In your collection. Painted and ready to game.

0. Same as all the other ships.

I think I've got some aircraft in the microscale SF if that makes you feel happier.

ZULUPAUL Supporting Member of TMP27 Jun 2018 3:41 p.m. PST

none, I don't do naval warfare gaming.

Joes Shop Supporting Member of TMP27 Jun 2018 4:01 p.m. PST

12 – 1/2400. 4 – 1/600.

Wackmole927 Jun 2018 4:13 p.m. PST

I once had 60 in 1/2400 but sold them off long ago

dragon6 Supporting Member of TMP27 Jun 2018 4:50 p.m. PST

6 in 1/2400 now cargo ships in general 24+ and then there's the tankers, the Japanese and the Italians. For some reason I don't have many British?

The whole point, of naval games, is to get the merchants to their destination.

Dynaman878927 Jun 2018 5:28 p.m. PST

Zip – don't have any other WW2 naval minis yet either.

I've got plenty of Paper ones from the game Submarine by Avalon Hill.

khanscom27 Jun 2018 6:08 p.m. PST

0- but I do have a small selection of pre- WWI freighters, oilers, tugs, and even a hospital ship.

Frederick Supporting Member of TMP27 Jun 2018 6:37 p.m. PST

Zip – I have a fair number of small scale destroyers, cruisers, battlewagons and carriers – Japanese, Brits, US and German – but no merchantmen

TMPWargamerabbit27 Jun 2018 6:56 p.m. PST

Three in 1/700 but unbuilt and unpainted at this moment.

I have a die-cast Liberty ship that's about 3 inches long that, if I recall correctly, I found at an antique show on the east coast about 40 years ago. I've never actually used it in a game, but it has appeared on my desk occasionally.

My late father served on Liberty ships during and after WW2.

Narratio27 Jun 2018 7:47 p.m. PST

Nada, I think they'd only be of use in U-Boat v convoy games. Now that's a bit of niche area.

David Manley27 Jun 2018 8:03 p.m. PST

About 30

Chuckaroobob27 Jun 2018 9:23 p.m. PST

I have one merchant ship in 25mm. Don't know if it'd be considered a liberty ship.

20+ painted, maybe 40+ more unpainted. All 1/6000

Militia Pete28 Jun 2018 3:51 a.m. PST

My Grandfather had 5 PT boats he bought at the Philadelphia shipyard and made one nice cruise boat out of them. Oh, you mean models….

Personal logo Virtualscratchbuilder Supporting Member of TMP Fezian28 Jun 2018 5:11 a.m. PST

Old Wolfman28 Jun 2018 7:24 a.m. PST

Nada.

Choctaw28 Jun 2018 8:03 a.m. PST

I have one GHQ Liberty ship but it keeps getting sunk. Stupid U-boats.

wrgmr128 Jun 2018 8:33 a.m. PST

None.

Sorry, loose lips sink ships. That information is privileged.

sjpatejak28 Jun 2018 10:31 p.m. PST

I have two 1/2400 liberty ships along with an assortment of merchantmen ranging from trawlers to Queen Mary

Pontius29 Jun 2018 11:38 a.m. PST

Only one Liberty ship, but about 15 assorted merchant ships in all, including a few homemade. All in 1:3000.

saxophone05 Jul 2018 3:57 p.m. PST

I can't build and paint them as fast as the real things. :)
