Finally finished them! I started to paint them when I was in Liverpool in 2012, I left them nearly finished, but focused on other ships (and even spaceships!). The sails needed a repaint to match the new desing shown on the heavy cruisers, and once I came back to paint the Imperial Human ships it was just a matter of time to have the regular cruisers finished.
Unlike the rest of the ships the planks that make the decks of those cruisers were painted by hand, because at the time I started painting them I had no idea of the Army Painter DIP until a person in the Spartan Games forums told me about that (I think he was Awesomehotdude). So, go figure the ammount of work and patience those ships required. The Army Painter really really speeds up the process ande leaves a better finishing touch.
I also have magnetized the bases, (by cutting an A4 magnetized sticker) because those masts can be damaged if transported on a regular model case, So I only need some metallic cookie boxes to transport the fleet safely ;)
Finally I have uploaded all those pictures to the Spartan Games forum gallery, and plan to do the same on the Deviant Art website.
I have to admit I failed at painting the battleships before the 30th of November but things are getting very busy, the English exams are coming, Winter is coming, relatives keep coming... you know ;-)
But I will try to keep this blog updated if not every day, at least every two days.
