Thank you old chap - very ...Hello there Mad Padre,<br /><br />Thank you old chap - very much appreciated!<br /><br />Thoroughbred are lovely for sure but getting them in the UK would be hugely expensive. Originally I did consider using Peter Pig for the project but decided that I wanted to build the fleets myself. They are simple, old school models and are largely ‘based upon’ rather than being strictly accurate but I do not recall in the forty odd years I have been wargaming having as much enjoyment as I have had building these!<br /><br />They may not win any prizes but they fights just as well!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-70493412446708522812021-03-29T16:28:33.361+01:002021-03-29T16:28:33.361+01:00Amazing work David.
