HMS Grimsby escort sloop 1:1400 WW2

This is HMS Grimsby (U16), the lead vessel in its class of escort sloops. There were 8 British ships in this class. There was also a subclass that served in the Australian Navy (4 ships) and 1 that served for the Royal Indian Marine. The model is as built for Grimsby. It is likely that during the war, a lot more stuff was added such as DCTs.

Simple one piece model design for smaller scales and tweaked to ensure as compliant as possible with Shapeways across the range of materials offered and the perfect base on which modellers can add the fine detail flourishes to, depending on your skill level. The model has ‘floored guns’ for the best durability to reduce breakages, and be printable in the material offered. Designed by Philip Warnes and can be used at an appropriate hex scale with his SeaLion Supremacy game, or any other naval tabletop game that uses this scale.

If you have family that served on this vessel class, why not order a miniature to keep as a small family keepsake or gift for someone else whose family served onboard. Or maybe you had family who worked at the yards that built this vessel. Keep your family military history alive.
