Die Guppys des Untergangs as opposed to Die Luftpanzerschiffe Flotille

So, first of the new (quite old models from the lead mountain) German fleet fo Aeronef/Imperial Skies/Iron Stars etc. It was going to be 'Die Luftpanzerschiffe Flotille' but my wife took one look and said they should be in our aquarium, hence 'Die Guppys des Untergangs' instead. The guppies of doom, sheesh......



Heavy cruiser group with lots of escorts.


Heavy and Light Cruisers.


Monitors, look nasty if you cross them!


Frigates and destroyers screening.

Battlecruisers and Battleships on the bench now with lots of new models to add - escorts, torpedo ships and many dirigibles!

British Aeronefs

Some benefits to Lockdown, am still working but the times I'd normally be on breaks etc. ca be quite productive and Easter indoors has got these shelf queens finished - have had them for years to add to Land Ironclads but never got round to finishing them (OK, I had done the base attachments after grey primer was all and they sat for a decade or so!).


Battle fleet.

The heavies.


Carrier group. Need to base the fighters.


Destroyers.


Couple of battlecruisers.


Three battleships.


Escort group close up.


Carrier in detail - deck lifts are nice and crisp.


Line of battle incoming.

Next task is the Germans - again an older fleet than the new stuff but I've got an order on the way with lots of the new resin blimps and some AA destroyers. As for fighters - I have plenty of Dystopian wars bases I can use for now and seem to have lost the lead ones so I'll have to get some on order.
