Kingdom of Britannia Eagle Class War Rotor

The Eagle Class War Rotor is a marvel of Her Majesty’s Flying Corps and the pride of any pilot that is granted the honour of captaining one. Years of engineering have gone into the development of this flying behemoth, and the utilisation of hybrid rotor driven propulsion and Sturginium-enhanced Anti-Gravitation generators allows thousands of tonnes of British steel to glide into the sky above the battlefield, much to the horror of its foes.

The model itself comes in a blister. There are three main resin pieces and some other parts in metal.

Really nice concept for the model and something that I will enjoy painting.

Some more photographs of my finished Kingdom of Britannia Naval Battle Group, well nearly finished, I still need to do the planes.

The “sea” is a photograph printed out onto glossy photo paper, whilst the island is a Snapdragon Studio 1/300th scale SF Bunker.

Check out how I painted the models.

The Fleet

Here is a photographs of all the ships from the Kingdom of Britannia Naval Battle Group.

Look at the workbench feature.

Weathering the little ships

After drybrushing the Battleship and the Cruisers, the next lots of ships to be drybrushed and weathered from the Dystopian Wars Kingdom of Britannia Naval Battle Group were the small Attacker Class Frigates.

These are very tiny in comparison to their sister ships.

I think I could have added more details, but key for me was getting them finished to get them on the table.

Drybrushing more ships

Having finished the Ruler Class Battleship I then finished off the remaining ships in the Kingdom of Britannia Naval Battle Group. First were the Tribal Class Cruisers.

Here are the finished three cruisers.

I am basically finished with these ships and they are ready to use in games.

Weathering the Battleship

Having washed the Ruler Class Battleship from the Dystopian Wars Kingdom of Britannia the next stage was drybrushing the bring out the detail and weathering.

The weathering didn’t quite work out as well as I thought it would. I was using a Citadel Shade to add rust and oil, and it appeared to “bleed” the paint underneath.

I am basically finished with these ships and they are ready to use in games. I would like to add some masts, rigging and flags, but not sure if they would work in this scale and be robust enough for gaming with.
