Ray: I actually don't get much time to game. I have some friends who live a few hours a way that I used to game with (WW2, Lace wars, etc.), but it is rare...
I know its been said before but I have to send a big thanks to Dom of Dom's Decals. I sent him an email about the Tumbling Dice Falklands/Thud Ridge rules...
Hi Josh, Thanks for sharing your new photos with us. Your jets look very nice, and I enjoyed seeing them. If you get tired of making stands, the small GW...
I noticed Skytrex do 1/600 scale destoryers and other small vessels to use as bombing targets. What are they like in quality? And would it be better value to...
... vessels to ... it ... Qiute expensive, but with Airfix you get 4 DD, all different classes for £10, OK can convert the TRibal to JKL, and the H is...
I can't give an opinion on the Skytrex stuff but for individual ships (when not doing large scale naval-air games when I use 1/3000 ships) I tend to use any of...
Hi, They are of decent wargaming quality, and are serviceable craft, especially considering most are not available from other sources. They won't win any...
The pics of the ships on the Skytrex site,http://www.skytrex.com/, look very good from what I have seen. There are pics of all the individual ships that they...
Wow! Apparently they have been very busy posting pics on the site. That is very useful, since they were lacking last time I checked, in many cases. Thanks for...
You are most welcome Rob. Im glad to be of help LOL. It had been awhile since I had looked at the site and was surprised to find they had finally gotten around...
I just ordered the Airfix 1/600 Falklands Destroyer/Frigate set ($16). Plan to model one as a pre bomb/exocet ship and one as a post bomb/exocet ship (sinking,...
Hey Paul, Like others have said they are decent. If you are using them for targets and you can use 1/700 just as well. I actually got them to use with the ...
Somehow, I accidentally created a second folder of my pics, I will try and remedy that later. At any rate, I only painted two aircraft this weekend...I have...
Well, I have been flirting with East Front WW1 armies but I find I am returning to my Air Force (or was that Air Farce?) roots - I will look at air combat for...
Hi Glenn, I've been doing the same myself, but actually spending more time collecting/gathering the minis for this period than actually playing with them. I...
WWI is not really my cup o' tea but I have friends who think it's the bees knees :-) In general I find the 1/600 stuff just too small and fiddly, there's a big...
Finally got to http://navwar.co.uk/nav/default.asp?mmid=48 and "Oh my Lord, I am in WW1 Franco-Austrian-Italian heaven!" came to mind. Or words to that effect...
Chaps, Just to continue on this thread, I have stuck some photos of some of my 1/600th Skytrex stuff in the photos section in a folder entitled 1/600th Naval. ...
Quite a range huh? I don't have any 1/3000 WWI but I did pick up a bag or two of Swordfish - to decorate the decks of Ark Royal and illustrious. Way too small...
Thanks for everyones replies and advice. I just ordered a Jap destroyer in 1/600 to bomb. Cheers Paul ... targets ... with the ... Skytrex, ... items ... line...
Nick, I haven't seen these pics before. I am very impressed with the look of them, also helps that they're beautifully painted. I have a couple of the PT...
Hi all, Been looking over the Tumbling Dice range and am surprised there aren't any of the more common modern fighters - F18s, F16s & F15s come to mind. Anyone...
Bob, I use a pin vise as well as my Dremel. For the 1/600 scale though I'ld probably stay with the pin vise. 1st make a starter hole with a very sharp scribe...
No to the Dremel! Use a pin-vice (hand-held drill). I push the plane, belly up into a big blob of blu-tac first - helps keep it steady and protects againct ...
As Zippee mentioned, rare earth magnets are the only way to go, in my opinion. However, if you still want to drill them out, make a divit with an x- acto knife...
Yes, we have been clamoring for them here too. Send an e-mail to the manufacturer requesting expedited production. Not sure it will help, but probably couldn't...
I use dremel, pin vice and rare-earth magnets, so that everything is flush. Have a few Skyhawks with wing damage (Rapiers, or Dremels?), from the experience....
