Some years ago a vendor at some of the HMGS East conventions carried a line of stylized models of ACW ships made out of hardwood. They were painted in vivid glosscoat paint if I recall. I can't remember if they were 15mm or 25mm. Does anyone remember who this vendor was? My game group seems to be drifting toward 15mm ACW naval and I although I remember the ships being sold, I can't recall by whom. Any help would be appreciated. |

If we are talking about the same thing they were made out of wood in 15mm and came out in the mid 90's by a guy who lived in the Lancaster area. I have a number of them of which some I purchased painted and the newer one's were not. I do know you had to supply your own cannon and crew for them if you wanted to use crew figures. As far as who made them that I don't remember. |
