Yeah, hot weather makes yardwork rather miserable, doesn't it! (currently 32degC and 60% humidity where I am… blargh!) If you're only going to do one ship a month, can I request a 'China station' Gunboat? A couple 3" guns and some MGs on the sides, just the thing to 'settle' trade discussions! |

Anton, are these all based on real ships? (I'm sure some are compacted for gaming usage, but by how much?) |

Looks great.
28mm?

Darby E,
Yes they are, more like cartoons than scale models, a huge amount of length disappears to make them manageable for gaming use. Big Bad Battleships website has loads of photos of pre-dreadnought ships. Length is reduced by about 40-60%, width about 30%, I them thin out the deck fixtures to a bare minimum (it still ends up crowded, but the real ships have very crowded decks) I try to retain the look of the thing as much as possible. richarDISNEY , yup, 28mm |

Well they look brilliant! Very inspirational. |

Wow I really like your ships! How you do the waterlines really works well! |
| Frank Scala | 17 Oct 2012 9:00 p.m. PST |
Any chance of getting templates for the hulls and such for the ships on your blog ? |
| Anton Ryzbak | 12 Nov 2012 1:47 p.m. PST |
Sorry about the late reply Frank, I would love to but I sort of eyeball these as I go, not a lot of drawings involved. I suppose I could reverse-engineer them for you if you are really interested. |
