This timberclad gunboat is just a one-off piece for a Shiloh game. The ship comes from Thoroughbred Miniatures, and I liked it well enough that I am considering building some Civil War navies. The 1:1200 scale vessels have a small enough footprint that you could play naval games in scale! At 4.4 feet to the mile, most engagements would be doable on a standard table.
Very interesting looking ship, Scott. I like the water effects too. I agree 1/1200th us a nice scale for naval gaming. Inspiring stuff.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Dean! Yes, the 1:1200 stuff is nice. You can still identify the vessels at a glance.
DeleteGood water effects on the base. They really show off the model.
ReplyDeleteThanks, AJ! If I stick with it, I'll probably try to find a way to texture the base better. That's just paint on the wood on this one.
DeleteI'm hoping Thoroughbred expands their 1/1200 offerings to match their 1/600 line-up.
ReplyDeleteThey are getting there. I do like their stuff.
DeleteVery nice. I definitely recommend ACW naval as a new gaming venture.
ReplyDeleteThanks, David. It would be fun. There just aren't a lot of big actions. I have always wanted to try the Battle of Memphis.
