Royal Navy Ironclad Extras





I've been tied up with family stuff today, so once again the workbench has been an afterthought. To make up for this I assembled the Tumbling Dice model of HMS Shah, which I failed to glue together a few weeks go when the super glue didn't want to co-operate due to the damp and cold temperature in the garage. This time I took no prisoners and left the hull to cook off in the sun before adding the sails with extra strong liquid glue. I'll use the model as HMS Inconstant which was very similar but was launched earlier in 1868. I also glued together HMS Prince Consort to make up the fourth ironclad in the class, so I have a full complement of broadside ironclads to paint up over the next week or so. Job done!
