1/2400th Russio-Turkish War

[Mr.Marx]

Hey All.

Ive got the starting peices of my little [pun] 1/24th Russo-Turkish War naval project done now. Im rather happy with them so I thought Id share.



The 'SF' part of this 'VSF' project is well on its way, but will be less 'out there' than lot of what ends up on this board. Think Scientific Romance rather than Steampunk. I have some Russian Airships and some Ottoman Balloons on the table waiting for magnets.



Im just wondering what people think really.

Very nice pieces, though for me the thickness of the bases seems to dominate the models.

I know what you mean. I 'umed and ahhed' about commiting to baseing them like that for a good long time before doing it. They do look really domminating, but they make acctualy gaming far, far easyer and more practical. You can pick them up and move them about by the base rather than fubble about, smash off sails and repetedly drop the blasted things every time they get played with.

Do they look that bad?

I think they're yummy, as is. Extending the 'sea', even just painting to match, to the edge of the bases might tie them together better, but you'd want matching table cloth.

Im going to buy a bit of cloth the exact same colour as the dark blue larger base. I experimented with it, and you can harly make out the outline of the larger base at gaming distance when its on a surface of the same colour.

I would simply use water effect "gel".

Just take a modelling tool and with upward movements you create the wave look. After some drying time you can undercoat and paint it. It looks good and hides the base under the miniature.
