"New releases for 1/4800 WW2 ships (Tiny Thingamajigs)" Topic

Italian Navy Condottieri-class Light Cruisers Set A*
(2 of each ship in Groups 3, 4 and 5, c. 1940-41)
shpws.me/3sRv
*Prior notice: these ships will also be included in a pack containing all 12 ships of the Condottieri-class; to be released at a later date once the remaining two classes (Groups 1 and 2) have been completed… Cheers!

US Navy Sims-class destroyers x6 (USS Roe, c. 1943)
shpws.me/3sRw
- there's also a request for a similar DD, the Bagley-class, which will be done in the following week/s. For those interested (and for variety), I could have a private sprue containing these two classes (the request was for 6+6 Sims/Bagley IIRC).

Lastly, the WIP blog entry:

Cheers and thanks for looking!

I'm committed to 1/2400, but it is IJN and USN…so I think I'll have to get me a sample sometime soon!

Cheers HesseCassel! :D Hope your sample come out to your liking; and the process 'uneventful' (apart from the long wait time from ordering up to the time the product/s knock at your doorstep :/ )

Hi everyone,

Hope your Dec. 25 was fine ;) Some new designs available for the Italian Navy:

BB Caio Duilio (x2) link
BB Conte di Cavour (x2) link

Alternatively, I've bundled those four ships into one pack: Italian Reconstructed Dreadnoughts (2+2)
link

DD Navigatori link

I've also started painting some of the ships and will be replacing the standard Shapeways renders if/when they're done :D (meh, they're tiny! o_O )

Cheers and best wishes for the next year!

(TMP copy pasta)

Hi everyone,

A month after and three, almost different "sculpts" :/

Queen Elizabeth class BB Set A ( shpws.me/3J4b )
- HMS Barham 1941
- HMS Warspite 1942
- HMS Malaya 1943

Cheers and thanks for looking!

P.S. …no "small" ship to go with these unfortunately :( I'll be doing an "experiment" of sort for a compromise in having one of the ships in a pack/sprue (any of the starboard/portside-most ship) with one half having a smooth, glass-like surface…

For this I'm doing Emile Bertin 1942 and 1943 (pre- and post- US refit) for want of a unique ship as my personal flagship, though the US refit has one less 6" gun XD

While you're at it, you should make the CA Algerie, which was probably the most-used French CA, both before and after the armistice.

MH

Yep, Algerie. Another beaut… till they replaced the mainmast with a box of AAs :-\
Planning on having the FN uniques (CA and CLs) in one item. Quite a lot of research in there. Vs the CL swarm of the Italians (still needs the Capitani Romani)…

Speaking of Italians: heavy cruisers :-D

Some new ones for February:
Italian Navy's Heavy Cruisers (7 CAs of Zaras, Trentos & Bolzano)
shpws.me/3NE0
Royal Navy's HMS Lion BB (1939) x2
shpws.me/3O35

Includes some recon planes should one be crazy enough :S

Cheers and thanks for looking!

Now available is the Italian Navy WWII Aircraft Carriers via Shapeways. Includes the following ships:

Aquila(1943)
Sparviero(1943)
Bonfoglietti(1932 design)

Includes 20 "aircrafts" (10 on each longitudinal support) based on the Re2001 (at this scale, it might as well represent a couple of different other aircrafts, albeit closer in silhouette, like the Supermarine Spitfire)

The item can be found at shpws.me/3Pp2
Thanks!

Hi everyone,

Added the following classes to the lineup:

IT CL Capitani Romani [1943] (x6) shpws.me/4tbV
US Brooklyn class CLs [1942] (7+2) shpws.me/4rdC

Cheers and thanks for looking!

Matt

I've always wanted to be able to play Avalon Hills Bismarck game using 1/4800 miniatures for the combat part of the game. CnC cover many but not all of those required. I've made a full list but off the top of my head I know I would need the following, might you consider making them?

HMS Eagle
HMS Hermes
HMS Ark Royal
HMS Cario

HMS Exeter (for variant game)

US
North Carolina
Augusta

The US Brooklyn class CLs [1942] look great Roe!! I especially like the 18 SOC Seagulls that come with them . They are going in my next order ! Robert

Cheers Robert! Guess 9 x 15 x 6" shells should do (for now… more to come should the Clevelands get started XD )

@Timmo
Thanks for the list! The soonest that will appear from your UK list would be the Exeter (many have requested her together with York, and lately the last two QEs)

I can't comment on the UK CVs yet, them being unique ships? (still traumatized by the Illustrious' hull o_O)

HMS Cario… would that be a typo for HMS Cairo/C-class (Carlisle) CL?

For the US list: sorry but only the Northampton class is the soonest. The BBs I have planned are the NYs, SDs and COs.

Nonetheless, I do plan to fill in any/all ships (reference/literatures-willing)… question though is how soonest :(

Cheers and thanks, will definitely list those ships down ;)

Matt

I can wait, after all this project has been considered many times over the years.

Cairo – yes C-class (typo).

CV's I'm not sure I don't know enough about them to know if they are unique or not. I guess I could always use extra Illustrious models as place-holders. Ditto US classes.

Exeter is encouraging news. Is there anywhere that I can see images of your actual models rather than rendering?

Hi Timmo,

Hmmm… apart from my *gasp* Facebook and the pics in my shop, I haven't been taking pics nor painted anything lately. I have the ships up to the 1/4800 HMS Lion(1939) though, didn't want to take pics since, as you see on those white blobs of 1/1800, it's hard to make out the details, moreso at 1/14800 (planning a painting session soon though)

Most welcome Roe . The Clevelands would be good too . Robert

Hi everyone,

To commemorate June 6th (and any/all such operations), I've made available the item "48US06 US Navy Amphibious Ships & Crafts" and can be found here: shpws.me/8emd

The pack indludes the following ships:
APA Haskell (x6)
APA Bayfield (x4)
LST Mk2 (x10)
LCI(L) (4 of each version, 12 total)
LCT (2 each of Mk5 & Mk6, 8 total)

40 ships (!) and took me a couple of tries to successfully upload onto Shapeways (technical reasons; third times the charm bringing it down to sub-1M triangles o_O )

Blog entry (for renders/close-ups): link

Thanks for looking!
