The U.S.S. Ozark (left) and the C.S.S. Selma - the latest additions to the collection
As a slight break from the previous six posts in which I described being at the final stages of the ship build and then went through various permutations of what needed to be done and when, I have last gotten off the mark with some completed models. In truth the previous six posts were probably not the most inspiring of reads BUT - definite progress has now been made and the fruits of this you can see above.

I rather enjoyed building these and am rather pleased with how they have turned out. For the C.S.S. Selma the supporting frames were commissioned from those wonderful people at Warbases, as was the superstructure for the U.S.S. Ozark.
The next nine models all have masts - luckily they are built - but the plan is to tackle the next four over the weekend.
Things are moving along at last!

Two great looking ships Dave!
Hello there Raymondo,
Many thanks old chap! Still a way to go - 16 in fact - but a big chunk of what is left is well under way. There should be another four finished over the weekend.
All the best,
DC
Lovely looking ships David.
I particularly like the Selma.
All the best. Aly
Lovely additions to your fleet Admiral!
David,
Great and unique additions to your fleet. Well done!
All the best,
Bob
Hello there Aly,
Thank you kindly sir! The Selma came out rather nicely although is perhaps a little ‘heavy’ looking. Mind you, so are all the other models in the collection so it is in good company!
All the best,
DC
G’Day Paul,
Cheers mate - much appreciated although I am not sure if I warrant the promotion! :-)
Hope all is well with you and say hi to ‘Right Stuff’,
All the best,
DC
Hello there Bob,
Thank you kindly sir! I wanted to tackle the Selma as the final model for the project (at least this phase of it) but was so tempted by the odd look of her that I was unable to resist pushing her up the queue!
All the best,
DC
