Hello, I'm looking for ships and boats in 1/350 scale to game WW1 Air-Naval scenarios. Apart from some model battleships what else is there available? |

Revell (not sure if it is Revell US or Germany) has a 1/350 SMS Emden. Pacific Front's pre-WW2 1:350 listings:
link If you are OK with paper model, there's a free download of a German Imperial Navy V108 torpedo boat model. I think it is 1:350

It's Revell Germany – and I have one. Pretty decent kit, not "state of the art" but can be made into a good model. |

Thanks! The paper model is 1:250 but looks great assembled. |

What's the best option to convert a WW2 U-Boat into a WW1 model? Also, were can I find 1:350/1:400 scale buildings? |

KC – your best bet for buildings would be the 1/300 stuff sold for microarmour, or any scaleable paper/card models. 1/350 is only really used with ships AFAIK. How stuck are you on 1/350? You might have more luck with 1/600, with extensive ranges from Skytrex skytrex.com (WWII, but with merchant vessels & terrain suitable for WWI) & PT Dockyard (A dedicated WWI range) ptdockyard.com Stronghold also used to do a 1/600 range (ex SDD & mostly WWII, again with some vessels suitable for earier periods) but they appear to be OOP. There are also plastic 1/700 terrain items from the likes of Skywaves & Tamiya that are large enough to work with 1/600. Your only problem is aircraft, I'm not sure if there are any WWI 'planes in 1/600, but are there any in 1/350 either? Shapeways might help in either scale. (edit – Tumbling Dice have some WWI aircraft link ) The WWI submarines were much more primitive (and generally smaller, K Class excepted link ) than the WWII ones. Possibly a WWII Mark II U boat could double up for a WWI example but I haven't ever tried that. Rod Langton has a small WWI coastal range in 1/200 link & Odizmal Oddy (via Picoarmor picoarmor.com/pages/home.php ) have 1/600 terrain. Irregular have terrain in their 2mm ranges too irregularminiatures.co.uk |

Thanks, I'm building terrain board modules, including a couple for costal operations,for ICOG:
link It uses 1:350 planes and vehicles so I thought 1:400 scale ships and 1:300/1:400 buildings would be OK. |
