I'm not sure if this is a longshot or not, but could someone post or link to an image or images of 1/3000 gunboats from this era on bases? Even better would be side by side with 1/2400 gunboats. Thanks in advance.

I've just been looking at the Navwar list to see what there is, but I haven't seen many "in the flesh" yet and will be interested to hear what others say.

There are some useful pictures on the War Times Journal store pages, if that helps.

I've seen WTJ's photos but aren't they mostly 3d renderings with nothing specifically in 1/3000?

I thought some of them were the actual plastic/resin/whatever – but admittedly the scale may be one of the bigger ones so maybe not what you are looking for. I found them helpful in working out what they might be useful for as substitutes. All I have from Navwar are the US Helena (still working on
a mast arrangement for that – looks rather bare without) and the Russian Khrabry/Abrek, and at least one of the Chinese fleet packs but no pics sorry.

f/b link-- 1/3000 scale French colonial gunboats c. 1905. Scratchbuilt from plans in Jane's; compatible with WTJ capital ships in that scale.
