Saw an amazing 28 mil game display at Broadside based on the Khartoum Campaign.
Have a look at this scratchbuilt gunboat. Amazing.
Regular readers of my pearls of wisdom know that I am spending a deal of time in the Sudan at the moment. I just have to build some gunboats. Has to be done, chaps. Pip, Pip.

This is a clip of the gunboat sequence from the film Khartoum on Youtube. It is excellent. I really must build one of these.
