So, as I mentioned, the postman called today at the office ((actually, he called today at the condo as well – more steel paper from Magnetic Displays for my storage boxes)). I mentioned on July 23rd in the post the War of the Pacific 1879 to 1883 Naval Matters that I was ordering some 1/2400th scale vessels from Tumbling Dice UK. That was 10 days ago from London to Singapore. Damned good service from them.
I ordered the following vessels:
| Code | Description |
| ASV61 | Hauscar & Independencia |
| ASV62 | Aimirante Cochrane |
| ASV15 | Corvette Screw |
| ASV11 | Sloop Screw |
| ASV13 | Gun Boat Screw |
| ASV51 | USS Monitor |
| Los Andes | |
| Javery |
The USS Monitor is to provide a couple of single turret monitors for the Peruvians and the Los Andes and Javery were just to see what’s in them.
I like the way these guys look. Even included on some of the models are ratlines. I am so looking forward to assembling and painting these little guys. My big worry is that I may end up shelving my 1/1000th (ish) scale vessels and replacing them with 1/2400th as well.
More on scale in the next post.
