Roger Pellett Posted January 17, 2024 #1 Posted January 17, 2024 My completely unscientific understanding of MSW members leads me to believe that a substantial majority have a compelling interest in modeling vessels of the Lord Nelson era Navies.😀 This is particularly true if one adds American War of 1812 ships to the mix. SO!! Here’s your chance! M.S. Rau an antique dealer in New Orleans is advertising in the Wall Street Journal a rediscovered portrait of Admiral Horatio Nelson as a young man. It is supposedly only one of two portraits of him in civilian attire. Just the thing to display over your recently completed HMS Victory. If you have the space to display a fully rigged Victory, this picture w I’ll fit in nicely. Width: 30-3/8”. Height: 39-3/4” Roger CraigVT, Knocklouder, bruce d and 3 others 6

Roger, I think you've got a pretty good grasp of the demons that drive us.

Roger Pellett Posted January 17, 2024 Author #4 Posted January 17, 2024 Yeah, no price listed but I suspect that you guys could add a whole Nelsonian fleet of kits for what they’re asking. Canute, mtaylor and thibaultron 3
uss frolick Posted January 17, 2024 #5 Posted January 17, 2024 Yet most of the kits and the POF plans are for the American Revolution, or earlier ... 🤔 Can you imagine if Harold Hahn had drawn POF plans for the President, Essex or Hornet, instead? Canute, mtaylor and Roger Pellett 3
