Many thanks for the comments :thanks:
I only got into the 300 scale modelling when i was waiting for SGN to be released, then i said i would only do a small sloop, then when we were still...
I have just tried attaching the ratlines to my first ship. It takes a lot of patience, as these are super delicate, but they do look good when on.

The fleet looks fantastic!! You have truly done an outstanding job on the rigging, especially for only having the use of one eye! I'll have to send you all my ships to do as your doing a much better...
If your looking for a seriously accurate uniform, like Adams,
I found this online store that makes period uniforms. They are really cool, but oh so expensive!

The new rulers look great. I'm impressed this has been identified and they are replacing all the old rulers. I tried to ink in some of my rulers and stain them, buggering them up a little. I've got...
"It has a sister ship you know, who has incontinentia futtocks."
May the 4th be with me. :thumbsup: thanks.
No worries, it's probably better to learn how to rig properly, then you can choose to ignore what you want to, rather than learning it wrong from someone who is already ignoring bits. Do post some...
If it would be helpful, I could put together a quick how to video for rigging this. I was planning on rigging one french ship anyway. I certainly won't rig anymore than that though until I have a...
Congratulations!
Wow, that looks really great! Now I wish I had more than one of each ship, so I could make a pirate fleet as well.
I haven't found that. The two games i have played, one with two frigates, the other with two frigates and two SOLs, lasted around an hour each. There was a point when my opponent crashed his SOL into...
That would seem logical. Unless once the chit is drawn, it is then placed facedown on the shoal, so other ships don't know the depth until they pass over it too, but the depth is set.
As Keith spotted I didn't paint them first. I simply painted the wash directly onto the sails. Quick and easy, and almost no skill needed, because if you acidently run onto any darker areas with the...
I think Todd's idea of drawing B chits to determine shoal depth would work and keep that risk. Frigates will still run a risk of grounding, but not nearly as much of one. If being pursued by a SOL, i...
Many thanks for all the comments. :minis:
Sort of, I already built langtons 1:300 HMS victory, which had rigging instructions. I very loosely followed what i had already done on the victory,...
Following Jim's lead with HMS Terpsichore, i decided to have a go at rigging and painting HMS Goliath. I decided to wash the sails in a light brown wash. I then paint the spars black. I'm considering...
Well done indeed sir. :hatsoff:
Before the revolution the French Navy used a plain white ensign. It's not a mistake, it's by design. I prefer the tricolore on the ships, but the flags are historically accurate.
This is a great idea and makes shoals much more interesting. This will also give frigates an advantage enabling them to escape from SOLs or even lure them onto the shoals during a pursuit, then sit...
Cheers Curtis, good explanation, it makes a lot more sense explained this way. It might be worth putting your explantation of veer in the files section for when divvies like me can't quite figure it...
I'd rather it was HBO, game of thrones is really good, so was band of brothers, the wire, etc. Not all the time but most of the time, when HBO do shows they do them really well.
Thats quite helpful, i suspect when the first rates come out, that veer might be more of an issue. For now though, it just rules out wild direction changes, which is fine and as you say easier to...
I have been looking through the other ship packs, and like Fred said using certain ships you can balance the odds more, which for smaller games between evenly matched players works much better....
