not sure why you can't comment on the blog. DOB can't either. I will ask the VA Oracle
Could be a case with Browser Pop up Blocker. Might be no harm if you check this in your Browser.
If I knew what a browser was and where to find it? I would try that but it seems strange that I can post here without any problems.
It all depends how "Popup-invested" a website is.
Even if I know that Dave is presenting himself now as older as he looks...
Browser - Firefox, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer... you name it

Added some reinforcements to my nascent fleets (

Two more Dutch ships and one English (they are starting to feel very outnumbered!)

After moaning about Barry's use of Xebecs in the free example 4Play scenario pack*, I decided to build my own 1/450 models...
The whole sorry procedure on my Workbench blog

Seems you have got your hands full on a modelling scale
1/450th Scale you say? Pretty large. You know those two Companies and their 1/450th Ranges I presume
https://minairons.eu/en/76-1-600-catalogue - 1/450th is part of that
and

Yes, it’s mainly the fault of Peter Pig that I am doing this scale. Luckily Galleys and Galleons allows for a variety of scales and table sizes.

The first Xebec finished. And how I got there (

I have given the base a flat coat of blue just for the photo tbh. I usually add waves from epoxy putty but I just ran out of Milliput. Any other suggestions of what to use gratefully received.
