The MDF bits and pieces are largely hull templates that were not quite right for one reason or another so have not been used for the ACW stuff. A lot of it would be perfectly serviceable for aerial gunboats and Martian Cloudships and I even have some ideas for Cavorite ‘powered’ spaceships…..<br /><br />Then of course there are the ground ships….<br /><br />Methinks Warbases are going to be busy!<br /><br />It has taken me around 40 odd years to get to the stage where planning ahead seems like a better idea than taking things on the fly!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DC<br />David Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-53111961824964960912021-06-16T13:52:20.118+01:002021-06-16T13:52:20.118+01:00Well this certainly looks like an interesting dive...Well this certainly looks like an interesting diversion David…<br />And you are planning ahead… I must try that sometime…<br /><br />Your various bits and pieces should make for some interesting VSF ships…<br /><br />All the best.

Rather than slavishly following someone else’s ideas I would prefer to do my own thing - which it pretty much a mash up of a number of ideas!<br /><br />The key thing is that a small force of historical redcoats can be used either way - in my case against the Zulus and then the Red Martians! The VSF angle is very much a project within a project and in any event nothing will happen until the ACW is finished and that includes the figures.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-56306507489900390842021-06-15T17:12:02.939+01:002021-06-15T17:12:02.939+01:00I'm sure we've all been tempted by this at...I'm sure we've all been tempted by this at some point David. Way back when there was some dabbling with FWC to do this sort of game, but nothing ever came of it. Add in some 'Invasion Literature' period stuff as well as I think it could be loads of fun.Steve J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12143308117853983963noreply@blogger.com
