So close - You can almost taste it....

A little more progress to report on the latest batch of models - I have been able to add the pilot houses and hatch covers so all that remains are the funnels and in the case of 4 out of the 7 models the addition of some gun ports. They are looking good and although are all side wheelers they are sufficiently different looking in superstructure or layout to add variety to the collection. For reasons I will explain later I have also been having another rethink about the Confederate casemate ironclads.

All in all then, in spite of having very limited time this week I am feeling very satisfied with my progress thus far and it sets me up nicely for a weekend of label sticking for my copy of C and C Napoleonics.
