Cast Iron swivel gun from HMS Pallas

We where a bit surprised to see the broad arrow which is the mark of the British military, or now the MOD. If you read how the HMS Pallas got wreck and how the Aakterkerke got wrecked its no surprise we found them close to each other. Book sales going well, hope you enjoy.

Painting the Mrk1 Rigid Raider today.

Hi We are going to paint the Mrk 1 Rigid Raider today, and sadly put it up for sale. She has been a great boat and served first her country and then us very well. She has never let us down and she has been up for every challenge. The Royal Marines don't use Rigid Raiders any more which a lot of the guys who are still in the Raiding squadron are unhappy about. I will get some photos and put them on this blog. The Chiseller has bought a nice new rib with a new 70 four stroke on it. With all the electronics and the mag we are getting this weekend. I just don't see us using the Raider much. My kids are mad with me.
