Just a quick curious question, in everyones opinion, what are the best Spanish SOLs and Frigates to purchase? Im deep into french, and British already having nearly every ship and its other "usable" version. I just recently picked up two sets of Kickstarter ships as well, however, I have one single Spanish ship. Any suggestions?

Im also dropping some interesting pictures for my storage options. Figured, Id help anyone looking for a cheap option. They are 3.89 at harbor freight, and with a pair of scissors are pretty easy to make usable for protecting our Fleets!

Secondly, I have a spare set of Charismatic Captain Cards if anyone is interested in getting a set!44407444074440844409

Welcome to the Anchorage, Clinton, from here 'across The Pond' in the United Kingdom. That is a useful looking storage system. Will you be adding some padding to each compartment to reduce lateral movement? If you explore this site you will find several methods for repairing broken masts.

As for which Spanish ships to buy, if you lived over here, the answer would be "whatever you can find". I suspect that the availability will be better in the U.S.A..

Hey Naharaht or David which ever you prefer,

In fact I have a useful foamie, trick I can post as well tomorrow when they are transported. Essentially, I make a tube of foam and it is just tight at the tops of the masts to ensure they dont twist and move. So far, its worked well. I spend time playing now, with a friend who lives approximately thirty minutes away. I do a lot of transporting as he is just building a fleet, I usually sell or give him a couple. I have been extremely lucky and gotten ahold of most the British and French ships so far. This includes two pristine sets of kickstarter ships, so I have two copies of each ship. I also, have come across, five of the promo captains decks just in case someone is searching!

As for the Spanish, I have a lone single ship and have not used it. I did not want to go "canon Balls" deep and buy them if certain ships were more prized. As it stands now, i can get Most of the 72/74 gun Spanish ships, and the 112s? Like Santa Ana etc for $160 usd, being 10 ships in the bundle. Sound worth the money? I will also say I am into collecting at this point too, and as a secondary non-related question are there any diy weathering paint jobs posts? I purchased a Victory that had rigging and was already weathered, its amazing in comparison and would not mind replicating it.

Thanks
