A geek dad's gaming blog. I like characterful characters, rich plots, random generators, and minimal prep - and occasionally play wargames and boardgames.

Ooh! Yes indeed that is a lovely line of ships! I've actually blogged about them on a number of occasions and I think it's simply a matter of time before I get myself a little belter fleet.

Well, it seems shapeways is making it easier to buy outside of the US... so I may be tempted myself.
