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.

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

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.

I've started a series of short videos to go along with this Project.








The link above will take you to the first video which deals with the start of my Bismark build, I plan to do Kit Reviews, Builds, Tutorials, ship histories and maybe even some game play when I get going.

Another couple of ships have been completed and commissioned into the Yarkshire Navy this week.

A pair of O Class Destroyers, HMS Onslow (G17) and HMS Obedient (G48) one fitted with the standard 4.7" Guns the other with QF 4".

Played around a bit more with the weathering on these without trying to over do it, every day is a school day lol

2 German Destroyers and the Bismark are currently under construction.

These are great, and I appreciate that you did not get too deep into detailing/rigging etc as it would not really suit the project.

The foam and such on the waves is particularly good! Makes it seem like a cold Atlantic crossing.
