... Hey Jim, I love reading books on the political history of this period. Where did you get this info from? It sounds like a cool read. Thanks, -Kevin...

This will take a while and I could not fairly commit to any schedule at this point. The first steps in planning will be to calculate the all important How...
So, are the chinese ships "on-deck" as it were. I've been looking around at the available lines, and the availability of certain ships has been a significant...
... Yes, although their newer cruisers didn't show up until 1904. Before that I think their main ability to close the straits would have been with the forts...
... Yes, the Chinese ships are coming very soon. I had hoped to get them out by March, but they are running a little late. I currently have completed masters...
destroyers hold the current record at 15 months, but that's because one of our EX-vendors lost the first set of masters!! (Emphasis on EX). Jim (Reply): I...
That's fine Jim. It gives me something to look forward to. :) I still need to round out my WWI era fleets anyway (Americans and Japanese mostly). -Kevin ... ...
Here is a short list of reading for the period that will help out with background info: The Naval Policy of Austria-Hungary, 1867-1918, by Lawrence Sondhaus By...
Hello my name Is Michael and i joined this group recently one of my passion's is the Russo Japanese War period. I've got example's of Russian and Japanese...
Hi Michael, ... Thank you Michael. Yes, both Variag and Boyarin will be done, also Korietz and others like Svietlana and merchant cruisers. There is currently...
I',m new to this list and have come in late on this discussion but I understand that new 1/2400 WW I vessels are in the pipeline. Are any available already and...
Hi Ric, The whole line is 1/3000 and is currently composed entirely of Pre- Dreadnoughts. I have considered doing 1/3000 WWI ships and actually created some...
Many thanks, Jim. A friend and I have been collecting and scratch building in 1/2400 for many years and have a combined collection of over 1000 ships in that...
I've made some additions and adjustments to the upcoming batch of Chinese ships. Included in that batch will also be a release of Japanese cruisers and light...
I have stumbled onto a page at the US Library of Congress that is dedicated to the restoration of motion picture footage shot by the Edison Manufacturing...
I posted this to Predred but thought it would bear copying here: I have a question for the users of larger naval gaming scales: when someone quotes "1/1200" do...
... I am slightly astounded by this question, I must admit. Surely every naval gamer in the US knows about Alnavco, the distributor for the Superior line of...
... Sorry Brooks, I should have emphasized that I was talking about predreadnought era vessels. I know about Superior, but as far as I know they don't make...
... OK, that makes more sense. I agree, Superior has few or no pre-dreadnought era vessels in 1/1200. THe phrasing seemed to imply all naval games, though,...
HAI and NAVIS have a fair selection of 1:1250 pre-dreadnoughts, including smaller gunboats and support vessels. I would not characterize the offerings from...
Hi Rich, Thanks for the URL. I had looked over the HAI selection amongst others but never saw too much in the way of detroyers, although there were a fair...
I have just posted ship values for the German and Austrian fleets to the Quickfire beta page at WTJ. More will be added in the coming weeks, with the next ones...
The WTJ Naval pre-dreadnought destroyers just came out of the foundry and have been posted to Game Shop 1. Sorry for the delay, but I put off the release by a...
I just finished posting a few photos of the new destroyers in the More Information links associated with each boat. I only had time to photograph five of them,...
Jim: Thanks very much for letting me know. They look excellent even though they must be very small. They're certainly not just 'slivers of lead' ! ;-) I'll...
Just read this BBC article about a Fusiler they found near Ypres, still wrapped in his gas cape. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4588947.stm Also found this note...
