I was asked to build and paint 5 for someone. Based on how they came out I put the two I have in my hands into drydock for some touch up. Since these pictures were taken I received some decals from the good people that have taken over the line, and added some more details.

It should be obvious that a major offensive is being planned. I plan on running an AQMF game at What-Khan and there firming up the details for the Little Wars event.

The plan is to run a truly massive game at Little Wars.

Color me impressed. I was thinking two would be awesome but I guess you took it to the next level. Now you just need to do a batrep with these.

As my jaw hit the table top, a small voice in the back of my head asked 'A pirate landship???'

Of course, another one asked 'And, we're not supposed to be impressed with someone having five?'

I tried not to listen to the rest of the voices. It's for the best.

Just getting those on the table is a major offensive.

The Pirate (USLS Trenton) and USLS Chicago were my two favorites of the group.

Looks like somebody spent a lot of money buying them and I would take it that they are not cheap.

deleted22222222213 Oct 2016 1:30 p.m. PST

Retail price for each is 195.00

Not Even "Close" to cheap, as *lasalle012 says.
After I got over the shock and had to be sure I was 'not' seeing things, I cant imagine throwing down $1,000 USD for 5 of those.
I can only wonder if the person who had the five, might have (wisely) grabbed a couple off of Ebay or Bartertown after "R P" folded? Either way, that is some SERIOUS money on that table.. WOW.

Indeed some $1,400 USD on the table, when will we see something like this again. And I can see why he asked you to paint them, excellent work and thanks for sharing.

At Little Wars you would see more than just those 7. I anticipate that there will be 12 in the game, as well as 2 more British Land Ironclads. Hundreds of Tripods to go at them and more.
