I will stick with them as trees though methinks.<br /><br />I consider myself to be quite restrained in respect of the ACW collection as the original version was around 50 odd models devoted solely to the rivers. The current version is more rounded in that I can tackle the coast and high seas but could readily add to the numbers if I wanted to. I am going to stick with what I have although the odd one off may make an appearance occasionally!<br /><br />I suspect there is a tale to tell about Dave Atkinson in fond memory!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-23232687885804746072021-04-10T17:00:56.675+01:002021-04-10T17:00:56.675+01:00The group of 4 trees on the right look as if they ...The group of 4 trees on the right look as if they would make good explosion markers. <br /><br />No such thing as project creep; it ends when you're dead :-)<br /><br />Regards, Chris.<br /><br />p.s I say this in fond memory of Dave Atkinson, known to his friends as "Atkinswine",Chris Kemphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15784847480097649252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-88143836974739349402021-04-09T09:46:20.506+01:002021-04-09T09:46:20.506+01:00Hello there Mr Manley,

I am happy with it all though as I believe that once these final models are built I will be able to draw a line under the ships and get the terrain built. I have a sufficient variety of models for most types of action which is a big advance over my original river based collection.<br /><br />Still undecided about the C.S.S. Baltic and the C.S.S. Virginia which means I will probably end up building both!<br /><br />Spectrum broadening? That has a certain whimsical charm!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-7029620572893520722021-04-09T09:32:22.401+01:002021-04-09T09:32:22.401+01:00Project creep is a myth put about by those wishing...Project creep is a myth put about by those wishing to spread negativity and angst. <br /><br />Spectrum broadening on the other hand.....David Manleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15618853603602429096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-39808725841711132822021-04-08T16:42:39.504+01:002021-04-08T16:42:39.504+01:00Hello there Charles,
