The discerning reader will have remembered that I bought two plastic kits at Battleground show at Stockton last month-one,a medieval boat,and two a medieval bridge.
Well, I have finished both kits, to the standard that I wanted,and here they are...................
The bridge,which must be the steepest and most inaccessible bridge in the world,had to be made in 6 sections,as shown,with "umpteen" pieces in each section!!
The kit,which was Russian,had no written instructions,so proved a bit of a "test" to my limited abilities,but the end result can be seen here.
I suppose that it could be used for sledging down,or for rolling Easter eggs down,but is not very practical for wargaming(oh yeah?-just watch!!)
The RSPCA would have something to say if you tried to get a horse up that incline!!
A double archway-that's novel and will probably lead onto another river-section project in the new year-hey ho!!-why did I buy it????
Anyway,on to the next kit,which will prove to be more useful.............................
A Medieval boat,useful from Norman times, and through the Crusades.I have deliberately left off most of the deck clutter,so I can put a figure or two onto the deck(Santa,are you listening??)
The mast and sail are separate,so can be removed,although it must be pointed out that I glued the sail on upside down!!!-I blame two things-old age and Captain Morgan!!!,so the Cross had to be re-painted to give the impression that it was the right way up!!-oh dear,why do I bother?
As it sails away across the kitchen table,one though springs to mind-it'll never get under those bloody archways!!!-Happy Christmas.
