I am working on a few different projects at the moment and I looking around the net for a model of Island Class Patrol Vessels in 1/700. I would love to get one of these maybe two as I am working on a Whale Wars game and the MV Steve Irwin is of this class. I live in Jersey and HMS Jersey was one of these class so it would be nice to get a 2nd one to display at home. Before being sold to the Bangladesh navy. Here is a pic.
I am also looking for the Japanese Whaling fleet in 1/700 |

Looks like a WWII armed trawler. Check 1/600th from Skytrex, or PT Dockyard. Both make their WWII vessels in the larger scale. |

If you find them let me know, I've been looking for 1/600 or 1/700 models for this for ages. In 1/1200 at least there is the old Skytrex Island class…. |

Hi Virtualscratchbuilder that would be great I will take 2. Thanks sjolly H4, I already have all the range from Paul at decapod models. I have made a cod wars game using the X-Wing movement system and custom dials from litko. I will modify these rules to do a Whale Wars game. For Cod Wars I am still looking for ICGV Thor, ICGV Albert and ICGV Arvakur in 1/700. Still looking for someone who can make these for Whale Wars in 1/700:- MV Steve Irwin MV Bob Barker MV Sam Simon MV Brigitte Bardot MV Ady Gil Nisshin Maru Yushin Maru Shonan Maru No. 2 Sun Laurel |

Thanks David for the reply. It was your rule sets about the Cod Wars and Whale Wars that got me started on these projects. As I said before I am using a X-wing movement system and Crown and Anchor dice for all rolls. Crowns good for Royal Navy and Anchors good for ICG. |
