HMS Mimi and Toutou with HMS Fifi (ex Kingani) at the top of the picture
Graft Von Goetzen at the top with the Hedwig Von Wissman (left) and the Kingani (right). The latter has a flag but the camera angle does not show it!
No varnish dramas and with flags proudly flying! I have to say that this little mini project (should that be Mimi project?) has really given me a boost and so I am looking forward to getting them into action and also adding to the collection. There are another half a dozen or so models for Lake Tanganyika and then it will be on to the Rufiji Delta, West Africa and then the Red Sea.
Methinks that Warbases are going to be busy….
First of all though, redoing some pictures and fighting a battle, possibly two!

David,
In the words of Gilbert and Sullivan:
‘Oh! We sail the ocean blue … and our saucy ship’s a beauty …’
You’ve done a great job with these model, which are - in my opinion - your best yet! I hope - know - that we’ll see them in action soon.
All the best,
Bob
