Hi gents,
These warships arrived today from Vietnam ordered a couple of weeks ago via eBay.Also been busy doing some more conversions for the peninsular collection pics of these later.You should have seen the look on the wife's face when she seen these although she was smiling and shaking her head as she walked away!

| When I finally get the rest of the fleet from the war office should be quite a sight. |
 |
| These come with all the rigging done all you have to do is stick the masts into the hole provided. |
 |
| Will now have to get some of the brigade games French sailors. |
 |
| This is a shot next to the Ainsty Sloop which really gives you an idea of the size of these. |
 |
| Plenty of room for troops on board. |
 |
| Another shot to show the size. |
 |
| Last shot. Thanks for having a look. Best wishes Willie |
