…they drag me back in. Earlier in the year (just a few months ago!) I cleared the backlog of ACW models from the queue. Then came FAll In 2016 and a generous gift. Looks like the shipyard is going to be reopened! Mr. Manley – I may yet overtake you for the title of largest 1/600 ACW naval collection! (Maybe.) link

You will only be done when you can recreate both Union and Confederate navies on a 1 to 1 scale, including merchantmen and blockade runners. We'll let you slide on whalers. |

Guess I'll need that third Minnesota class model after all. |

Definitely brown water navy, that one. |

You need at least two models of New Ironsides – with and without masts. I suppose you could do a third with the sails set… - Ix |

I game ACW in 1/1200 because I am a cheap bastard. Thoroughbreds stuff is so nice. I must continue my resistance. |

Wow, those are vintage. The Sassacus hasn't been $13.50 USD in decades. |

Allen – Thoroughbred has a 1/1200 range now: link |

G Dog, I've just added another 10, with another three on the stocks…… :) |

You guys make me feel so inadequate. I only have 110 painted and about 30 unpainted. All 1/600 scale. |
| The G Dog | 25 Dec 2016 11:05 a.m. PST |
"Only" Don't sell yourself short – that's a large collection. I'd have to pull all mine out and count them again, but the numbers are in that vicinity. |

That makes me feel better, I just bought 5 more to keep up. |
