All of them are 1/2400 and made by GHQ HMS Malaya (actually, the mini is that of the Warspite, GHQ still has to do the Malaya). I'd got it in the mixed bag of second hand ships I bought at the club a few months ago.
C class AA cruisers, HMS Cairo & Calcutta
And a batch of Bagley class destroyers

Nice work. I especially like your skill with rust effects. |

For Malaya, you would do better to use GHQ's Barham model, FWIW. Either "as-is", or for fun, you could add a hanger and cross-deck catapult. |

They're a great way to build a fleet, but I really can't see that small any more. Even 1/1800 is past, but 1/1200 still works. Thanks for sharing! |

That is a really fine job on the Malaya, Foxbat! The other ships look great as well. |

"Bagley" had an interesting, if somewhat checkered, history. Bruce Loxton's book "The Shame of Savo" makes the case that she fired the torpedo that doomed "Canberra" at the battle of Savo Island. As for the five "Queen Elizabeths" surely no state ever got more out of its investment in a class of five ships. Such a shame none was preserved- can you imagine what an interesting floating museum "Warspite" would have made? |
