Hmmm.... the two MTBs look kinda like this Soviet design:

The DD (DE?) is harder to place. The twin stacks and three turrets with one forward and two aft is vaguely reminiscent of Japanese tin cans, but the light torpedo armament doesn't feel right!

Good work. I really like your naval base!

I'm taking the week of Thanksgiving off and I'm hoping to get a bunch of painting done. Maybe I'll pull out my bases and work on them...of course, after I finish up my German AFVs I've started... :-)

I supposed I did! Honestly, I was just trying to keep it a bit generic. A brown deck would be too much like IJN, a blue deck too much like USN. So, i figured if I kept the deck a dark grey, it would be a bit more amorphous.

Yep, the G-5 Torpedo Boat. And in the spirit of all things Soviet, I needed to find a 4 armor or less ship to go with it. It's a Yastreb Class Gunboat.
