Ship Models

For the truly insane ship builder, check out the Victory and Bounty kits:

Those are mantle piece models.

I have no frame of reference for them.

Has anyone here ever built such a model?

Over 10 months to complete! I wonder how many hours that turned out to be? Pretty amazing!

I agree, insane is the correct word. (unless you're not talking to your wife, or locked up somewhere)

Incredible build, amazing skills, little to big to game with mind you.

I never have, but I have wanted to for quite a number of years. Expensive kits though.

Way over my budget!

Too much grog, what is the established scale for these ships again? 1/1000 or 1/1200? Clipper looking for his sanity . . . what? Never had it? Yikes! Its worse than I thought . . .

Ares Sails of Glory is 1/1000 scale. Many of the ships you'll see here until the game goes live are GHQ or Langton Napoleonic's, which are 1/1200. You'll also see some great examples of 1/300, also from Langton.

And that 1:300 scale Victory is $500.00
