good luck with the manned model build ! |
Yep for you ,brain-washed at an early age, it always works. But if it is manned models that goes back a while...to Roman times in fact. They used to have fight to the death "battles" in flooded arenas as big as the Coliseum in Rome. The sailors were criminals, slaves and gladiators. Do a google search for Numachia. The RN have a less bloodthirsty tradition going back to early last century for recruiting.
