Rembrandt and the Dutch golden age

Last weekend we decided to visit the NSW Art Gallery to celebrate Vanessa and my wedding anniversary. A number of the paintings depicted Naval actions from the Four Days Naval Battle (11-14 June 1666) during the Anglo-Dutch war of 1666-1672. The Dutch artist Willem van de Velde the elder painted a lot of naval scenes, with great detail for wargamers.

Republican Roman Legion

Finally after two years I have finished basing my republican romans for impetus, these chaps will possibly be sold in my reorganisation of my collection this year, another project off the to do list.

Fokker G1 1/72nd

I have been looking for this model for some time and finally picked one up on a second hand stall for $10, now I need to wait for a resin engine detail kit and scratch build the interior and then build the beggar. Vacform kits can be tough so it will possibly take me a month to complete because of the work involved, looking forward to messing up a German picnic with it in the future!
