RAF Shapeways Farman F40 RNAS done up for for the next OTT mission - needed because Chris (malachi) says we need slow bombers so that the German scouts can catch them.
Not aeronautical but these do require wind. Done this month for the sister site, Sails of Glory. Not as easy as the Farman F40.
17th Century ships for the Anglo-Dutch wars, English Civil War, etc.
Two 1st Rate English ships - the Sovereign of the Seas (100 guns) and Resolution (80-90 guns), sporting the naval flag of the Commonwealth.
Four armed merchantmen - the two small ones of 4-6 guns and two larger ones of 26 guns.
Really impressive warships, Paul. I hope a sea battle AAR is planned.
There is an AAR on the SoG site - not specifically with the above ships but with ones I did earlier. The AAR is based on the battle of Southwold.Originally Posted by Larry R.

However more battles are planned...Kentish Knock (1st Anglo-Dutch War) and Royalist (Prince Rupert) vs Commonwealth (Blake) at Lisbon.
Thanks to Easter holidays, I could finally complete this long procrastinated paint job.

Big thumbs-up for that one Fabrizio

loverly work Paul and Fabrizio
Yep - What he saidloverly work Paul and Fabrizio
Oh, I missed the ships - cracking job.

Very nice Farman and Caproni
So did I, but by design...Oh, I missed the ships - cracking job.
I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!
love the farman, ships of the line and the caproni paul and fabrizio!!!!
So I decided to do a Nieuport triplane. I like the unconventional style and feel that it will work well with T&T. Because they weren't ever put into service and because of the sci-fi nature of T&T I had a little fun with the paint scheme.
On the home stretch with my first Felixstowe. Need to add the props and waiting on larger decals that will hopefully fit. Litko bases with vinyl sticker overlays.
Wow Chris, that looks........dazzling
Run for your life - there are stupid people everywhere!
Thanks, Steve! I adapted cards you made for the base templates, appreciate that
Oh, ICWUDT
Really nice Felixstowe, Chris. The a/c type looks advanced for its time. I wonder if there were any Felixstowe pilot memoirs published? I'd certainly like to get my hands on one if it were available.
Nice job Chris! That Felixstowe looks awesome!
Thank you, guys. Looking forward to getting it into battle.
Larry, I can recommend this book: The Spider Web It's interesting to see how the bases expanded and built up and gives interesting info on their patrols and all the challenges of navigation, enemy encounters, etc.
It was a great read and might fit the bill for what you're looking for. Also Aeronaut Books: Patrolling the North Sea in WWI by Robin Jeffrey & Sir Austin Robinson, 2019. The large two volume set is more comprehensive for development, production, etc but pilot reports interspersed throughout: The Fighting America Flying Boats of WWI, Colin Owers, 2016. It's quite a rabbit hole
Nice Nieuport Triplane Robert
Wow Chris - awesome paint job on that Felixstowe
Great job, Chris

Thanks guys. These were also used in an anti-zeppelin role. Hmm
Very nice Felixstowe!
Thanks, Tim! Maybe you'll get to see it in person
I'm still on my Spanish Civil War kick at the moment, so I have painted up a few more Republican aircraft. (Apologies for the rough photography).
A Dewoitine D510, 3D print from a Plane Printer file
Two Polikarpov I-15s, again from Plane Printer, decals from Kevin (Misc Minis)
Two Tupolev SB2s, Plane Printer/Kevin as previously
The piece de resistance, a Douglas DC2. This is an old HBM model with home made decals This was used as a makeshift bomber with someone chucking bombs out of the passenger door. It was used to bomb Ferrol harbour, and later in the war was camouflaged so it was slightly less obvious.

Very nice, Steve!
Great idea using this unique attempt at an airplane with T&T.So I decided to do a Nieuport triplane. I like the unconventional style and feel that it will work well with T&T. Because they weren't ever put into service and because of the sci-fi nature of T&T I had a little fun with the paint scheme.
Wow, wonderful Felistowe Chris. My eyes are falling out!
Nice! As Tim said (+), Super Six Spanish Sivilwar, Steve.
Espléndido camarada !

Okay rmarsh, I love the tri-plane!
Not really "work in progress" but it is what's holding me up from making progress with the OTT EYM Mission 6 scenario. I shall have to play the mission on the dining room table this month
The pic shows an attempt to, kind of, refight Malplaquet in 10mm scale. Only with the army positions reversed. The British and Dutch are defending a line of earthworks and the French are advancing from the woods and trying to outflank their opponents, but this time on their left flank. Its going to take a while to see this one through at once a week, hence the OTT hold up.
Nice Mike. What game system are you using?Not really "work in progress" but it is what's holding me up from making progress with the OTT EYM Mission 6 scenario. I shall have to play the mission on the dining room table this month

We're using a set of rules that my friend picked up at a car boot sale. They are called "The Age of Marlborough - Wargame Rules 1689-1721. Written by Bill Lucas and published in 1990 by "Gladiator Games". They work principally on the idea of "disruption points", which took us a while to get used to, but, so far as we are concerned, work really well. Originally intended for 25mm scale, but we adapted them.What game system are you using?
Looks great Mike. Not familiar with those rules. I've used Koenig Krieg for musket/lace period.
I have to say I had never come across them either, Peter, until my friend introduced them to me. Neither have I come across Koenig Krieg before. There are so many rule systems out there, and in the past I've tended towards WRG. But these, by Bill Lucas, are a refreshing change.Not familiar with those rules.I've used Koenig Krieg for musket/lace period.
Some great work there chaps, some odd stuff definitely, but that Felixstowe is something else.
Never Knowingly Undergunned !!
