I finished Gunner's third ship tonight, the Bonhomme Richard. On this one I left the deck alone except for plugging the old flag pole hole in the aft deck, and repainted the hull. For some reason...

Well that is one formidable looking xebec Rob! Excellent mod! Did you say what you used for the frill ties across the top edge of the sails, or did I miss it?

The xebec is looking exceptionally good in my opinion

Rob, in 1/1200 scale scratch building I use monofiliment fishing line painted black for cannon barrels. Cut in segments for cannon: 4lb test are 6 pdrs; 8lb test are 9 pdrs; 12lb test are 12 pdrs;...

The ship is looking like a xebec, so that's a good thing!

What is the primed xebec to the left? I am assuming you are useing it as as your model?

Wow! Every one of your terrain pieces I think is the best one I've ever seen! Until you create the next one! Tremendous!

Very nice Ferrante! What is the xebec ship in the background? Not an Ares SOG ship surely? Perhaps a 3D ship?

Port Sven, great name for a Moroccan port, I love it!
This is truly beautiful Rob! Now all you need is a population like Julian's Cuban town.

Guys, I didn't do the artwork. That's the Ares stern. All I did was put a touch of blue-silver in the windows.

Yes, for several years now we thought I was alergic to the cat, then the cat passed away and we thought it was moulds, the Christmas tree, dust, etc. It is worse in the winter and pretty much...

Rob, I forgot to ask what are those cylinder things in amongst the palms?

I am also alergic Rob. Although my reaction is not as severe unless I use copious amounts. Unfortunately I have found nothing as convenient or fast acting as the Cyanoacrylate glues. We are not...

Dang they are nice! You are fortunate to to live so near Julian and have easy access to all of the cool stuff he sells. The postal costs are prohibitive to Washington.

Are these palm trees from Julian?

Wow Rob! This looks amazing! I wish I had your skill, time, and room!

There is an oared galley in the Baltic section, along with quite a few additional oared vessels including a shebek and half shebek:

SR15
Galley*(40 oars)
3-masted with lateen sails.
Pre 1796,...

Ok, I see it now. Good plan. I didn't know Rod had a furled lateen sail set. I may need to check that out.

Rob, I have a qick qestion about the xebecs you're building. Are you planning to base them for SOG? Will they be a bit small?

Thank you Ferrante, and your Alger port expansion is very nice!

I finished Gunner's Ville de Varsovie tonight.
I added rails aft of the main chains to tie off the back stays and heads to the bow. I also added a little blue silver to the windows to cover...

It just keeps getting better and better Rob!

Rob, you and Julian make me feel so inadequate! :envy:
I believe I need to see the ship's councilor. Oh wait, wrong time period!:cry:

Looking sooooooo good Rob!
