Following the last post on 1/72 naval conversions and scratchbuilding for Rapid Fire! games, simply some eye candy of single vessels - and whole fleets:
 |
RM's "Hunt Class destroyer", apparently bombarding a "D Day beach"
|
 |
the same destroyer, but this time possibly off the shore of Crete.
There weren't many Ju87s around on D-Day....
|
 |
| A German Fleet for a Seelowe game. All but one of ships these appear scratchbuilt. |
 |
Another view of the German invasion fleet. A wonderful Z class destroyer
accompanies lots of invasion barges. An idea of the size can be gained
from the file boxes in the background.
|
 |
| The German fleet leaving harbour - "wir fahren gegen Engeland!" |
 |
| Close up of the Z Class destroyer. |
 |
| Bow and bridge of the Z class destroyer. |
 |
| Stern of the Z class destroyer |
 |
| German Air Assets ready in support! |
 |
The plucky Royal Navy. A scratchbuilt cruiser with MTBs in support.
The sailing vessels suggest that this is either off Crete, or a truly desperate
British defence of the Channel in 1940.
|
 |
| Close up of the RN cruiser. Scratchbuilt. |
 |
| Another view of the same vessel. |
 |
| The German destroyer hoves into view - Action Stations! |
 |
| Fleet action! Its seems that Napoleonic broadsides are to determine the issue.... |
 |
| The inevitable result....wreckage, oil slicks and a losing crew in life rafts... |
 |
| Useful for something at last....German air power serves as Air/Sea rescue. |
