From AdamC: Gunfighter, Chaos Cruisers, Anglo-Dutch Warships and Japanese warships (85 Points)

First up a lady gunfighter a 3D print from Bloody Scotsman Games for Devil in San Miguel. They aren't selling miniatures any more but you can buy at least some of their games.
I made her outfit vaguely US cavalry, perhaps a sutler or camp follower of even a woman scout. 
I'm please with how the skirt pinstripes came out.
A pair of Battle Fleet Gothic Chaos Cruisers. These are 3d prints, not the originals. 
I came up with theses colors purple and bronze with black, seemed like they would be striking.

Ships are sort of my thing. These are Anglo-Dutch wars vessels for the game "Mad for War" 
This first is a Dutch frigate 
Then we have two 50-gun English ships of the line


In this era the 50 gunner is a true line of battle ship not the awkward isn't a ship of the line isn't really a frigate it will be in the more familiar Napoleonic period.



We also have an English frigate.

I wouldn't call these my best work but they should be OK on the table top.  The print weren't as good as some I have worked with and there is less art for inspiration showing how individual ships looked in this period.  If anyone has a good source  I would welcome the info.
Two Kamikaze class Japanese destroyers 
These were state of the art in the 1920s but clearly second line units by the Second World War, 
Still they saw a lot of action in the war. Early in the war the Japanese tended to have red Hinomaru, often called "meatballs" by the Americans, for identification usually on the turrets but as these are open gun mounts I put one on the top of the bridge.  Such recognition is clear sign you fear friendly fire from your own aircraft more than you fear the enemy aircraft (rightly or wrongly).  Its a fun distinctive look even if it was sort lived. 

Points : 
1x 25mm figure for 5
2x chaos cruisers for 16 points (counted as a 15 mm vehicles I believe )
4x Anglo-dutch wars ships for 60 points (these are similar in size to the Black Seas ships I did in the past at 15x points each)
2x 1/2400 ships for 4 points (2 each I believe)

Total: 85 points

Sylvain: Adam, you offer us a very eclectic selection of models. I especially like your BFG chaos cruisers. Their esthetic is very unique and your paint job enhances their menacing look. You will definitely keep naval wargaming alive. Joli travail!
