A couple 1/600 War Artisans

(1/1)

Weirdo:
A papercraft 74-gun SoL, part of my long-term quest to build both fleets for the Battle of the Chesapeake, HMS Terrible.








At the other end of the scale is a Texan 18-gun Brig, the Wharton.

Covertwalrus:

 Splendid work there!

Ruckdog:
Those look great! I wouldn't know they were made out of paper if you hadn't said anything ;)

Weirdo:
176 years ago today, the sloop Austin and brig Wharton of the Republic of Texas Navy set sail and engaged Mexican steam-powered ironclads loaded with brand-new explosive shells. By the time the battle was done, the Mexican ships were forced back to port, and would not set out again for the remainder of the campaign. It is the ONLY time in history that sail beat steam.
