      A friend of mine has asked me to build him a light cruiser in 1/200 to go with his Blood Red Skies game. Against my better judgement I am giving it a try.  Foam core with a paper shell attached over it. My buddy is getting the guns 3-D printed. https://antonswargame.blogspot.com/2020/07/i-swear-its-not-my-fault.html (https://antonswargame.blogspot.com/2020/07/i-swear-its-not-my-fault.html)

I had a little free time so I got her ready for her guns  https://antonswargame.blogspot.com/2020/07/off-ways-and-awaiting-trialsfurther.html (https://antonswargame.blogspot.com/2020/07/off-ways-and-awaiting-trialsfurther.html)

That is coming along nicely! Looking forward to seeing the guns, searchlights, and other naval clutter bring her to life!

Adding searchlights, Carley Floats and lifeboats to the model to use up some of that desk-space  https://antonswargame.blogspot.com/2020/08/details-details.html (https://antonswargame.blogspot.com/2020/08/details-details.html)

Is that "desk space" or "deck space"? <g>

Great model, with a minimum of material. I don't game at that scale (or period) but your techniques are spot on for this type of model. I love how you made the searchlights and the floats. Clever improvisation!

I got bored waiting for the gun mounts to be delivered, so I made my own out of balsa and wire, not exactly detailed but it looks better than empty deck
