My club, much debate about if we wanted to be an actual club as we are all a bit Groucho Marx, is running an insane Back of Beyond campaign and DaveD (umpire and man who knows the rules) told me last week the Japanese and Brazilians (not a typo) are invading Vladivostok at my house on Friday and we needed a port. Luckily I had a ship and a dock crane that needed painting.
The ship is an mdf kit from TT Combat and is massive
Made it look suitably rusty and dirty.
Told you it was big, 20 inches by 6 by 6. The deck holds 3 28mm shermans and 3 M3 half tracks.
Any dock needs are crane, this one is from Sarissa and a pretty big mdf kit, the body is twice the size of a tank
Painted in a dull red, it's a crane and seemed a suitable colour.
I've got no clue how to score these, crane about 3 times bigger than a tank and the ship about 12 times bigger than a tank. Helpful guidance much appreciated.

Wow, not that is a huge piece of terrain there Martin!
Let's start with the simpler one first, that crane is a big piece but in my mind fairly simple to paint up, so due to its simplicity even though its much bigger than a tank in 28mm I am going to consider it as a vehicle for points so 20 points for it.
As for the ship, wow. Again very massive, and I have seen one of those kits in person it kinda fills a table!! Again though it its a very low detail model, so while its massive, its pretty simple and does not require a ton of fiddly detail work. Then again, it is almost 2' long! I am going to go with 70 points for it as I see that you have tried to do a lot to the kit (like the lines and weathering).
Both are great pieces of terrain and will dominate a table and make for some interesting fights. Great work!

Those looked great on the table in your fight.
