I'm not sure what inspired me. It may have been the plastic models of IJN Micasa, Yamato, and Akagi my wife and daughter gifted me; or it may have been watching the Little Wars "Battle of the Denmark Strait videos on YouTube. Whatever it was, I went a bit crazy and printed every ship file I could get my hands on. I resized everything to 1/1200 to match the scratch built Bismark I did, along with two GHQ Micronaut WWII models I have.

It's the summer work season now so I'm not getting much done on the hobby front. Mostly piddling with different things, reorganizing books, and a 1/450 3rd rate.

I hope everyone is having a great summer!
These all look fab! When do you expect to get them into a game?
ReplyDeleteHaha, well I suppose when I bring them over to your house!
DeleteSeems a solid plan to me.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a natural consequence of having 3d printer. Instant fleet and project backlog. 😀
ReplyDeleteAbsolute Truth! On both counts! My plastic pile is approaching the size of my lead pile!
DeleteGreat looking ww2 ships and a lovely 3rd rate!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks Iain. I still need to knock out the German fleet at least, to play. Other stuff just keeps getting in the way.
DeleteGreat stuff Vol. I'll be following these with interest, especially the WW II ships.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lawrence. As I mentioned, I got a bit distracted, then took a commision for a Spanish Armada uncas. When I finish that, maybe I can get back to the WWII ships. Jon says he wants to try a game.
