Those are the GHQ 1/2400 scale Valiant,Pittsburgh and Bismark have masts added, they didnt come with masts. And valiants gun turrets are different then what came with it, they are spare gun turrets off of GHQ's HMS Barham. Used spare masts from GHQ's Myoko42 for masts, and spare radar...

Well In the U.S, there are whats known as"FS Colors" Federal Standard, but ships at sea didnt always carry FS colors. So there probably would have been quite the Variation on types of Grey, Blue, White etc etc. Notwithstanding of course the weathering, distance and all that.And Im not sure if...

I saw a very interesting article about a year back, concerning the U.S.S Arizona, apparently the model in the memorial site was incorrect, and had been for some 60 years. According to the crewmember in charge of Arizona's paint locker, her turret tops were painted Red to denote which division...

Ive found that after completing painting, some of the flats still look Glossy to me, so I spray the whole thing in Testors Dullcoat. Im an amateur when it comes to painting, been doing it for some 25 years, but still not a professional. Im constantly working or looking for new techniques to...

Very Good pictures there DM, most of the Carrier camo measures, you just have to wing it a bit, they all had what was called "Measure 32-C", and each dazzle pattern being unique to that particular carrier. In other words they had basic scheme guidelines, and where the Black, white, Light grey...

After 1943 when the Essex appeared on the Scene, U.S Flight decks were painted"Flight Deck Grey" with the white lines on the deck. As Bickley says, decks on Battleships, Cruisers and Destroyers were Deck Blue. For the flight deck color, look under Testors Maritime colors for"Navy Flight Deck"...

I still have about 200 Figs for it. Every once in a while i buy a few here and there. Get them from FRP Games online store. They have a good selection and ship fairly quickly, its too bad they dont stok GHQ or any other naval minis, theyre service is excellent.

I Started out playing in 1986, when it came out as"Robo Droids" I was in the Army then.And William Keith was another big starter for the book series, his books are just as good as Stackpoles.The game died here in Utah when Fasa went under its never made a recovery, except in my garage of...

Mike Stackpole pretty much wrote most of the history for Battletech in his Novels. For Battletech, when you wanted to know something about the History for a Tech readout or a rules book, you talked to Stackpole.Later when Fasa went under and WOTC took over, Stackpole quit writing for the...

Scale too I guess, as much as I would love to run it in 1/2400.. probably best to run it in 1/6000. There is going to be one guest speaker at this convention i cant wait to meet, Mike Stackpole!Woot Woot Woot :D I'm definately not gonna run a Leyte Gulf or Jutland at this one for sure. My...

Alas, i wont be able to make Gencon. But I have allready Inquired of the folks responsible for Conduit here in Utah, if there is going to be a VAS game going. So far no response, but if they havent had any Volunteers to run one, I spose I'll be Volunteering to run one. Any words of advice to...

Nice, I use MS word to make labels for my 1/2400 ships. and Flames of war bases is what i use for those. I see that with the 1/6000 you get 2 or 3 ships per pack on most of em?
