  • SGN and Langton miniatures Ratlines

    Due to lack of other means to add ratlines to the SGN ships I have used the brass etched ratlines used by 1/1200 modellers from Langton miniatures.

    The following is a list of ratlines best suited for our ships

    note not perfect fit as they are for a different scale and model and some do need cutting down and others need strategic placing and angling, but they do enhance once in place.
    For them to work and look the part you will need to paint the fighting tops black and be prepared to come down the mast a couple of rings so the ends do not show up.
    In the next week or so I will add another thread showing how I use the ratlines and how to place.

    In the meantime

    Ares pack. Langton part number

    SGN101. PE6
    SGN102. PE1
    SGN103 PE6
    SGN104 PE1
    SGN105 PE4
    SGN106 PE2 and PE9 Use the PE9 for the centre mast, then use PE2 to fill up using the ratlines for one mast lower, ie Main mast ratlines now go on foremast, foremast use on mizzen mast, or top of main mast, which ever takes your preference and looks right.
    One set of PE9 thus gives the centre set of ratlines for two ships
    SGN107 PE10
    SGN108 PE2 and PE9 same as SGN106
    SGN109 PE3
    SGN110 PE4
    SGN111 PE1
    SGN112 PE1
    SGN113 PE3/4
    SGN114 PE6
    SGN115 PE2
    SGN116 cant say, not got this model so dont know.
    If anyone has questions feel free to ask but to show what they look like here are some of my ships rigged and ratlined.

    Thanks, Dave.



    Glad to be of service. Thanks for the rep.

    By the way, you can tell Suzanne I found a way

    Glorious, Paul! Thank you very much. That's exactly the information I was looking for. Now I'll just extrapolate the Roebuck. I'm picturing somewhere

    As I'd hoped, if it was of no use someone who does know would pop over the horizon and Paul has done the honours. I agree it was a fun read too, well

    Figure no stronger than Undated Speculative BHR as your ceiling. I wanna say we figured she'd be packing small guns but a LOT of them, maybe equivalent

    I hope this is readable. There's a bit of glare from the overhead light though. Let me know if there's something you can't make out. I've done photos

    That was a fun read, Dave, but the information I am looking for ws obscured by damage on the Bonhomme Richard and Isis is a Portland, so the next size

    A very interesting scenario as usual Dobbs.

    Not my area of expertise, Dobbs, but are the stats you seek in the images of this thread ?:

    My BHR is on the other side of the county in Storage, but I'd say a Roebuck should be pretty comparable to that, only about a slight advantage. Serapis

    If someone could post stats for the Bonhomme Richard or any of the East Indiamen too, I discovered that I don't have those either.

    The cutters are so lively that when they're played by the AI, I have them sail at no more than 7 knots under fighting sail, rather than the 9

    Ares came out with the Bonhomme Richard, but no Serapis. Has anyone com up with conjectural stats for a Roebuck 44? I thought the Portland mini would

    That Zeppelin Raider game sounds pretty cool! I am a sucker for zeppelins.

    Great scenario. I will try that once I finish fiddling with my Zeppelin Raider game.

    A sharp action, Dobbs, those cutters are lively beggars aren't they !
    Like the conversion too.

    A few years back I converted a sloop into a whaler to add variety to my ship collection. While I enjoyed its existence, I never made a scenario for it
