This weekend sees the latest Aeronef weekend at Stoke Rochford Hall<\/a> in Lincolnshire. The theme this time is a refight of Jutland using Aeronef – we’re hoping to have all of the capital ships that were present at the real action present on the table, although not necessarily all of the cruisers and escorts !<\/p>\n

\"SRP-2\"<\/p>\n

We two Brigadiers are both contributing to the fleets – Phil is painting up four Victoria<\/em>-class battleships<\/a> which will play the part of the four heavy Queen Elizabeth<\/em>-class vessels of the 5th Battle Squadron. For my part, I’ll be taking on the role of Rear Admiral Behncke, commanding the four Koenig<\/em>-class battleships of the 5th Division, 3rd Battle Squadron.<\/p>\n

\"SRP-3\"<\/p>\n

To this end I’ve been super-detailing and painting my four ships plus some escorts. I’m going to write up a full account of the process later, but this week I’m too busy finishing them off ! In the meantime, I thought I’d share a few photos of the almost complete ships. They’re based on our Prussian Koenigsberg<\/em><\/a> and Manteuffel<\/em><\/a> class models, two of each, and the escorts are also Prussian. I’ve replaced all of the turrets and the larger funnels with bespoke 3D-printed pieces, and added fighting masts, searchlights and ship’s boats. There is some tidying-up work to be done with the painting and they still need decals. I’m also hoping to rig them although this depends on how long I have – there is still normal day-to-day Brigade work to be done as well this week.<\/p>\n
