A new arrival has piqued my interest:
These are 1/1200 ship models from Spithead Miniatures for the Haitian Revolution (Salnave's War) of 1867. Also pictured above is an ACW 90-day gunboat and USS Benton.
To accompany these wonderful models, I picked up a copy of this:
This slender book is a concise source of information for the vessels and battles at sea during the revolution, including maps and drawings of all the ships present.
Welcome back, and a great project to kick off your return.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteWelcome back to blogging! The Haitian stuff looks interesting. I wish Spithead miniatures had a better way of showing their figures.
ReplyDeleteThanks - The Spithead web site is gone, but they have a Facebook page...
DeleteThis is a new period to me and I look forward to learning more about it as your project continues. Good to see you blogging here once more.
ReplyDeleteThank you
