Title: Flensee - Dangshat - Captain Cook
Post by: marko on September 29, 2019, 06:09:12 PM

This is a stunning set Mr. Nick Ball kindly picked for me at Kulmbach 2019.  It depicts Captain Cook on his last expedition to the South Seas.

Also included is a nice write up from the BFFS Journal originally announcing the set was available from Braunschweiger then Dangshat and now Flensee.

The journal has several excellent articles on Captain Cook's lnteresting life and voyages.  Finally, there is a fine example by Bistulfi showing the set painted.
