Here's a few pics of my Aeronef force if anyone is interested... (can't fit many 28mm figures on them though!)

My intention remains for them to meet half (okay, not even close) way in 15mm...

LOVELY work, though the bases, while striking, would have to allow a slip cover. My last 'nef action was over water. ;->=

You DID notice, people ARE interested, right?

Cheers for the comments!

I'm getting ready to put a game on for the local club but making a couple of rules changes to keep things interesting!

I love the other 28mm scratch built work on here though, very inspiring!

NickH : Love the conversions, especially the flattop. However, the bases are interesting what game are they for and how do they work?

Hi Ssendam, the bases are for Full Neff, the Mid Anglia Wargamers rules for VSF aerial battleships. These rules were originally derived from GZG's Full Thrust and incorporate altitude as well as a complete ship design system. The dials on the bases are used to indicate altitude.

You read a bit more about it in this thread http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=27491

Rampana class wingcraft tender, an escort carrier, or not…


I suggest we aught to think of these flat tops more like amphibious assault ships, carrying the equivalent of landing craft and helicopters.

These are a great idea for basing.  The camo scheme fits the period, visually at least, while making the bases less obtrusive.  Well done.  An idea that I will rip-off. 
This is my boomstick!

Thanks for the link, lovely setup.

Sometimes I wonder if superb show games like that frighten off people new to the hobby…
It can be a bit intimidating, but then the wargaming eye-candy books sell well.

Check out the aeronef battle on the "Yours in a whire wine sauce" website.

I think it'll convert anyone who is not into nefs into a fan.  :o

Didn't see it in person but looks an absolute cracker of a game  :-*
