Back, again?

I am trying to get my wargaming 'sea legs' back!

A new arrival has piqued my interest:


These are 1/1200 ship models from Spithead Miniatures for the Haitian Revolution (Salnave's War) of 1867.  Also pictured above is an ACW 90-day gunboat and USS Benton.

To accompany these wonderful models, I picked up a copy of this:


This slender book is a concise source of information for the vessels and battles at sea during the revolution, including maps and drawings of all the ships present.

    Welcome back to blogging! The Haitian stuff looks interesting. I wish Spithead miniatures had a better way of showing their figures.
