You are right about the lower Chesapeake, Rob. The water down there almost looks like ocean water sometimes. 150 miles to the north, however, it has days when it looks like coffee with too much...

:happy: That's why I feel so comfortable playing on the table on Grace with no mat. I feel it captures the color.

Thanks, Vol! Suzanne and I picked it because it reminds us of sailing in the Caribbean. That's the color ocean should be!:happy:

:happy: I can't wait till we can use them together! Here's the latest developments:

Suzanne suggested blue felt as a playing surface. She thought it might be less slippery than vinyl. ...

I've placed my bid and got my fingers crossed for your Tunstall!

I'll post as soon as I can. It may be a few days. I have to go through and edit it so as to make sure it makes sense if I'm not there. Of course, if you have any questions just ask.

An instant gratification test.

:happy: I thought about making the cliffs white, Bill, but decided to go understated instead.

The sod farm delivered today and now I have grass! Next up, a delivery of sand and rocks from the quarry...

I'm glad you like them, Zythe. Mainly what I was trying to convey is that, as a ship receives damage, you mark it off on the side hit row by row from top to bottom. If a single chit exceeds the...

I was a beginner before your posts, Rob. I had never made terrain before. Thanks to your guidance I have expanded my hobby skills.

WooHoo! I suppose champagne is in order since it is a new year!:medal::clap:

For keeping your 1/1000 ships similar to the Ares ones, having the headsails and spanker drawing as though the ship is on a port tack would be good. Heck, there might be a market for new headsails...

Thank you, gentlemen. It is foam, Vol. I use home insulation foam. I believe that's 3/4" thick. The bases are 2mm styrene from Evergreen.

It's all Bligh's fault. Here's the link to his...

The first of three waves of new land is making slow progress, but I'm excited!

It's interesting that the RN didn't stick with the big carronade ships for long. I wonder why?

David, that's a pretty ship, but I think she predates our period.
I think this is the 1795 Glatton:

Did Egmont ever get used for anything historically? I'm thinking that your plan of a conventional ship to wound and then let her chew is what the Admiralty had in mind.

She's definitely an...

It has bugged me that carronades were fairly common throughout our period, but not well reflected in the game.

After a bit of research, it seems to me that, other than vessels with primarily...

I signed up for the core set of 1/1000 printed ships. I assumed that they came with masts and sails. Does anyone know if this is true?

I don't quite follow the stretch goals. Am I eligible for...

For your magnets, DM, try Mcmaster Carr. Just type that in to your search engine and then go to magnets. They have 1/4" and smaller.

Alright! I'm onboard for the 1/1000 models.

Good luck to you, Henry! ...for my own selfish reasons...:happy:

I've been following your work since the Anglo-Dutch wars and wishing for your...

I finished my card caddy today. Constitution is included for scale.

I think that they were a relatively new concept at the beginning of the 19th century and probably added at the taste of the commanding officer.

The technology of sailing was evolving rapidly and...

For some time now, I've been working on rules for voyaging. This picture shows my most recent progress. It involves 2 decks, one for the weather and one for spotting, plus a 3rd deck for special...

I don't understand. Are Ceres and Fee two American ships?
