The discerning reader will remember that back in December,my lovely wife(aka THE WIFE!) bought me a plastic kit of a Roman galley,well ever since I've been trying to get my hands on another model,with no luck.
However,last week,when "trawling" through Amazon site,I came across the very same model,being sold by a company in Frome-I subsequently sent for it,and it arrived on Saturday.
My time to build the model has been at a premium this week,but I have eventually finished it-hurrah!!
At this price,and free postage,what is there not to like?????
Various stages of construction,showing shields,castle and tent and hull c/w oars.
Model complete and painted.I found that it took me less time to complete this time,because I knew what I was doing(Hmmmm!)
A view from the stern(or back if you're not of a sailor-type disposition!!)
Shield detail!-I hope the "symbolism" of the black and white painting has not been lost on the readers who can remember that the original model was painted in red and white!!!
As it sails quietly across the kitchen table,I feel a Sea Shanty coming on,or is it just the need for a glass of Navy Rum??
Comments??
