Mick Yarrow's 1/3000 miniatures

[aquarius]

Hi mattes,

does anybody know mick yarrow's 1/3000 naval miniatures? I have navwar 1/3000 and I just discovered mick yarrow. Do you know further details (about the quality and detail) for this company ?

I have a large number of his ships and probably have some pictures up in one of my other threads. I mostly have his British and Japanese cruisers with a few battleships and carriers thrown in. His stuff is cheaper than Navwar or Skytrex but not as good in quality. The guns are sometimes impossibly to make out clearly and forget about the secondaries. But at a couple feet away it works on the gaming table. And he has a lot of weird ships that no one else has. I have some really odd ships that I could only get from him and they always start a conversation when I bring one of them out.

If you want to get anything from him, make sure that every ship in that class comes from him. His stuff will not mix with Navwar or Skytrex and two ships that should look identical will look rather different. I would recommend getting some destroyers from him. They are really cheap and his Town (4 stacker USA DD), Fabuki, Navigatori, Narvik, and Tribal are pretty decent. His Fletcher is okay if you don't have them from anyone else. I haven't brought any of his merchant ships but they'd probably be okay since they don't have little parts.

The bottom line is that his stuff is cheaper than anyone else but the quality is not as good. He has stuff no one else has and it is really easy to order from him. My stuff has always been shipped quickly as well. And he is the only one expanding his line at all. I hope that helps a bit.
