The whole concept of the OHW and the ability to bolt on and tweak the core system to suit one's own nefarious purposes is a real bonus. I suspect that we shall be seeing a whole lot more from you in this series....;-)<br /><br />Am I correct in identifying those brown coloured Fimo vessels as normally being Dhows? They are really useful for a variety of periods and look equally at home under sail or engine power. <br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.com
