More CW Steamers – 1/600 and 1/1200

Having worked on some 3D models of stern wheel steamers for the ACW I decided to apply my growing skills to some side wheelers, and “upscaled” some of the models to 1/600. Latest adventures on my blog here:

Lovely stuff.  Probably the only aspect of the ACW that has continued to interest me since I gave up my Airfix armies on leaving school.  (A session at an old Partizan show with Martin of Peter Pig when he launched his river rules probably helped!)

Slightly off-topic, will there be a Naval Wargames Society gathering this year, and if so, where and when?

Those look pretty darn good!  I like playing games with “lower tier” steamers (like cottonclads or other non-typical ironclads) as they fights seem a bit more decisive (read: more carnage) and exciting.  For one-offs anyways.  Of course when playing a campaign a commander should prefer survivability.
