MERRY CHRISTMAS guys!!! Sorry I missed last weeks one. It was crazy leading up to the holidays so I had no time to do it. A few comments. Just like Santa has a little of everything in his bad so there will be a little of everything in this one. Second congrats to GVwalker he won the contest so HMAS Waterhen is in this one. Also sorry to ND if I messed up anything on the Greek Destroyer (Please don't haunt me in my sleep if I did). Finally sorry Sammy B does not look good because I did a terrible job on her.
Anyway here it is and Merry Christmas. Torpman

Sorry this is late last weekend was not easy on me. I had to work Saturday and Sunday and it was also the first anniversary of a friend dying. Thus it was not an easy weekend. Anyway here is part 19 on the Coral Sea. Not only that but this issue of SOTW in general did not turn out that well.

Ok yes its another ABDA one. But there is a reason why I am doing so many of these. The pictures and information needed to make this was insanely harder to find than in any other theater. (Especially HMS Encounter) Also this with a 50/50 chance will be my last ABDA one. So anyway...
Enjoy

Sorry I always wanted to say that. Anyway here is part 11 of the series. It is on Soviet warships. This ones was especially hard finding any pictures of Soviet ships in camo and WHH really helped me alot with it so everyone please give him a big hand, because he made this possible.
Hi all. I was late with last weeks edition so to pay you guys back this weeks will be early. First of all why is it special? Well it is because I am now doing planes on occasion now. Anyway this weeks is over Force Z. Force Z is extremely unique as all the ships carried completely different camo from Alexandria dazzle to Western Approaches styles. This makes for a very flavorful selection. HMS Prince of Wales was extremely difficult as everyone seems to disagree what she looked like. After a long search the following is what it would have looked like. Making the side profile of the ship was extremely difficult and it took like 2.5 hours for me to do making it my longest work ever

Its time for some Japanese. Here is some of the camo designs that they would have worn during WW II. I know a lot of you will be interested in them. Enjoy.
Also I know this is a a little early for it but I am working a charity BBQ tomorrow so I will be gone all day.
Here is part 7 on British ship for Operation Pedestal. I think the camo jobs on these ships are really interesting. I will look into some Italians and Japanese Carriers in the few few weeks.
Enjoy guys.
