I bought this model from an online 3D Printing service over 12 months ago so I've forgotten who it was. It's okay, but warped a little and there's no deck detailing.
Still it's a ship Martin doesn't currently make.
The Milwaukee had 3 sister ships - The Chickasaw, the Kickapoo and the Winnebago. I've named mine the Chickasaw.
Having spent 20 minutes pointing it up, I found Commodore Klank had already done it 3 years ago. Happily, our maths came out the same.
With 2 turrets each with 2 Heavy guns and 28 hit points, I think she'll take some beating!
Looks good, Sean!
HI is a good little game.

Just a couple of mine. Kickapoo and Winnebago.
