I wonder if the Tossian Empire had any units similar to the Young Guard Flanquer Chasseurs, Conscrit (Consript) Grenadiers, Votiguers or Trialleurs, with...
Hi, That's very good and interesting. I've read most of your posting of this, but not from the begginning since I wasn't here, or there or where-ever. Chris ...

I have been reading American and British Aircraft Carrier Development 1919-1941 by Hone, Freidman and Mandeles. It is a worthwhile read and has caused me to do...

<snip>Level bombing might have been far more effective from a flyer, since they can carry a truely grand bomb load, or even a Grand Slam or TWO. Also they...
... I'll disagree with this statement. Liftwood flyers "as built" are not designed to dive bomb. However that doesn't mean you cannot build one that can dive...
I've always assumed that space 1889 manufacturing methods remain roughly comparable to those available historically. Which would pretty much rule out dive...
In my opinion all the "modern" Methods of bombing will never be developed in a S1889 universe, since there is no need for them. The only reason for the...
So a ship like the Russian Novgorod, which was a wallowing failure as a gun platform at sea, would make for a dandy aerial bombing platform. I can't remember...

I have recently built a fleet of 1/300th scale Space 1889 model ships/hullcutter (see photos) and want to use Aeronef rules (as I have them to hand). I have...
I have heard these are available, but after several exhaustive searches with both Google and Yahoo, all I get are broken links, reviews, or somply people...
I have just up loaded two new photos to the file Tony 1/300th models. They are the finished Fenian Ram and a new photo of HMS Hornet and HMS Warlord. Regards ...

Thank you for the comments and they really are apreciated especially from you as your paper models have been the inspiration for the Hull cutters, thank you...
Funny, I had the same idea for the 1/600th scale paper models; How small can I make things with 110lb paperstock and still be able to fold and what textural...
Your models are great and interesting!! The wide variety of Hullcutters is simply terrific, and a design could be associated with each Martian nation. Plus, I...

Hi all, I'm close to finishing my 'Martian Fortress Villa' project (Space 1889 pg181) and another paper-modeler has started creating ships and is working on a...
That brings up a good question, Martian fortifications should reflect that they can be attacked from overhead. Not to pick nits Squirmydad, but the villa is...
