So do I. For me my TS budget will have to make this the proverbial slow boat to China.

I wish we had some sailors working on the dock/jetty loading and unloading cargo, for example, and we certainly need some having fun in a local bar
How about a Dragon Lady figure straight out of Terry & The Pirates? What do you think Andy ?

"Searching for Clues"

Using shallow draft steam launches, squad size landing parties of the 4th Marines patrol the Yangtze River searching for clues and information that might help in locating the missing sailor. Here an armed steam launch approaches a Chaguan (tea house) called the Garden of Lingering Happiness. It has been long suspected that this is a front for the black market and smuggling.

This is your masterpiece. Superior linking of "water" under the boat and what is in the photo backdrop.

"Meanwhile . . . . . "

While the US Navy is intensifying their investigation the rest of the international community is becoming more vigilant. All of the Legations have increased their security at their compounds. A British sailor gets a "spit shine" before going back to his gunboat, while another sailor stands guard at the British Consulate's gateway.

Shown are K&C sets #IC027 Chinese Imperial Gateway, #HK155 Shoeshine Set, #FOB047 At Attention British Sailor (top of cover repainted white), and #SP029 Jetty

 

[mikemiller1955]

Mike...love that gateway...what a majestic piece...the photo is beautiful too...as always...keep up the good work...nice thread.

 

[Lewey Gun Vick]

Love it Mike!
