Dystopian Wars FSA air fleet

To complement the FSA surface fleet, and to augment the two A-17 bombers in the starter pack, I added a Valley class airship and a Savannah class skyfortress.

 The Savannah class skyfortress, listing badly in this view.

 The A-17 bombers from the original fleet set.

For the authentic Victorian feel I've gone with lots of brass, copper, oily steel and gunmetal, as well as the red, white and blue patriotic colour scheme.

They had their first outing in their new livery recently against Pete's Chinese fleet, coming out with an honourable draw - those Chinese dreadnaughts are tough what with their jade armour and dragonbreath.

Thanks for looking.

Dystopian Wars FSA Fleet

Well, I managed to complete the FSA fleet starter pack with an additional dreadnaught and battleship, which represents the surface ships available to me.  I still have a bunch of tiny fliers, two A-17 bombers, a Valley Class Airship and a Savannah Class Sky Fortress on the bench.

 The two Enterprise class dreadnaughts, representing the main punch of the fleet.

 Two Independence class battleships, also packing a hefty punch, especially with all those rockets.

 Three Lexington class cruisers.

 Nine Augusta class frigates.

I figured as these are for an alternative history ruleset I had plenty of leeway as to colour schemes so have opted for a patriotic scheme.  All are Vallejo colours with hull in Prussian blue, superstructure in white and paddle wheel housings in flat red.  Decks are beige brown, turrets and machinery gunmetal, tanks/boilers in copper and pipes in brass, with oily steel for any structural metalwork.

Thanks for looking.

On the workbench - January 2014

This week I have been trying to make progress with my Dystopian Wars Federated States of America fleet.  I've got the basic starter fleet, one Dreadnaught, one Battleship, three Cruisers and 9 Frigates plus two bombers and some tiny fliers.  I've added some more heavy ships with a second Dreadnaught and another Battleship as well as a Savannah Class Sky Fortress and a Valley Class airship.

As can be seen, I've opted for a patriotic red, white and blue colour scheme - the Prussian Blue I've used is actually pretty close to the colour of the USS Texas which I visited a couple of years back.  Decks are beige brown and there will be lashings of gunmetal grey and oily steel around plus some brass or copper depending on how the whim takes me.  No idea when these will be wrapped up as they are really detailed models, but I aim to get them on the wargames table in a couple of weeks time, whatever state they are in!

Thanks for looking.
