That might seem a bit like extra work, but it does allow me to wargame with a (mostly) clear conscience. : )<br /><br />If you order from Ironclad, you might ask John L if there's summit up about new 'nefs.kmfryehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00632722834394319137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434057214719341716.post-48106098811161197822014-07-24T08:21:44.795-07:002014-07-24T08:21:44.795-07:00My pleasure :-D

They seem amenable to a bit of minor modification too - a ram or an enlarged bow for a 1pdr perhaps, maybe a Gatling on the afterdeck. I've also seen some pics at the Lead Adventure Forum with the stern modified and a chin turret added. Look pretty good! Of course the danger is to over arm them to the point where they look silly<br /><br />I hope that is a true buzz about Ironclad - I like what I have got of theirs, including a wheeled steam tank, a Tripod and a 10 man unit of their Armoured Naval landing Party (they are all up at my Yours in a White Wine Sauce Blog).Paul O'Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611720164170399684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434057214719341716.post-84494644072818436552014-07-24T07:41:30.117-07:002014-07-24T07:41:30.117-07:00Well done, Paulders. : )

It won't do for much besides an aerial steam launch, I'm afraid, unless you're using the 15mm scale, in which case, she could be modified into HMAS Thunderer.<br /><br />I plan on adding another one to the Royal Naval Aerial Squadron eventually, since they're of the right size to support a ground action without overshadowing the infantry. <br /><br />Even with a single 1-or-3 lb HRC on her, as a flanker she would make most of the smaller Martian cloudships unhappy - 'til she's hit.<br /><br />There was a rumour knocking about that Ironclad is looking at expanding their line of aeronefs, so perhaps they're planning to go bigger?kmfryehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00632722834394319137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434057214719341716.post-40089037787948847312014-07-24T06:03:26.569-07:002014-07-24T06:03:26.569-07:00My cunning plan is working - Bwahahahahaha!
Actua...My cunning plan is working - Bwahahahahaha!<br /><br />Actually, I'd be very interested in your thoughts on the Ironclad Gunship. She looks pretty sturdy but a little on the small side. Yet AFAIK its the only commercial available model.<br />What did you think of the model?Paul O'Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611720164170399684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8434057214719341716.post-43179068244411434802014-07-23T08:36:00.076-07:002014-07-23T08:36:00.076-07:00LOL.
