 Another model for Coastal Warfare

Räumboote

Revenge Class Battleships

I've just finished the whole Revenge Class as they appeared in World War 2. Each ship (apart from Royal Oak) has a number of refits. The year of the refit is when it was completed. So 1941 means 1941 until the next refit. ie if the next refit is 1944 then 1941 covers 1942 and 1943.

All come on a raft that you cut away. This protects the base of the model in transit.

All available on the following bases. And as stl files here

Fireball XL5

 As a kid I loved watching Fireball XL5. This is my (work in progress) model. 

I based the design on these plans. From these I estimate the 'actual' length to be 125m. Scaled at 1:880 this makes the model 14cm long. Obviously being a 3D model I can resize it to other scales. I'm selling it for £16 + P&P (physical) and the stl for $7.99 at https://www.wargaming3d.com/product/fireball-spacecraft/

Actual printout

The holes are the vent holes to let the resin out (the print is hollow)

I'm also working on the 'sledge' that launches it.

My intention is to produce the 'sledge' in parts so a buyer can buy however many parts they want. 

• The cradle, 
• 12cm long (approx) lengths of the rail with stands
• The back stop
• The front end

USS Atlanta

 Latest addition

USS Atlanta

 The Coral Sea Project

I'm hoping to add ships for Coral Sea to my models.

First up are three of the carriers (well two to be honest).

IJN Shokaku and Zuikaku

Available in the following versions:

• 1941 (this is the Coral Sea version)
• 1942 (June)
• 1943
• 1944

To be honest the difference between these two is very minor (just a small walkway missing on Zuikahu).

USS Lexington (CV2)

This is the Lexington sunk in the battle.

Next up Yorktown.

H39

 I've just added a hypothetical German ship the H39 class of battleships that was part of the abandoned Z plan. 

As stated on the photo the name is pure guesswork and could be easily changed. I've left the Class name as H39 but I assume this would have also be changed to a Class name (if it had ever been built).

The aircraft is modelled coming out of the hanger. I assume 'Y' turrets guns would have had to be raised to their maximum to allow it to launch (looking at where the catapult is).

Fuso and Benson

The Japanese Battleship Fuso as she appeared in 1944.

These pictures show the model on a Deep base. Its also available on a Thin base with the name at the stern or a waterline version. The model (Deep base version) comes on a raft that you cut away and is hollow with 2mm thick walls.

Benson Class DD

These pictures show the model on a Deep base. Its also available on a Thin base with the name at the stern or a waterline version. The model (Deep base version) comes on a raft (not shown) that you cut away and is hollow with 2mm thick walls.
