I assume that is in your usual 1/3000 scale? That makes it pretty amazing work.

You are correct sir, 1/3000th. It is actually easier then it looks, I took pictures of the steps to take and it only took me a light afternoon to get her built.

Very cool! Any chance of a tutorial on making your ships?

Nice job, as usual. Do you use these models in games, or are they just for display?

@cfieltz; Well, the pics should give you a good guideline, get a decent pic, markt that out on graph paper with the correct sizes and work from there. It's not rocketscience, but practice makes perfect.

@hindsTMP; For display until I finish a NATO fleet and a Russian fleet plus airforces and the rest of the convoy etc……maybe I'll actually game with them in 2012 <grin>

Dear Johan,
How do you do the printing on the side?
Any chance of a master class?
Cheers,
Peter

I know you say it's not rocket science, but it's pretty intimidating to me. I'm another who would really like to hear more about how you do this. Do you draw it on the graph paper and then cut out the shape of each layer from plastic card, or what?

How about making some speed boats full of Somali Pirates to chase her down!
