Today I finally put words into action after a 3 year hiatus I built and painted my first ships. My intent was to just do the Battleship Pelaya, but it all came back so easy I just kept going until diner.

| Completed Pelayo |
As a result I was able to complete 7 of the 14 Spanish ships that were scheduled to join the fleet. I am very satisfied with the results. In some ways I think they even look better than the first ones I did as I have learned new techinques while I was away. Last time I did not use acelerator for my gluing and that now make a big difference in speeding the projects along.

| Cruiser Carlos V |
The models are Panzerschiffe. The sculpts are pretty basic, but with some inking, dry brushing and the addition of masts they definately give a good feel for the ship they represent.
 |
| Trio of Protected Cruisers |
I attaked these largest to smallest and by class. I only have 7 more models, but they are the smaller older vessels with losts of masts and spars, so may take a bit longer. Assembeling 3or 4 at a time does make it move along though.

| Seven new additions |
Although these ships did not participate in either of the two historic Naval battles they will make for some interesting hypotheticals.
 |
| Full Spanish Fleet for now |
With any luck I will complete the Spanish this week.
