1/1000" scale Xebec Chibi and HMS Surprise - very nice prints! Might get me going in the ships shop
With Thorne for comparison

Gather the Sea Elves!
Very interesting! Nice addition of the stay sails on the Surprise. :thumbsup:
I bet they will be helpful in protecting the masts by providing some support.Quote:

"Chibi"? Oh, gods, did I ever get the Wrong Image.... :)
Your Xebec Chibi has lost its foremast. Attachment 20407Attachment 20408
Have you complained to Shapeways, David?
Yeah, it broke off in the bag and I did not notice it until last week, so I just made a new sail/mast unit

Cardstock, and a bit of wire did the trick!

After this experience I like the home made sail better and with the rough printed surface a pain to work with I plan on skipping the 3D models and building from scratch, much less hassle!

Those look great! I'm sure a single one of them could destroy every ship at Trafalgar single handedly.
Without even getting into range.:cannonboom:Quote:

I have to agree Hugh, that is probably true.
The more modern artifacts of warfare often look exceedingly sinister.
