Ive gone a little boat mad ATM. Im mass producing boats, both steam powered and sailing varieties in an attempt to make a 4X4 covered nearly in boats for fierce vessel to vessel fighting.Or the boats will fight on an 8X4 for larger ocean battles.

Wow! Very nice work! I especially like the wood. However, Showcase is only for complete models

Looks cool

I like it.

Sorry i forgot to select the correct place for these.

It's really good looking Reminds me of that one level in Dynasty Warriors 3 with the ship-to-ship fight on burning boats (in a good way)

BOATS! now in the approprate forum!

Excellent, I've always loved the idea of naval vessels & cargo ships in skirmish games. Quite a many years ago, myself & some other fine gamers online sat down & wrote up naval ruleset & a setting in whatever land the lizardmen live in for Mordheim including plotting maps.

Back then I built... a brettonian cutter, an empire steam galleon, a dark elf raider, an arabic ship & a skaven warp steamer & a few dugout canoes for the skinks. Was quite fun.

Those look great. Its an awesome idea.

I recognized that dock table from a while back. Glad to see you're taking things a step further. A modular ship-to-ship skirmish table sounds like a blast!

Really nice idea and execution. I'd love to see some rules for this kind of play. You'd have not only a battlegroup on a boat doing their thing, but the boat itself would be able to strategically position itself. It'd add a new layer to the rules that would make things very interesting.

would lobe to see some scale shots...for now i can´t figure out how big they truly are...but they look very good!

I like them a lot but (putting mod hat on) please take a second to rotate them correctly before uploading

Sorry about that one KK, i was excited about posting them. Ill get a scale shot in a little while

The smoke stack is crooked in that one photo cause it's not seated all the way

Scale shots incoming!

Nice stuff. Ive always thought some on ship combat would be fun.

now that is what i call delivering whats asked for!!!

thank you very much fire! and now with scale put in the right dimension...i am even more stunned!

No problem, i will try to ensure i have a suitable scale model for future pictures. The White ship above is probably the 3rd largest...so far

will you add rivets (sorry if that is an obvious question) the current build of this one is a bit detailfree atm but i am sure you have a good design in your mind already
