I managed to visit my local branch of Hobbycraft yesterday, and I had a small list of things that I needed to buy in order to continue with my model Ironclad building programme. Unfortunately the branch did not have everything that I wanted to buy in stock ... and so I will have to try to go to the Maidstone branch next weekend to see if they have what I need.
In the meantime I have been working on some other ship designs, and have begun to make a few prototypes of smaller vessels for the late nineteenth century. If they turn out to be acceptable, then I will write a blog entry about them; if they don't, then they will be consigned to the modelling rubbish bin.
Time will tell what their fate will be.

Hi Bob,
ReplyDeleteThat is frustrating - I was pretty lucky with my own visit this weekend although I did manage to forget one item! Following on from the ubiquitous casemate ironclad and monitor do you have any plans for something like a Cairo class gunboat?
All the best,
DC
David Crook,
ReplyDeleteIt is one of the things that I have in mind to build ... time permitting!
All the best,
Bob
Very much a case of "We want eight but we'll have to wait"

Tim Gow,
ReplyDeleteVery true. Hopefully a trip to Maidstone (the next nearest branch of Hobbycraft) will solve the problem. if not ... well there is always the Internet!
All the best,
Bob
