Today a friend and I drove up to Mt. Nemo and back. It was spectacular!!! We left at 8:30 in the morning and got back at 11:30, and that included time to get gas and ask for directions (a road was closed). It was a pretty winding road so I took the NSX; the road was very nice all the way – parts of it were recently repaved (about 48 hours ago so it was nice and dry). All pictures were taken with my Nikon D750 and 28-300mm lens; the ISO was set at 800. Here are the pics…
Mantua 1/17 18th Century English Carronade
8/4/2017
I bought this a few months ago to go with my 1/100 Heller HMS Victory as this is a model of the carronade located on the foredeck of the Victory. This monster fired a 68 pound shot that must have been just devastating. The kit is all wood except the cast cannon and a few other small bits that are metal. It went together quite easily, you will notice the white liquid in the fire bucket. That's a water based sealer called Mod Podge; when it dries it will be clear and look like water. I was gonna wait till it dried, but I'm bored – so I took the pictures – here they are…
