The ships I am planning will be quit...Hi Archduke,<br /><br />The ships I am planning will be quite simple to put together and will most certainly not be ‘high quality examples of the model makers art’! I am aiming for generic looking types - battleship, armoured cruiser, protected cruiser, torpedo board etc for the later types whilst for the 1860s to 1870s there will be monitors, ironclads of various sorts and smaller gunboats, spar torpedo launches and similar.<br /><br />Currently on the stocks are some ACW types - two types of monitor and two types of casemate ironclad. <br /><br />I hope to have them ready in the next few days.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-68446888577758767532020-10-05T09:38:46.063+01:002020-10-05T09:38:46.063+01:00Hi Jim,

But my 'Jono's World' navies are too WW2-ish, and the 6-8-inch fellows too big for fleet action. I'm thinking of 4-inch long battleships/ cruisers and 2.5-3-inch torpedo boat destroyers possibly modelled on the Greek and Turkish navies c.1900. Maybe. Probably done 'cartoon' style.<br /><br />Just some thoughts and a few sketches on paper and a very interesting website to which Bob Cordery was good enough to direct me...<br />Cheers,<br />Ion<br />Archduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-17402817595012483132020-10-03T20:42:31.740+01:002020-10-03T20:42:31.740+01:00Hello there Mr J,

As mentioned before, this sort of scratch built stuff appeals to me and is perfect for Bob Cordery's naval rules. ACW ironclads are on my list of things to make at some point and mdf would be a great base material to use.Steve J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12143308117853983963noreply@blogger.com
