All you need is a few Ford Cortinas and you're set for some cops and robbers fun. One of my favourite sets of miniatures ever, sorry to tempt you with another project that has nothing to do with ships.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5688947053556352475.post-79521166539241180892010-10-31T08:36:52.137+00:002010-10-31T08:36:52.137+00:00Hi guys, glad you liked the post, but you've g...Hi guys, glad you liked the post, but you've got me all fired up now over this project - just need to track down those Manley rules, and get hold of a magnetic whiteboard!SteelonSandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12231931971295669901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5688947053556352475.post-4803900431018146142010-10-31T01:14:53.311+00:002010-10-31T01:14:53.311+00:00WoW- they look great and noting says "fleet a...WoW- they look great and noting says "fleet action" like a stack of tiny ships like those - well done!!!!Paul O'Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611720164170399684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5688947053556352475.post-45150536733056105712010-10-30T23:45:04.428+01:002010-10-30T23:45:04.428+01:00Very nice, you got some amazing detail on those fo...Very nice, you got some amazing detail on those for the size! Magnetic basing sounds a good plan, at this scale you could get yourself a magnetic whiteboard for a tenner and play out some nice fleet battles without having to worry about sneezing your fleet off the table. Just an idea, the seascape map is lovely though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5688947053556352475.post-13012216037498989502010-10-30T21:26:30.740+01:002010-10-30T21:26:30.740+01:00These look wonderful.

Those models look stunning and I can almost picture the action naval battle scene in Ben Hur.........;-)<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5688947053556352475.post-24842188164517458912010-10-30T13:30:51.556+01:002010-10-30T13:30:51.556+01:00These look really very nice - sooo tempted...These look really very nice - sooo tempted...Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15785517757211882618noreply@blogger.com
