His health is bad again at the moment, but I got an email the other day that he will be at Crisis in Antwerp this weekend (no matter what) and would do his best to have my order ready. I had the same problem as you, made an order some time ago and no reply. I'm used to it though, so don't be...

At the moment I'm using I-94 decals exclusively, most meant for my 1/300 and 1/72 models, and a bit adapted. Most used pack is LB-100 (letter black) which gives you a lot of letters (each pack is 2 sheets) and comes in white, red and yellow as well. Most of the rest is handpainted with the...

Right, enough chit chat (though I am happy with the remark about a modern version of VaS at a later date. Hope it won't come with all dominant big ships, I like my ants snapping at big ships ankles), time for some more pics. A Osa to Komar conversion: And a Dutch Antilles Coast Guard vessel...

Interesting, I'll look into that. But at the moment all I'm building are new shell splashes as my old ones have all gone rusty (no sure what went wront there, but this time I will not use pins again) and a few Harpoons and Exocets....not really VaS material :D Torpedo markers should not be very...

Due to no players locally it kind of slumped down and I lost interest. Now, interest rekindled, I just paint for fun and prosperity as I doubt I will be playing a game against anybody else but me anytime soon. It's a mix of modern and WW2 though, so not everything will appeal to everyone...

1/3000 ships and 1.5mm plasticard so I can base them on a thin sheet of magnetic sheeting at a later date. And it looks like this: Fishingvessel is just a bit higher then double the thickness of the card, hence that card looking a bit thick :) I don't use specific measurements, I have precut...

Got an email that the book is sold out and I will have to wait even more for my order.... :cry: Johan

Hey Tom, nice ship (thx for reminding me I need more Med based targets :P ) with a intruiging base...I assume it's metalsheet, the same as you use for the other models? Speak to you soon (more like next year ;) ) Johan

I never tried GW water effect as the local shop doesn't stock it, at 20 euros a bottle nobody was interested in them (what a surprise). Pot of Vallejo is about as much and cost me 11 euros. No contest really. The Vallejo stuff is more like a paste though, so you can sort of sculpt it into place...

Has to be a very short tutrial I'm afraid, my plane leaves tomorrow. But lets see, it's fairly basic to be honest. 1. Base ship 2. Use brush to stipple vallejo water effects around it, make sure stipple some more for the bow and the propellor wash, and possibly do a few stripes at the side to...

Nope, this is all I have at the moment, just merchants. Won't have the Graf Spee and the 3 British hounds here till januari, but they should be painted up around the second week or so. If I then still like it I will order up 2-4 starter fleets . If I don't, they get relegated to target...

well...."Hi" :) Dutch gamer who is expanding his horizon so to speak. I have had a few 1/3000 scale ships for some time now and they where used as targets for my 1/300 scale aircraft, unpainted, just lead. Which is something I hate, wargaming with unpainted lead. But anyway. Last weekend I...
