A great example of the whole being greater than the parts.  Wonderful builds!

Beautifully done - they look amazing.

I love the simple color scheme.

Would love to see some crew crawling over them though.  ;)

The largest one looks a little precarious on it's stand - it's obviously stable though?

And the arms race continues. I defy anyone to catch me now  ;D  ;D

For tonight's perusal we have an armoured gunboat and defense platform  :)

The gunboat still has the details, aerofoils, engine block and hull to go on (this weekend).



And a comparison shot next to the smaller neff


Then we have the defense platform. Lots still to do, the three turrets will be armed with heavy machine guns (the reason being to be explained at a later date  ;) ), lots of planking to do and I'm still a bit undecided about the hull. There will be a hatch on the top and some engine 'bits' on the lower deck.

Probably not to clear at the moment but all will be revealed  :)

not too clear? maybe, maybe not.. if it's like what I'm imagining it will be, it's blinkingly brilliant!  :o

The gunboats going to be, as a certain cereal tiger would say, ggggrreeeaaatt!!

I don't know where your going with the platform though. ??? Is it a floating thing like the neffs? Or is it a tower? Or something else?

The platform floats, it'll be a lot clearer when the decking and walls are on  :)

Magnificent stuff as always ;D

Looking great  :-* :-* :-* :-*
Are you going to have a Japanese civil war with these because I don't think anyone else could compete with the amount of Nefs :o
Reaaly like the idea of the floating platform :-* :-* :-*
One thing about the gunboat though. The flag staff at the front wouldn't last very long :o

These nefs are truly stunning :)

If I was being picky,  ;) I would suggest they nefs need some railing to stop the plucky Japanese falling overboard!

I can't wait to see a fleet action battle report!

Crikey, sir. I'm looking forward to today. Up diddly up, down diddly
down, whoops, poop, twiddly dee - decent scrap with the fiendish Red
Baron - bit of a jolly old crash landing behind enemy lines - capture,
torture, escape, and then back home in time for tea and medals.
