@Azimuth yeah, I understand the challenge, I’m a graphic designer and I was playing around with a circular map design when I stumbled upon yours. I still might finish my design as I was incorporating some map changes I found interesting. But so far I think I’ll need some blow up boxes or something to make it work at a reasonable size.

Yes, I can’t wait to see them. :-D

Cyanight, where did you get that national production ipc chart that is over 100?
The biggest I have is 72 from the Anniversary Game and is it metal, I’m assuming?

I got it off this site.

Great job on the Japanese Cyanight! I like how you have chosen all the nagato battleships but just have the ONE Yamato ! I have done the same in my game ! Makes that one piece extra special!
-
Thanks guys. It really means a lot.
JWO - yea, I like to single out the capital ships. Did the same thing with the King George for UK
-
I added 3 carriers to the IJN and USN. I felt having only 8 was limiting to the game, lol.
So now each side has 11, probably will make more but I think this is sufficient for now.
Shinano(Grey, the actual carrier the sculpt is made for.), Ryujo(small) and Shokaku(wood).
Independence(22), Casablanca(19) and Hancock(55).
-
Those Japanese carriers look so crisp! I like the slight sheen that they give off.
-
Cyanight, that is some fantastic work there, buddy! :-D
-
love these! so professional looking! I had a pacific game were my opponent did a complete naval strategy and blockade with his IJN forces! he must of had like 10 carriers on the board! wipped out my complete painted stock and had too use chips which does not look good for ships!
-
Thanks a lot guys!
That’s funny you mention that JWO. Same thing happened to me in a TripleA game online but made me think maybe 8 CV’s per nation is not enough. I’m at 11 each now but I may add others. I wish HBG or Shapeways had other sculpts for US CV’s. I got an Essex from Shapeways but I would love to get some more mini carriers like HBG’s Ryujo sculpt.
-
Cyanight, where did you get your Australian Flag decal for your carriers, and those other to roundel decals, if you don’t mind me asking? :-)
Thanks,
John

I know what you mean Cyanight, I’ve been trolling through shapeways aswell but everything carrier and ship wise seems way outta scale! I really want too find a Lexington class carrier. They just have such a distinct visual difference to the other us carrier classes. I tried to custom build one out of the OOB wasp class…. It’s alright but really would like a mould! So many carrier classes for the Japanese they look great swarming the pacific sea zones… We just need the other naval heavyweight Uncle Sam too get some carrier love too!

John I got the Australian roundels and flags from Ebay. The guy who makes them is from England and his name is Mehusla.
Here is the link the item. The flags are on the same decal sheet with the Australian roundels.

Exactly JWO… I bought a bunch of carriers off of Shapeways but they are too small. I tried to contact the builder to see if he could make them in 1/4000 scale or maybe 1/3500. 1/4800 is too small IMO. I wanted to have the Ranger since its a unique mold and others like the Lexington. Just too small. Then if you buy from Panzershiffe they are all 1/2400 and way to big.
