WWII German Fleet

 I finally had a couple of days to get back to work on the 1/2400 WWII fleets. This one is the German fleet. It only has 13 vessels so far. The next time I have enough new files to justify firing up the printer again, I will print another Hipper class heavy cruiser to use for the Prinz Eugen, and another Scharnhorst to use for the Gneisenau. The Scharnhorst here is GHQ and the Bismarck is scratch built.

  1. These look fab, Vol! We will need to find rules and get a little WWII naval action onto the table.

  3. Thanks Lawrence. A lot cruder than your enviable all GHQ fleets, but I'm happy.

  5. Nice job. I do like this scale for WWII naval. Adding the little label is a nice touch, but didn’t you have to use a super small font size? 😀

    1. Thanks Stew. I agree, this is a better scale than the 1/1800 that I started with. They were just too big! The font I ended up with is Algerian 6. I put them on both sides so I could see them from either side of the table.
