Peruvian Monitor Victoria

                                        


Here we have a scratch built 1/2400th scale model of the Peruvian turret monitor Victoria, utilising a spare Tumbling Dice base so that she squares up against the other models in my Peruvian fleet. I put the stack a bit too far astern but otherwise it's not too bad. The Victoria didn't see action in the War of the Pacific, having had her armour removed as a training vessel, but can be deployed in the Dahlgren and Columbiad campaign as a 'What If?' option. I'll tackle the more complicated job of making the casemate ironclad Loa tomorrow.

  1. Hello there Jim,

    Lovely work as ever old chap - looking forward to the next model for sure! Did you see that ‘Dawn of Iron’ are soon to be releasing a Pacific War scenario pack? What with that and David Manley’s D and C campaign there will be plenty of material to use.

    All the best,

    DC
