The first ship is probably a...Hello there Steve J,<br /><br />The first ship is probably around halfway there and so will be ready in a couple of days or so. After the great ship building frenzy of a few years ago I found that I needed to relearn a few techniques as well as upscaling them for the larger models. It is all coming together well enough though. I shall build the two additional Confederate casemate ironclads first (to go with the one currently under construction) and then the three Union monitors. I will then tackle the half a dozen generic types to finish off the collection although I am also planning some spar torpedo boats and possibly even the odd submersible for fun.<br /><br />One thing I am not doing though - and this is a first for me - will be basing the models.<br /><br />My first port of call on the rules front will be Bob’s Gridded Naval Wargames although the version I will be using is that of Mr Fox. I have a few other ideas to play around with though. I am looking forward to using the Hammerin’ Iron gaming mat - it looks rather good.<br /><br />I have to say that I am really enjoying this!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-30118095485883040402020-10-05T17:48:41.933+01:002020-10-05T17:48:41.933+01:00Ah, the joys of scratchbuilding!

Bob Cordery's naval rules appeal to me but as with many things, I've yet to give them a try.Steve J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12143308117853983963noreply@blogger.com
