WWI Fleet Update


As mentioned in the previous post, I have made some good progress on my WWI naval project.  At left, is the current German High Seas Fleet, which consists of 5 Battleships, a Battlecruiser and 2 Light Cruisers. My initial try at basing is very basic for now - just black styrene plastic with a very basic sea background.  I will eventually magnetize the underside to help with storage.  The labels where made in Excel, which was extremely useful in sizing to match the bases.

The pride of the German Fleet is the Baden, with her 15 inch guns.  The remaining unfinished Germans ships include a Battlecruiser and some Destroyer Flotillas.



The Royal Navy consists of 5 Battleships, a Battlecruiser, and old Dreadnaught and an experimental aircraft carrier.  There's also a US Battleship thrown in for fun.



Here's a close up of the USS Pennsylvannia, sister ship to the Arizona.  It was a very powerful ship during WWi, mounting 12, 14 inch guns.  I have another unbuilt model so I can add in the Arizona.


Lastly, the pride of my Royal Navy Fleet, HMS Royal Oak.  Like the Baden, it also mounts 15 inch guns.  I also have a handful of Royal Navy ships to complete including some Cruisers and Destroyer Flotilla's.  I'm hoping to get a test game in with my son tonight to try out the models on the table top.
