Great idea, Ron! The Eagle would be a great subject.

Combining HL with AB might give sales of the AB line a real shot in the arm. The AB might need to be a "mini" to match the HL scale, though (or how about an upscaled HL? Like 18" tall? Kind of a vertical Navesink! Hmmmm. Move over, Dr. Mudd). We have been looking for a 19th century cutter, sloop, schooner or any kind of sailing vessel that (a) looks great and (b) is done in the correct scale to the lighthouses (or at least doesn't make the HL line look Lilliputian). How do the rest of you feel about a mini Anchor Bay v. a maxi Harbour Lights? Personally, I think I'd like the mini AB, so it fits the scale of most of the HL line.
Besides, I'd have to take an entire shelf out of a curio cabinet to house "The Big 'Un". And *that's* the most valuable real estate in Tennessee!
