G.W.S.S. PRODUCTS
We produce
1:144 scale parts for WWI & WWII Warships. Please
click on the categories below to see the parts that we have to
offer.
Our parts are primarly used in radio-controlled model warship combat battles. These ships fire CO2-powered BB cannons at each other in attempts to put enough holes in the other ships to sink them. As such all our parts are manufactured to be either strong enough to withstand combat and survive (still looking pretty) or else to be cheap and easy enough to simply replace. We manufacture parts from primarily three different resins, the benefits and characteristics of which are explained below:
Resins in G.W.S.S.
Parts
"Standard"
Resin
This is
our original standard resin. Middle-of-the-road compared to our
other options below. May be sanded, drilled, and/or tapped.
Turrets and superstructure pieces made of this material have held
up to many seasons of battling without cracking. However, impacts
from BB's do leave small dimples in the face of the turrets
(preferred by some captains as 'battle scars').
"Termite Armor" Resin
This is the original rubbery-like resin used by Peter Kunisch to make his famous "Termite" armor. It is heavier than the standard white resin. It is just elastic enough to not be damaged by BB's but strong enough to not stretch or be marred during use. It may be cut with a knife or drilled (best with a high-speed drill or Dremmel tool).
Flexible
Foam
This is
an expanding closed-cell foam. It is extremely light and will float
if knocked off the ship during combat. The closed-cell structure
will NOT absorb water, however it is not strong enough to deflect
direct BB impacts (over time the foam parts may "pucker" from hits
and/or lodge BB's inside them, requiring some form of maintenance
or replacement).
