Dawn of Iron Ships

Bought Dawn of Iron rules for ACW naval warfare quite a while ago so thought I would pick a battle that would give me a nice mix of ships , I chose 1/1200 scale so i could play on a 3x3 table . So I went for the battle of Hampton Roads which gave me a mix of iron clads steam and sailing ships ,with being new to this scale and this type of warfare I ordered ships from 2 manufacuters Big Jims Prints and Langton miniatures . Both orders arrived really quickly and both are nice quality I think Langtons win out on quality and also their ships come in little packs with all items in seperate packs inside the main pack included is a small card with the ships name and what parts should included ,they come in either resin or white metal and masts and saiks are in metal . The Big Jims ones are all 3D printed resin they come in zip bags with no I.D of which vessel is which and the masts are still attached to the printing supports so in such a small scale finding out which ship is which and seperating the masts will be difficult for me so even though Big Jim is cheaper on most models I think any more purchases for me will be Langton . I will most more pictures as I progress the Pics below show an example from each company as they come out of the bags .

decided that while we are away during the summer months to relax with a bit of model making , a couple for wargaming purposes but mainly just display models . I started by thinking of a theme for the display kits which was RAF jet fighters as you can see from the picture that soon disapered

I ordered a Hellboy resin figure from Solarmodelsnprops on Etsy and there was a mix up with my delivery which was quickly sorted out and the owner put in a free Hellboy Bust as a thank you for waiting . I have not done the item I ordered as yet but I have done the free Bust ,I can only compliment the quality of the products and the customer service from Solarmodelsnprops .

Israeli Aircraft for Check your 6 Jet Age

Finally finished my Israeli AirForce models ,all 1/600 from tumbling dice with Flight Deck decals . I based my purchses on the available scenarios in the main rule book ,the Star and Pyramid campaign book and the scenarios availble on the face book group plus afew extras due to numbers in the packs I purchased how ever after reading the rules I will probably only flying afew models at atime some of the scenarios would take a long time to play due to the large number of air craft . These cover the mid sixties to the mid Eighties ,I will probably eventually cover the earlier war of independence at some point as well . I haev almost completed the Egyption stuff and then will get some Iraqi , Iranian ,Jordanian and Syrian ones as well . Pictures of the Israeli Air Craft sat in the magnatised box hopefully get some of them in action soon .Some of the Egytion stuff sneaked in there as well
