Till we get the game I am trying out my mini skills on ships. Here's first go at it, hope you enjoy! There were two but one got "shipped" offshore down under.

My usual materials, bass wood hull, scored, stained, coated with clear lacquer. Masts from spruce rod. Sails from Japanese tissue, lined with a pencil, sealed with artist fixative. Rigging is surgical silk.

Needs a base! Been dropped a few times, hard on the rigging and the crew.

A bit early, 1545, and a larger scale, but these things are easy to knock out. Now to dig out my shipwright books!
