Now I'm working on...

Shark73,

Very interested to see your PLAN units and Naval base, the pictures aren't working for me despite trying different browsers. Is anyone else able to see his posted photos?

I'm particularly curious about the 1/2500 terrain pieces you mentioned, do you have more info about terrain options that work for the micronaut scale?

Thanks.

Hi RedDragon, double checked that the pictures should be open for viewing, not sure what is causing the problem at your end though. The models are from a Japan series and you can find them by Googling "GEO Craper". There are some harbor related modules within the collection that I'd found useful for micronauts. I was lucky to find them available in a local shop but I'm not sure if that's common at all in other places out of Japan.

Learnt from someone online that handy wrap is a great material for picturing sea diorama. So I've given it a try on acrylic glass on a green base. That's quick and dirty but it seems working well as a temp setup for photographing micronaut pieces. What do you think?

Thanks for the quick response and checking the images, guess I'll have to try from my home P.C.

I love:
1. that these awesome products exist!
2. that somebody seems to have dropped an "S" from "GEO CRAPER"
3. they inadvertently fooled the auto-censor here!

Now that I know they exist I am going to look around for more options for making a large purchase.

I realize that when I finally see the pictures it will probably answer all my questions and more, but I can't contain myself. Have you tried to use these products without the mounting bases?

Do you happen to have any of your 1/2400 stuff posted elsewhere public?

It actually doesn't allow placing a top piece across multiple mounting bases. So you are correct, I've tried to not using the mounting bases in order to give me more flexibility in shuffling the pieces around.

Please find my PM to you the URL of the original pictures.

@Shark
I dig the handy wrap for the oceanic sense. Not personally into the micronauts, but those are some fine looking models you have there.

Shark73, thanks for the pictures. Really nice work on the PLAN fleet!!!

Curious what model you used for the Supply ship, something from Shapeways?

You're right! It's 3D printed Type 903A from Shapeways. I think replenishment ship is an important piece for completing modern fleets. Would love to have GHQ quality one available but there is already too long a wish list to accommodate for replenishment ships (of any nation).
