After my two games with Cardboard Standees, Simon gave me a present of some model MTBs for me to construct. Much appreciated as I was undecided about my next step, particularly scale.
This is the first one made up.
Very fiddly, but I was happy with the results.
1/700th.
Four S-Boats
ID is discreet but yet to be tested.
Four Vospers
The box art
Did I say fiddly?
These are two PT boats still on their sprues.
The box contained four of each type.
Luckily, I did the S-Boat first as it had the fewest pieces. If I'd tackled the Vosper first or heaven forbid the PT Boats, I might not have continued.
Next task is to schedule another game.
Nice! 1/700 is a good scale, maybe the perfect balance between somewhat detailed models and playability (1/300 looks grand, but I wouldn't have the space for it, especially for larger scenarios, and it gets expensive quickly).
ReplyDeleteYes, getting the scale right is essential. For this game, and also a night fighter boardgame with just tiny chits for the planes, I've started making up sheets that have the boat or planes images (sourced from the Internet which is easy enough) along with their game characteristics.
