North American Station - the refitted Barbette battleship

 Spring has arrived at FLW HQ, and the restored battleship is completed.  This ship is designed as an Edwardian Colonial coastal battleship - and again produced in comic scale, for use with 25mm figures.  The fleets are now nearly ready; just one more turret ship to be completed - and a balloon barge. It will then be time to go on campaign again.

The ship is finished in the black hull, white superstructure and canary funnel.

  1. That’s a very fine example of a coastal defence battleship! Are you going to add any light anti-torpedo boat guns for close protection?

    All the best,

  2. Thanks Bob, and yes I have some light guns ready to go on the coastal battleships. It has been an enjoyable winter project, and nearly ready to go.
