Went with the Jerimiah Obrain. though I also laid paint on the Alabama. I had to mix a medium bluish color for the Jemimiah's deck and then just added more dark blue to the mix and went ahead and did the Bama. so far I've got the red hull and the blue decks done on the Bama and I'm not even officially working on the kit. The Jerimiah looks real simple and I more that likely will put jut a wee bit of brass taken out of spare parts to hit ladders and maybe a railing or two. Looks like then the Bama will finally roll down the slipway. GOtta work a bit harder as I just added 3 subs to the buy side of the sheet this year. That is 10 kits (includes pre-orders not recivd yet) so far and I am only on #7 in the build side.

I know the feeling--just got in the Trumpeter Repulse and was so taken by her I put her on the ways straight off. I should have her scene done by the end of the month!
