I thought that I would post these on here as I will be selling them soon and would like a record of them somewhere.
This is an Uncharted Seas first edition Iron Dwarves fleet with a few simple conversions to personalise it a little.







A squadron of Cruisers and two small Frigate squadrons.







Another Cruiser squadron with two more Frigate squadrons







A Battleship and two Submarines with submerged tokens







There are various conversions to the standard ships, with the larger ships getting lifeboats added and all ships carry flagpoles.
The two Scout Frigate squadrons, which consist of only two vessels, have received different turrets to differentiate them from each other.
Meanwhile the Battleship has an observation blimp moored on its upper deck along with lifeboats at the rear.

A few ships that never did get painted and added to the fleet.




Another Battleship (converted to have additional turrets) and a Flagship.
There is also a Dwarven Catamaran made from the hulls of two frigates.


Not the best photos ever, but I guess that they will do until I take them again.
I think that you can see the basics.

Man, the ships really are nice, but what totally freaks me out is how well you did the islands, especially the one one the far left with that foamy water around the coast.  :o

Effin' art, man! Highly inspiring, thanks for sharing.

Yes! Those islands are prime!

Blimey!
From you that is a serious compliment.
Thank you, sir.
I am honoured.

Thanks, Fram.
Much appreciated.





As it seems that the islands are more interesting, i took some pics showing them.

They are made from GW Monnscape craters.
Chopped up, the parts stuck to card and gaps filled with foam before coating the foam with plaster filler.




























And my favourite shot of the bunch...




And for those of you who play Seas: Yes, you can get a frigate in that bay and out again.
Handy for those hit and run tactics on larger ships.
 ;)


The 'volcanoes' are simply hollowed out cones of foam, covered in more filler.
The 'smoke' is cotton wool.

Hope you like 'em.
 :D

The Fleet & their Ports of Call are BEAUTIFUL! GREAT WORK!
While parting with things you've lovingly labored on may be a sad prospect, you did have the chance to create/paint the pieces...& the extra $s is a nice consolation.
