As regular blog readers will already know, I own two 1:1200th-scale models of Brandenberg-class battleships.
As part of his First Blacklands War project, Archduke Piccolo built models of the Hayreddin Barbarossa and Turgut Reis. As can be seen from the following photographs, he captured the look of the design whilst still producing some excellent wargame models of the ships.

I do like the disgn of these ships and Ion's scratch built versions have a wonderful charm to them:). A project for me for the New year...?
ReplyDeleteSteve J.,
DeleteHe has a knack of making models that look like the ships they represent but are also elegant wargame pieces.
All the best,

BOB,
ReplyDeleteInteresting little models ION has designed- a lot of ship in a small place. How is your mobility going Bob? I seem to be getting slower with the walking - some days good - others not so. Cheers. KEV.

DeleteHe has a great knack for modelling ships in particular.
I am doing lots of walking with two sticks. I’m not very fast but my range and stamina are improving. I hope that yours does as well.
All the best,
Bob
