Nope, oddly enough the platform makes perfect sense. I am going to cry shenanigans on idea theft though

(besides, mine are prettier

)

It'd be easier to back up if he weren't so prolific! I want a laser!

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!

Cheers
Fuzzy.

Thank you

The railings are left off for ease of gameplay and a battle report will be forthcoming...

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
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

Not a civil war as I just bought the Foundry Imperial Chinese Army offer and I'm getting some Copplestone Russians

Yeah, the mast at front, I might just move it to the upper deck but I was trying to keep a similar profile to the other ones.

Mine doesn't have a balloon

Thanks again chaps, more to come this weekend and something rather special next week

cheers

Its just not fair!

All I've managed this month is a bit of viaduct.

Something special eh? Tease us further.

After Mr Bibbly's recent output "something special" is a very intriguing prospect

OSHIROmodels · « **Reply #186 on:** 12 June 2011, 08:33:51 AM »

Well, something special didn't happen obviously, but never mind

For you perusal today I have some sample shots of a Martian canal (or part thereof). The water looks better in real life and there is enough of a hint of the walls and canal bed underneath.

The water will be removable so you can have a dry canal (for the dry season of course

)

I've also done a sample of some Martian city walls but it's not good enough to post (and it's not in photobucket either

) but it will be soon I hope.

cheers

Lovely! The removeable water is a great idea. You could have mini-submarines or beasties sneaking about under the surface

Svennn · « **Reply #188 on:** 12 June 2011, 08:54:52 AM »

Looks great but its not a very long canal is it

Dewbakuk · « **Reply #189 on:** 12 June 2011, 09:08:35 AM »

Very nice, looks like my subs might get used elsewhere too

gamer Mac · « **Reply #190 on:** 12 June 2011, 09:41:01 AM »

Very nice idea.

Are the finished sections going to be longer?
I think it would look a bit strange with a join every 6'

I was thinking the same thing. But then again I've never been to Mars.

OSHIROmodels · « **Reply #192 on:** 12 June 2011, 01:15:30 PM »

Thanks chaps

It is just a sample of what the effect will be like, the final versions will be 2' long and built into gaming boards.

The sides of it are 2" high to be the same as a gaming board.

cheers

Missed this till now somehow. Seriously cool.

Thunderchicken · « **Reply #194 on:** 12 June 2011, 06:30:00 PM »

Oh very nice, as GM said I like the removable water bit.

Before we know it you'll be building something to sail/steam along the canal.....
