... and get a metric F-ton of those 1/700 scale Japanese-made WWII ships and planes at an affordable price to make 3d targets.

I've been using these for years, for air/naval games in 1/700 scale - I built and painted these over 30 years ago, and have an attic stuffed with hundreds more of 'em, all unbuilt.

I love those wheel decals. Where did those come from?

[Jager]

I wish I could get steadier hands to try some of these... and get a metric F-ton of those 1/700 scale Japanese-made WWII ships and planes at an affordable price to make 3d targets.

I have 45 in the basement waiting for the workbench to be clear. I hope my hands and eyes are up to it

[camelbeagle]

Love the Air and Sea battle!!!!! Awesome!!!!

[Shadowcat]

Sigh...NO...NO...NO....NO.....I do not have a box of the old Alnavco WWII ships in the basement I think in 1/2400 scale that I used for Seapower III games.

I do not need to find em, I do not need to think about them...I do not need........OH.....Here they are....sigh

Thanks guys..

Well, still nothing WoG related, but some out-of-shelved games glueing and painting: The Blackstone Fortress figurines glued and primed with black&white primers.

ALNAVCO. I remember getting a catalogue of theirs when I was in HS, many years ago, but never bought them. Just built the usual ships, tanks and planes. Had my AIRFIX WW I planes hanging from the ceiling. Old memories.

Nice! Generic landmass, or trying to replicate a specific location? (Before they went to the Revised version with preprinted islands instead of tiles, the original A&A War at Sea map was specifically Ironbottom Sound at Guadalcanal.)

My attempt at a AEG G.IV in mottled camouflage from late 1916. The airplane is Shapeways from Kampfleiger models originally in BSF which is no longer an option. Gunners are Shapeways by RAF. Small decals are from 1/144 Direct while the large wing crosses are from Mark I.Ltd. Painting the mottled camo was much easier than trying to apply bomber hex decals (which I don't have). Installing the rear gunner in the large rectangular open cockpit to the rear was also a bit of a challenge.

Generic - just somewhere to place both an airfield and a port facility beside a lagoon, so the Wargames club had something for the Japs to bomb the sh!t out of!
Both facilities have been greatly expanded since these photos were taken.

As would be expected ....

[BobP]

Very nice by all.
Robert I have an AEG CIV coming this week and have been looking at the G IV. Now I see what one looks like. Hopefully see it in person soon.

wish i could grow a garden like this!

[BobP]

Great work by all this month. Received my Shapeways order today so that is on the bench for May. I think I will start some work today. Damp so I think just holes for the bearing.

[Willi]

Haven't done any models in 18 years, so now I've finished therapy on my hand, this is my 1st go at Valom 1/144.

It's a wonderful "first go".
