Completed 1/3000 German WW1 Fleet + Some in-progress 1/1200 Napoleonic Ships

Hey everyone,

Just finished my 1/3000 German WW1 fleet from War Times Journal (WTJ Miniatures).
For 3D Printed models at this small of a scale, the detail they are able to achieve is phenomenal, let's hope my paintjobs and picture-taking compliments them enough.

The Fleet Consists of:

3 Battlecruisers

Left to Right: SMS Seydlitz, SMS Mackensen, and SMS Hindenburg

"Oh Scheisse! Look! Beyond zat iceberg, it's ze HMS Lion!"

And just to throw in some more pictures, here are some 1/1200 GHQ Napoleonic Ships that are in progress. Still need to order ratlines from Langton, finish some standing rigging, and do all of the running rigging!

The beginning stages of rigging, lots left to do!

As you can see, I definitely need to re-print and fix the ensign and pennant!
Another in-progress: HMS Victory

Thanks for tuning in! Sorry if this was a long one, I definitely like to take pictures!
