Hi All, Well at long last I have managed to upload some photos of the much vaunted Ottoman Dirigibles. I am very sorry that I have managed to upload them as 4...
The Turkish design idea, plus my own scratch builds (or to be more precise the illustrations I'm basing them on). Have led me to muse on the design history of...
Hi Martin, Many thanks for your kind words - they were a real labour of love and there is more to come. I am also going to make some Greeks and Bugarians for a...
It would be great if you posted a tutorial on your scratch-modelling techniques. I've been making attempts using Femo, wire, & flattened toothpaste tubes....
Hi Sven, These were simplicity itself to make - all I used was some plastic aircraft model bombs with bits and pieces added from the spares box.These were...
Thank you for the words of encouragement. I’ve ordered some of the Brigade Models hex stands since my wire bases need viagra or something. I will take some...
If the standard scale for Aeronef is 1/1200 then it appears to me that a double dig with a flight deck (probably on top) of 5-1/4” (130mm) length by 2/3”...
Hi Sven, Dirigibles are really easy so you should have no problems with them. The only thing to watch out for is where you position the flying base. Make sure...
Hi Sven, 1/1200th it is - my only reservation about fully decked carriers is the models size. I prefer to think of the models more as vessels with an air...
Hi All, Does anyone know of a hexagonal flying base bigger than 1 inch across the flat edges? A 1 1/2 or even 2 inch version would be a great help - especially...
... Some sort of rule to allow the recovery of aircraft seems an obvious addition to Aeronef, even if it takes up lots of points, involves a roll to see if...
1 - if you say it is, then it is. We already make several 'Nef carriers with flat tops just because I think flying aircraft carriers look so cool ! 2 - we're...
... There are two things I want to do for bases - the first is a larger metal hex base (probably 2" across). The second idea I have is to make a metal 'plug'...
I was cognizant of the USS Akron arrangement, but it didn't seem to fit in with the Aeronef world, even though it's really cool!!! Considering some of the...
Hi Tony, You are right about the 'cool' factor - they do look really nice. I just cant see myself with any for the reasons I mentioned earlier. They just dont...
... The way I imagine the Aeronef world is heavily influenced by the 1908 HG Wells novel "The War in the Air", and that means airships with aeroplanes hanging...
Despite the quote in the second print run it wasn't as I didn't get my hands on War in the Air 'til after Aeronef was out. Steve ... [Non-text portions of this...
Mr. Blease, what is your take on a large, vulnerable, poorly armed, slow, not very maneuverable, aircraft carrier within the Aeronef world? Is the limitation...
Hi Sven Call me Steve please, "Mr Blease" is much too formal... Matt might be better tasked to answer the question, but to be honest the concept didn't really...
Thank you very much for your answer Steve. It is kind of along the idea I was toying casually with in my mind. But I was seeing the 2cp (launch only) or 4 cp...
As a rough basic concept I think the cost of carrying each recoverable plane has to match that of one GD at least in CP terms otherwise planes would be...
I was thinking that even with 6 planes (squadron max) on a carrier that would be 6planes + 8 deck for a total of 14 points & thus a plane would be 2.33 points...
The CP's are not a points system for balancing things, more just a trade off system to ensure we don't just have ultra-fast, gun heavy, well armoured...
