Putting together the Kingdom of Britannia Illustrious Class Sky Fortress was not as simple as I thought it was going to be and certainly not as simple as other Dystopian Wars models I have made.
The rotor pylons and the rotors themselves were quite fiddly and I even needed to do some drilling.
I am not as much of a fan of this model compared to the Eagle Class War Rotor which I do like a lot. I might think differently once it is painted.
High above the waves the Illustrious Class Sky Fortress gracefully glides into battle, held aloft by six gigantic manoeuvring rotors and the Royal Engineering Corps’ most advanced Sturginium Gravitation Generators.
The model itself comes in a blister. It mainly comprises one large piece of resin.
In addition to the engine pylons, you get an ‘island’ and aircraft flyer tokens.
Next stage after washing the resin will be putting the model together.
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.
Here are some photographs of the Kingdom of Britannia Naval Battle Group at sea in the sunshine.

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

Here is a photographs of all the ships from the Kingdom of Britannia Naval Battle Group.
Look at the workbench feature.
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.
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.
