@SeaYa I might do that physical option. It’s a split nine to ten hour with two stops, one down and one back. That would work pretty well, if a bit different.
Some more of my stuff and modifications.
-
As I couldn’t stand the new oob u-boats, even my added sail section didn’t really fix it. Had to get some type VII and IX hulls from shapeways by Ebard.
I broke the deck gun off the one top left prepping the hull, so as a quick save, I used a bit o wire for a “snort”. -
My versions of Bismarck and Tirpitz from Hbg. With their bows rebuilt.
-
Nice job on the bow rebuild. The sculpt’s original bow is just a little too straight up, and you’ve put a more accurate angle to it so it better resembles what it’s supposed to resemble.

@DMcLaren
Thank you.
Not sure about original. These had been nipped off a few mm to far at the factory. They’re all super glue, as I hadn’t stated using milliput yet. -
A few more examples from the Kriegsmarine.
-
I completely forgot these were hiding out with the French navy. Originally they were super sub prototypes back when all I had was classic sculpts.
Project stopped since they’re the same size as the new generation boats.
Some other French ships.
Didn’t do much for Russians.
-
A look at some Italians.
Flight deck is from combat miniatures. Was a bit short, made it work. Thinking Field marshal’s sculpt might have been smaller. -
Anzac ships.

Some examples from the Royal Navy.

Japanese.
Two CV’s with Combat miniatures flight decks. -
Sides look great on the CV’s! That’s a detail a lot of people don’t bother with, but I think it adds so much.

@DMcLaren
I’m to obsessive to skip visible areas.
Although now I skip aircraft bellies, after someone slid one and left a paint skid across the board. -
I had some real issues with lighting the U.S., the flight decks kept showing as black as the numbers.
Essex and Independence are Combat miniatures stickers with the flags flipped forward and numbers changed with decals.
My research had subs painted with 5-O or black, did half each. As my 5-O just disappears into the stock board color, had to paint the decks, or have free floating flags. -
Really have to give a big thanks to Hbg for this one.
Been looking for a 3D airfield markers that wouldn’t break my budget, Hbg had these derricks on sale.
Replaced the top with a 4mm cube, filed a roof pitch in it and added a base for stability.
-
Guess since I’ve got the airfields figured out, there’s no reason not to build a Naval base.
Additional.
A simple paint so the building stays visible.
-
Tanks, Tanks & more Tanks.
-
The tanks look fantastic. The wash really adds a lot to the finished look.
-
I absolutely love your work, may have to barrow the merchants in distress idea(fabulously done).Paint jobs,your use of washes,mods,everything.Please keep sharing.

Absolutely fabulous work. I especially love your skillful reuse of the old Milton Bradley A&A armor (as tanks were called in that edition).
