Der Alte's impressive Richard Houston gunboat will feature in a scene on the Campaigns of General Pettygree blog in 1-2 weeks. She is already docked at a Colonial port in a photo set now being built. I wonder if the HMS Zanzibar TVAG mentions will arrive offshore to look in, as it were?

When six new models by Richard Houston were placed at once on his page at TVAG earlier this month, the two Gunboats sold the same day - not unusual.

But when a Gent's attempt to buy came too late, he wrote asking for Richard to build him another version of the British Gunboat Zambesi. Richard did better than that and made two new models, one for the Gent (the Zanzibar) and another German now up for sale.

Full details are on the Houston's Ships page, but the photos here will give an idea of what prize she is!

So, for those of you who missed your chance, here is another of the Kaiser's pets to run amok in German East Africa - or wherever you want her to go.
