Cruel Seas - 50 Shades of Grey

I've now completed all the MTBs and E Boats that came with the Cruel Seas starter set as well as some freebies that came with the recent issue of Wargames Illustrated.

I still have to complete a couple of boats kindly donated by Eric the Shed and a couple of PT boats that came with the next issue of WI but I certainly have more than enough to get started.

I decided not to go for any fancy camouflage schemes which meant digging out a variety of grey paints.  The starter set has a basic painting guide and there was lots of inspiration on some of the Cruel Seas Facebook groups that have sprung up.

erm..no, just no....

After a rummage in my paint box I realised I would need to get more grey paint which meant a trip to the local Games Workshop and trying to decipher the names of their paints and work out a comparison to the similar shades in Vallejo.  Luckily I was spared the usual " and what are you painting?" conversation.

So here are the MTBs and S Boats so far.  They still need flags adding and possible a wash but I'm still in 2 minds about this.  Now I need to get cracking on the launched torpedoes.
