Hi everyone,
I am new to gaming and to flats. I was wondering – does anyone know if there are any flat model makers who sell WWII warships – eg the Bismarck and the Hood? If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. Thanks. Andy. |

This site is not the highest detail but it may work for what you are needing. cke1st.com/m_games4.htm Junior General's top down section has a Bismark and Hood if I remember correctly but not many others too. |

The Topside stuff is excellent. I have no interest in WW2 but I got some samples at a show. NOTE: It is printed on plastic (vinyl?) so very durable and waterproof! |

I have some Topside stuff. Really, really nice for flats. I have a lot of 1/2400 minis for Pacific, but I am doing Topside flats for Atlantic/Med instead. |

Thanks Everyone :) I will have a look at Topside. Does anyone know if there are any figure makers where the ships are side-on, rather than top-down? Regards, Andy. |

Andy, I have not seen side-on markers for ships, which would look good. Christian Rogge may still be on the SYW pages of TMP; he paints his own flats for the 18th century wars (land). Perhaps he can advise you? |

If you don't mind doing a little work yourself try visiting shipbucket.com There you find detailed drawings of nearly every warship ever designed since the mid 19th century. With a simple image manipulation program and a printer it is possible to produce flats of ships from the Gloire and Warrior up to the latest designs, and in whatever scale you desire. |

Thanks All. Pontius – thanks for the link. We have been using paper printouts of ships and then sticking them on a base to play our games at the moment. Cheap and effective. This site provides access to a fabulous range of drawings that will increase our fleets:) lapatrie – I will make some enquiries and let you know how I go. Happy New Year everyone. Andy. |
