May I pre-order enough for 2 Captain's packs and a Lieutenant pack? Possibly to be included with my pending order of WGF?

May I pre-order enough for 2 Captain's packs and a Lieutenant pack? Possibly to be included with my pending order of WGF?
Hi Zoe, I'm not quite ready to put them on pre-order yet.
I'd easily drop $10 per ship for these. The time saved at my end to have properly sized ratlines that I could quickly paint/drop into place would be worth every dime. I bought into the Captain level and I'll be doubling my fleets within the next month. You can consider me a customer right from the get go for every ship I have =D
Thanks Alyssa. I should have the test ratlines by the end of the month for everyone to see, well, second hand!
Hi,
I am new on this site. i'll be interested to place order. Have you a term ?

The stainless looks fantastic - more to scale than the brass. I'm in for a complete set for all wave 1 if the price stays at $3.75 per ship. Great job.
What takes paint better, brass or stainless? I would think, brass.
Yes, this is about what I expected. We've got 17 "when can I buy them" people in this thread with a couple more looking really hard at them. While that is pretty small cross section of the market, it's enough try at least one production run of them. As with anything, the more people start to see them out there on table on on different sites, sells will go up.
I've had no problems painting stainless PE when I use it on plastic display models, although I usually use enamels. On these rat lines, I will probably break the surface with steel wool, and add a couple matte clear coats afterwards. I use an airbrush - probably just paint them before cutting them out. Stainless is much stronger, but must be annealed (with a bic lighter) before you can bend it - no bending required here, of course.
I'd like a set for captain's pledge as well. When do these go on pre-order?
I still don't have my shipment from Ares though - tracking shows it as stuck in customs since the start of the week! :sad:
I am interested, too. Will give more realistic look to the ships.
Count me in. I've got one of each ship so I'll take 4 of each.
Definitely count me in for a dozen ships' worth...great work!
For demo game purposes, I want to have ships in various stages of pimping, ranging from factory stock to tricked out with painting enhancements, ratlines and maybe even rigging. I figure it will be a cool way to show the players what they are purchasing and then also show them what fun they can have customizing.
Keith, with Ares announcement concerning Wave 2 ships will they provide you with production models soon enough so you can start planning the custom ratlines for all these new sculpts? The 1st rates look like they'll be quite large on the bases.
I'm trying to get production samples ahead of time, but they only get one or two of each sculpt. So often times there is not any spares to send my way :(
New here...... but I am assuming the ratlines are not yet available?
What about the pint glasses?!!!!
I can add the pint glasses to the AA site at anytime, but I was looking to see if I could reasonably add some artwork of a ship to the other side like I do the Aerodrome glasses... it's turning out not to be such an easy or quick thing :(
I am eagerly looking forward to the brass ratlines, but am not clear on how they will be sold. Will they be on the Anchorage Store or will they be special orders through Royal Hajj?
I am the Anchorage Store :wink:
I'm in for enough to do the starter set and depending on how the modelling goes more afterwards.
Thanks for your hard work... Now, please sir. TAKE MY MONEY! :)

Ed, I'm starting to think by some of your recent posts that you should be flying the Jolly Roger as you avatar these days. lol
The only royalty around here is me! lol
<-----
The only difference between a Pirate and Regular navy is how many layers of bureaucracy are above one. >;)
And the only difference between a Pirate and a Royal is... ah, who are we kidding, there ain't none, never has been, never will be.
Like the man sang:

Keeping an eye here, as I'm also interested in these ratline sets.
Just thought I would mention that I have used screen for ratlines on my SOL for years. It holds up pretty well. I also experimented with sand paper - yup - you heard right. There are sheets of sand paper that have square holes in them. Cut and fit, they look alright, but they add a lot of stability to the metal masts!
