Still moving both forward and backward in time, Houston's Ship's Fittings continue to offer gamers and modelers more details to make scratch-building or tricking out commercial model warships in 15mm and 28mm easier than ever.

As before, all models are 3D-resin prints for maximum detail, authenticity, and durability for wargames warship models from the Age of Sail to at least WWI – and the best prices around.

In order of release (more or less), a "Modern" Life Raft is now ready to add to decks and bulkheads.

For modelers of 19th Century warships, two versions of Hold Gratings are now offered, one square and the other rectangular.

Rectangular Grating

One of the most requested items from scratch-builders has finally been perfected, making Victorian, ACW, and other models less intimidating projects: sidepaddle wheels for your river and ocean steamers.

A sternwheel design will follow soon!

Finally, deck-mounted skylights are available to give your models that final touch.

And there's still more to come!

Cheers!
