The two 90 Day gunboats are now undercoated so I am hoping to have them ready in a couple of days. I will then tackle the pair of similar looking Confederate types.<br /><br />It is getting there for sure!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-14535773445018273902021-05-05T12:30:50.592+01:002021-05-05T12:30:50.592+01:00These little guns work really well David...

I have some frame style carriages that I was planning to use for the fortress artillery when I get to it.<br /><br />I am really pleased with ow this idea has worked though - Warbases came up trumps once again!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-88811330044112035432021-05-04T16:50:13.998+01:002021-05-04T16:50:13.998+01:00David,

My approach has been very much along the lines of the Indiana Jones quote from Raiders of the Last Ark - “I don’t know I’m making this up as I go!”<br /><br />So far it is turning out alright though!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-50896564168607740752021-05-04T15:39:13.430+01:002021-05-04T15:39:13.430+01:00Great modelling work David.

I have a brace of three masted Confederate gunboats to tackle next which historically were near enough the same size as the 90 Dayers - but were flush decked.<br /><br />It is getting there for sure!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-84576230058886794612021-05-04T14:43:18.622+01:002021-05-04T14:43:18.622+01:00She’s looking great David!She’s looking great David!Peter Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14118894381672707297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-28767804717628445692021-05-04T13:20:33.608+01:002021-05-04T13:20:33.608+01:00Hello there Raymondo,
