Earlier in 2016 I finished building and painting my back log of 1:600 scale American Civil War naval models. What an accomplishment! I was able to move forward and wrap up the 1;144 WWI airplane project and begin focusing on the 25mm Sikh War project.
And then, that quote from the Godfather III pops up.
While at Fall In 2016 in November, I found two 1:600 Ellet Ram models in the flea market. Okay, great - I could use more rams.
And then a few weeks ago, a friend gifted me with his unpainted, mint in box collection of 1:600 Thoroughbred Figures kits.
And just like that, I've got a backlog of ACW models to work through again. It's a good thing there were 28 ships in the Sassacus class, because at this rate, I may end up with all of the them!

| A Thoroughbred Miniatures ram, but with different stacks than the stock kit. Still a good gaming model. |
 |
| And a stock Ellet ram, with a good primer coat laid down. |

| Huzzah! A third Ellet Ram! |
 |
| Another one! |
 |
| You always need more tugs and barges! |
 |
| Another Sassacus class double ender! |
 |
| Again? Guess we'll have to reinforce the Carolina coastal squadron. |
 |
| Back to the Mississippi! |
