Now people say that the moulds are old, and yes, there was a bit of scraping, filing and filling to do, but these ships have serious character. So here's my Brits - assembled and waiting for undercoat.. HMS Dreadnought, Collingwood, Orion, Thunderer, and Alexandra.
And of course they are sitting on top of my Conway's "All the World's Fighting Ships 1860-1905". I got mine for about Aussie $45.. but I have seen them sell for as much as $120. If you see one at a price you can afford, and you have any interest in pre-dreadnoughts, buy it! You wont regret it. Line drawings and photographs plus essential statistics and summary for every warship in this period.
I am waiting for my Lissa fleets to arrive - any day now :-)
ReplyDeletePeter West bought the Italians, but they are rather dull... all sort of Napoleonic hulls with sparse masts.. his link is at http://www.flickr.com/photos/huascar18/6697572001/in/photostream/ and just hit newer to see them.
ReplyDeleteHmm, yeah - the moulds look a bit rough as well. Will need to see what we can do with them.
