I must confess that I did chuckle to myself when I wrote this post as originally I was only looking to build around 12 to 15 models in total....<br /><br />Virginia was not difficult to build but I had to take a lot of care whilst making her. There was a lot of sanding involved! She is quite ‘cartoon-like’ but fits in well with the stylised nature of the rest of the collection. Did I mention there was a lot of sanding involved?<br /><br />It is funny you mentioning the Wazir and his Corsairs - partially inspired by your good self and Madasahatta I have the beginnings of a cunning plan involving the 17th century, the Dutch, the Barbary Corsairs and the Brethren of the Coast (Indian Ocean Chapter).<br /><br />All the best and thanks once again,<br /><br />DC<br /><br />All will be revealed in due course.David Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-13065423478087646122021-05-11T00:19:39.543+01:002021-05-11T00:19:39.543+01:00Hi David -
What a project! Your 'Virginia'...Hi David -<br />What a project! Your 'Virginia' is the 'Merrimac' as ever was. You have created as fine a pair of model navies as I've ever seen. It has been fascinating to see them develop.<br />I think your project has somewhat helped me in mine. I've almost completed the war fleet of the Wazir's Corsairs of the Coast - just one transport vessel needs to get its masts stepped, its yards crossed, and sails bent...<br />Cheers,<br />Ion<br />Archduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-27783241429652620942021-05-10T22:21:21.839+01:002021-05-10T22:21:21.839+01:00Hi there Steve J,
