Constructing the Cressida Rose Part Five - Barricades

The final pieces for the Paddle Steamer Cressida Rose are the set of improvised barricades - emplacements for the 7 lb gun at the bow and a Nordenfelt machine gun infront of the Wheelhouse, and covered pallets for the top and lower decks.

Before undercoating
The heavy resin pieces were undercoated in white and then painted in flat colours with Miniature Paints.  I then used two layers of highlighting and gloss varnish.
