JOHN RUDDLE'S GARDEN SHIPS AGAIN

Buried in the "Naval" thread (see the label to the right) is this blogpost on John Ruddle's large scale wargames ships, part of the various VBCW musing and mutterings re. "28mm aircraft carrier design" that preceded the (postponed) "Assault on Newquay" Big Game.

For those who can't get enough of "BIG Ships", Bob Cordery of the long-running "Wargames Miscellany" blog (and "Portable Wargame" fame) has now published some more photographs of John Ruddle's garden set up - see HERE (PART ONE) and especially HERE (PART TWO). Lovely stuff!

A scratchbuilt battleship passes a port on a newly mown lawn in calm conditions.

ADD EDIT : John Ruddle sadly passed away at the age of 91 in February 2023. There are some nice recollections of John and his wargames garden on the Collecting Toy Soldiers webpage HERE
