QuoteThanks for that, very useful tips for painting.  However, I have been fighting off the lure of 1/6000 with my IBS game for years.  I already have so many painting jobs in hand I think I can avoid the temptation ... for now.  Any photos to go with your fleets and AARs for 1/6000 ships?  Are they very visible at any distance other than close?
I'm afraid I don't have photographs.

I was really impressed by the sharp detail.
This allows a wash to really pick up the details.

I tend to do ship recognition by silhouette, and have no problem distinguishing battleships and cruisers at that scale.
I would most certainly struggle if a battle involved a mix of destroyer classes.

Apologies if I am being really dumb but did you put all of your credit card details order in your fax? It just that I wiil be putting an order in myself soon.

Cheers Paul

Yes, They have an order form that is designed to be printed off, but I just kncoked up a letter giving code, description, price total etc saved it as a pdf and used "PDF24 Fax" to send it (allows 5 free fax's a month for free and doesn't rquire you to have a fax machine).

Glad that Nanwar sparked a bit of debate   :D

That could be a dangerous piece of information in itself now the local place were I used to fax from has finally got rid of their dedicated fax machine!  ;)

Scary thing is that between Paul (US and Japanese) and myself (British, Germans, Italians and French) we probably have 95% of all those ships, apart from the "what-if" capital ships  :-X

You can't order through the website (you call add things to your order, but this then needs to be printed and send off. No email option exists.

You either 1, Send on order in on paper, using the mail
                 2, Send a fax

Both options work and Mr Navwar does have a quick turn around.

I don't have all those fleets, they are the "Starter Fleets" for £13.50, the contents of which aren't on the website.

My early morning cup of tea is delivered to me in bed by Mrs Orcs. I think getting her to print off documents and bring them to me with my tea might jeopardize both the tea and my good health.
