The ice schooners cometh...
The ice schooner fleet is assembling in the Disputed Valley.Boats have been fixed upon runners,rafts assembled,gunpowder barrels gathered and cannon cleaned in preparation. The winter fleet will patrol the frozen lakes and wider rivers.All that is needed is the addition of masts and sails then the fleet will be ready...
I have had a good day not at work- coffee & cream scones whilst out with Jan,some work completed,the ice schooners built and helping my daughter think about her 6th form dissertation on three Gothic novels and time to read too.
Interesting and great looking model !.
ReplyDeleteAn original form of 'exoticism': compliments!
ReplyDeleteWould not such ice schooners be useful in Ny Tradgarland in the deep of winter?
A clever idea, well executed. Perhaps something Litharus should look into for the winter months when much of the Baltic freezes.
ReplyDeleteWonderful stuff - drawn by reindeer?

Great idea. Do you remember the ice schooner painting by Rodney Matthews? As for the Gothic novels, I am rather partial to them myself, so would enjoy that piece of work.
