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.
Hello there Jim,
ReplyDeleteLovely 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
Hi David,
ReplyDeleteI didn't know about that...brilliant!
No steel tape measures near the monitor perchance?
ReplyDeleteIt scales out at about 21mm in length and 4mm in width
DeleteNice scratch work, lovely ship!
