Fight to the Death: Baby Mikasa vs. Baby Borodino

I am currently separated from most of my scratchbuilding stock, but first seeing Master Cordery's blog post about these Japanese wonder weapons and then the same product appearing on a forum, I decided to make something similar.



These initial efforts cover the IJN Mikasa and the four Borodino-class Russian ships. The hull is 3cm long and 1cm wide. The superstructure is compressed and the ship gains this caricaturistic rotund shape. I used standard scratchbuilding materials: plasticard, broom bristles and other plastic garbage.


The Borodinos steam out to meet their fate.
