Title: CS Privateer 'Beauregard', Savannah GA 1861 - 1:124 scale
Post by: Story on January 03, 2017, 02:03:57 AM

Too-Slow schooner (7 kph) fitted out by a private investment group with a single rifled 24lb gun (probably a pivot, as the Antebellum slavers were armed).
Waiting for a 24lb pivot gun, standing and running rigging. Currently berthed on a bed of Joe Frogger rum cookies.

That's some outstanding work below the waterline!

I've never seen a better representation of barnacled copper cladding.

Well done!

P.S. Mind if I grab a cookie?  ;D
