Finished my alpha boat from Battlefront and have concocted stats for it. Also debut a Vedette de Port. Finally some pictures of an Iraq battle. Found here:

FoF? So these are 15mm? wow.. either way they look great. Actually the whole game looks great.

Love to know, Did you make the 'base' hexes for the modern FoF (2nd) game?

PT,
Shucks! The older I get the more I enjoy the challenge of "putting on" a good looking game. When I started it was all about function. You can tell the age of my figures based on their bases; some are sandpaper only! I realize alot of it is about the little things. thanks
yes it is all 15mm. The base hexes are actually Hexon terrain. The city is just their basic boards that I spray painted various shades of gray. Their terrain is expensive but has easily payed for itself over the years. I would recommend it to anyone. I love hexes; plays much faster with no stopping to measure. I don't even notice them anymore.
Thanks again

Joe,
I'm so glad I dropped by to see your game again. I had not even noticed the French flag on the ASPB "A-91".
As to the the fwd. turret was it your own 'creation' to build it so you can swap it out for either the 20mm or the 'open' twin .50 mount?

"Hexon terrain". I'll ck that out, even if out of my budget, they look good.

PTG,
The Forward turret in the french boat is twin 50s from my Peter Pig Patrol boat. The french boats didn't have closed turrets so I had to improvise.
Hexon terrain is worth it. The price isn't bad; it is the postage that kills you.

Ughh, so across the 'pond' Joe, or God forbid, around the world (Aus.)

That's kind of the humor of ordering items. I have a No. of my mothers Elvis dvd collection. However the cost of shipping, makes it next to pointless to even try.

UK. I will admit I bought mine when I was stationed in England so postage was local. Still think it pays for itself; just takes a little longer. I wonder if anyone carries it on the states?
