American Fleet at Santiago de Cuba, 1898

Following the Spanish fleet display, up next is the American fleet present at the Battle of Santiago Harbor.

Like the Spanish ships, the American fleet is all from the old Houston Ship line of 1/1000 or 1/1100 metal models.

I should work on rebasing the fleet since I have added a few additional ships that require basing.

Spanish Fleet at Santiago de Cuba, 1898

After dredging up the Battle of Santiago BatRep from the archives, why not dredge up my Spanish ship collection from the bottom of the bay and give them a photo shoot?

The Spanish ships are all from old Houston Ship line of 1/1000 or 1/1100 metal models.  Most of these I completed years (really decades) ago.

The paint brush has not been raised in anger for a week while I have been in the other Washington (D.C.) attending a conference.  Hopefully, I can remedy that when I return.
