I decided to lay out my collection of 1/2400th scale Tumbling Dice mid-Victorian ironclads today for a mini Spithead naval review, with the Royal Navy, La Royale, the United States Navy and, last but by no means least, the Royal Danish Navy steaming past (the Prussians had a huff and didn't turn up). There are more photos on the blog: link |

You need a 1/2400 "Victoria and Albert" to take the salute :) |

I've got a Hallmark paddle aviso that I could use for that…hadn't thought of it before but why not? |

Great looking fleets! As I recall, your Dunderberg is scratch built? |

Very nice. I've a few to go before I can hold a decent steam by. |

Yep, the Dunderberg and Onondaga are scratch builds from plastic card but with TD bases. HMS Pallas is a conversion from the Independencia and the smaller US monitors are all cut and shut conversions. |

Sweet! The only thing missing is the royal yacht cruising between the lines.  (Well, and maybe a few thousand colorful flags hanging from stays and shrouds…). I bet the ships in this picture are just about life-sized on my monitor. Big monitor, small models. - Ix |

PS: You may have to change the intro text on your blog. This doesn't look like one of 100 projects in a stage of incompletion or total abandonment… |
| boggler | 05 Aug 2020 12:04 a.m. PST |
Total abandonment…er, no. Incompletion…is it ever finished?! :0) |
