Dear All,

To the disappointment of at least two other Gents, a somewhat faster-on-the-trigger fellow has already scooped up the HS-144 German Gunboat.

But Richard can make others if anyone wishes to commission him to do so!

In January, Richard Houston decided to repopulate his page with all new models, and he has been working like the Sorcerer's Apprentice ever since.

Three U.S. destroyers from between 1898 and 1914, a French destroyer from 1917, and two gunboats - one British and one German for East Africa/Asia - are now available, and more are coming!

The prices are low, befitting these generally smaller models, and the models are ready to send.

A new feature is the inclusion of painted crew figures for each vessel, besides their weaponry.

As ever, the hulls are solid wood with metal railings, ladders, and cardstock details. All second decks and bridge/wheelhouse roofs are removable to reveal interior details and provide access to crew and troops.

Designed first for active wargaming, Richard Houston's work is known around the world for its utility, high quality, and simple beauty.

As usual, these will likely sell fast, so if you've been thinking about what one of Houston's Ships can bring to your games, make straight to his page at TVAG and see the photos of each model for yourself.
