Sometimes madness strikes in the strangest of ways and I certainly hadn't planned a foray into a scale and period that needs a huge warehouse to play but Yarkshire Gamer has never been known for the smaller things in gaming.

I've done a blog post (link above) to discuss the plans for the Project and show off the first completed ship I've done. I think this is one of the best pieces I've done in a long time, possibly ever.

Why not join me on this latest journey.

Great article, looking forward to seeing more.  I would not have thought of comparing across scales but there are a lot more offerings in 1/700 than I realized, and some of the GHQ metals do have a surprising amount of pieces so the assembly was probably a lot easier on the plastics.

As far as the rule, just have these at the far end of the room, they should look the same size.

A quick update on the Project with a second completed British Destroyer and a couple of German ships on the slipways.

Looking great! I have collected a few 1/700 kits myself with the idea of doing some thing similar someday for convention spectacle games :)

As I put the latest Project together I thought I would do a thread for the Project so drop by regularly for new updates.

The latest ship is the German Destroyer Z32 and my first attempt at masking tape.
