Thanks to some diligent searching (and a bit of luck!), I have managed to acquire three more 'cartoon' warships manufactured by Meng. They are the USS Lexington ...
... and two copies of the Scharnhorst.
The Lexington only cost me £5.00 (plus postage and packing) from eBay and the Scharnhorsts were bought online from a specialist model retailer.
I am sure that I can find a wargaming use for them. The Scharnhorsts could certainly feature in coastal operations during my Eastern Front/Great Patriotic War campaign, and the Lexington cries out to be used in a Pacific War campaign.

Bob,
ReplyDeleteTry Kingkit. I see they have a decent range including some you don't have and an intriguing dock set.

Neil Patterson (Neil),
DeleteThanks for the link. They certainly seem to have the complete range in stick.
All the best,

This is certainly looking like a useful and increasingly viable project.
ReplyDeleteRob Young,
DeleteThese models have distinct possibilities … and making them makes a nice change from other projects.
All the best,
Bob
Hi Bob,
ReplyDeleteThey certainly look very ‘Cordery-esque’ and I am rather taken with the Scharnhorst. I detect a cunning plan in the offing….
All the best,

David Crook,
DeleteCheers! Thanks for the compliment.
There certainly is a plan … but I wouldn’t describe it as cunning.
All the best,
Bob
Bob -
ReplyDeleteIs the 'other' Scharnhorst likely to become Gneisenau...?
There are splendid looking models, that's for sure!
Cheers,

DeleteI’ve had a look at the kit, and as far as I can see, it could easily be modified to look like the Gneisenau. The main difference would seem to be the position of the mainmast.
These are splendid little models for the sort of wargaming that I do, but would not appeal to the purist.
All the best,
Bob
They sure appeal to the cartoonist in me, Bob!
DeleteArchduke Piccolo,
DeleteAnd to me!
All the best,
Bob
Love them!
ReplyDeleteGeordie an Exile FoG,
DeleteI only wish that the range was bigger.
All the best,
Bob
