OP was last seen in February 2023. :(
Keith thought it to be too much time, effort, cost and code skill for him to do but I had proposed taking all the Anchorage member and post ID's, and writing a script to give them an offset. Say, if...
Never happen, too much "giving up creative control."
Easy mistake to make, happens to me occasionally too. :o Main point is, would the community accept a single shared sculpt for all of those? Admittedly, Simon and Henry sculpt not just class or family...
I need to start moving my research over... BW, just found this gem in Lavery's The Ship of the Line 1650-1850....
Basically that means highlight the content of your target post here, copy it, go to a new thread on the Aerodome once we can get Keith to set up the lifeboat, and paste the copied content there. I'm...
Dobbs, I think Henry Turner tried to make some of his designs have "Ares Style" versions. If you remember the ones I was working on a few years ago, those were from that.
Combine that with the 49m-ish smalle and older 74's, and the sculpt may be salvageable. Meregildos is a total loss though.
Maybe it'll pick up when (if) the promised rerelease Starters drop, especially if they adopted my proposal to add a second version with all new names and decoes.
I'd be down to chip in some towards Anchorage migration, but no chance of me coming up with the full four grand or even 10% of it. :( Keith should really take a look at GiveSendGo or GoFundMe, maybe...
Some updates, as I just sent to Rob at Ares:
1. The San Vicente Ferrer group of 80's are very close structurally and sizewise the the "Juan System" 74' designed by Eduardo Bryant--only five feet...
Not so much, I'll just indulge in another fine old naval-bureaucracy (well, bureaucracy in general) tradition and find some other accounts to skim from to pay for it...
"You can arm yourself,...
Think pirates be carin' about reservations much, do ye, matey?
Three P's: Plunder, Pillage, PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRty!
Roger that, will mind the store.
*turning aside* You heard the man, the Admiralty's private reserve is open for business, boys! YARRRRR!
Not "seemed," Ares deliberately CHOSE to overpower them for some reason beyond my ken. :( And IMO did a great disservice to the memory of the men who crewed those ship in doing so, in that presenting...
Bumped with an update at close of the Early Bird packages! Y'all got two more weeks for anyone interested...
Considerably more once Henry's KS closes and I get a 3d-printer system set up.
Our old friend Mr. Turner has just launched a new Kickstarter for the British and Spanish ships of Trafalgar. Early Bird discount (~$77US for the "both fleets combo") expires in 2 days, end date in...
Trivia: Part of the name is because after a collision, she had to have a significant portion of the bow section of unfinished USS Kentucky transplanted - if memory serves most of the way back to...
The Big Beast is still slowly making progress on my workbench--just need to find the right trigger and order the action group and the bottom half will only need finish.
The top... well, it's going...
Was Nelson on that frigate? Other than the help from ashore it's uncannily reminiscent of his opening salvo into Bucentaure at Trafalgar...
Ditto what Rob and Jonas said. Sometimes the hardest part of detailing is knowing when it's time to stop. :)
Digesting Spanish Warships in the Age of Sail and trying to put together some notes on aces of the WWII PTO and suggested abilities. If Ares takes my suggestions, we may occasionally see Wings...
The other question is, should this be treated as Unique to Broke, or a Crew/Equipment ability? Did anybody else follow his example, or did later captains of Shannon continue the practice?
...
Hmm... maybe HMS Shannon, for each chit thrown, draws two and selects which one gets applied? (Chit by chit, this means on a 3 broadside draw two and apply one, draw another pair and apply one,...
