'Water Feature' from AlanD: Water Feature on the Starboard Bow!


Your Elven grottos and  babbling brooks are all very well, but few things say 'water feature' more than a big, ugly German minesweeper. 



Cruel Seas is certainly one of the games du jour at the moment, and we have been enjoying some maritime skirmishes at our games club. To add to the mayhem, I've painted up a Kriegsmarine M-Class minesweeper and four S-Booten for this week, all from Warlord Games. The S Boats bear the livery of the 2 Schnell-Boot Flotilla, although the ace symbols I painted on are too big.







The minesweeper's wake is modelled from greenstuff, and all the boats have extra crew figures either from Warlord, or ones that were very kindly printed and sent to me by Stewart - thanks mate! All up there are 37 figures. Mac from our club has designed some great little stands to show the S-Boots at speed, and I will be making some of those in due course.

I'll leave the scoring on this to Curt (sorry!) as I know he is thinking about how to score some of the larger ship models.

Enjoy!

    Those are some real beauties, Alan. I needs me one of those minesweepers methinks...

    Great work. The 'big ships' are what would get me into this game.

    I've really been enjoying the cruel seas sub missions and these are a treat, Dux!
    The crew really liven up the ships and the weathering is ace!
