For some unknown reason a batch of my photos used on the blog have appeared in a separate album rather than the main one. The pictures relate to posts from 2012 although some of the pictures are older than the blog itself, being of a 2005 vintage. I do remember having to cull some pictures from my earlier blog posts as I was close to using up my Google limit - which of course they increased shortly after I had done so! I digress though, and so without further ado....
Turkish Dirigibles for use with the VSF rules called Aeronef. These and the rest of the pictures of similar types were a small selection of the scratch built air fleets I made from assorted plastic bombs, scrap sprue and other odds and ends.
Small Greek Dirigibles....
....and some larger types.
Some of the Bulgarians
A converted Revell model of the Hindenburg in Turkish livery. This model was a carrier and you can see the launch rails beside each funnel.
The Aeronef collection, circa 2005, has long since moved on - Steve Blease of Wessex Games now owns them I believe - but I remember they were a lot of fun to build and use. They would be easy enough to replicate and indeed, I have squirreled away some bits and pieces for just that purpose.
A mock up predreadnought from 2012....
....and another one. Neither were finished but seeing them again has given me a few ideas (like I need some more!)
A detail taken from a game in 2012 using my original, first edition ACW models, again, long gone although they did reappear on eBay when the buyer sold them!
An overview of the game itself - block armies and scratch built warships, a winning combination and one I must revisit at some point!
The magnificent seven City class casemate ironclad gunboats - I only have three in the current setup.
It was a pleasant surprise coming across this lot again and it has made me think about some great games from days gone by and the early years of my blog - and before!
