Greetings all,
I had a love for the sea and the age of sail for as long as I can remember, but being from middle of Canada I have done little to indulgent that passion.
I've owned WS&IM and a couple other games for a couple decades, but I never managed to get my friends into it, and could never justify investing in miniatures. I watched sadly as the Sails of Glory kick starter passed me and my graduate student budget by...
I've own a home-built 3D printer (Prusa Mendel) for several years, and I was recently looking for a new project to tackle with it when I stumbled on Master and Commander, began re-reading it and started modelling some printable ships. I'm sharing my work on Thingiverse (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2153911).
I'm also looking for some rules to try and get said ships onto the table. I think that I've narrowed it down to Osprey's Fighting Sail, Signal Close Action (fast play) or Bloody Broadsides, but there are so many available electronically now! I may also just bite the bullet and grab the AoS starter...
I'm here to share my work, get feedback, learn more about modelling and gaming, and hang out with some salty lads and lasses!
