And the answer is......
The same molds will be used, so the dimensions of the models will be the same
I have asked the question
I had a chat with Roberto via Messenger this afternoon. Here's the latest news on "Sails".
The plan to move manufacturing to the new supplier is in hand, but as is the way of things is taking...
Welcome aboard, its good to have you here :drinks:
Happy Christmas everybody :)
I took my naval architecture and marine engineering students there last Spring, everyone thoroughly enjoyed it. Its one of the best maritime and naval museums I've ever been to (and I've visited the...
An interesting aside for those that don't know already but Broke's name is pronounced "Brook" :)
Hi all, I noticed Rif Winfield's excellent book on French warships in the age of sail is on sale at the following web book store for £19.99 rather than £60

The damage from collision rules, in particular the aspect of only being damaged by collisions with your own ships, was a game mechanic aimed at penalizing players for poor ship handling. My...
Hi all, just a reminder that its the Naval Wargames Weekend at the Fleet Air Arm Museum, Yeovilton, this weekend. I'm there with a modern naval game ("CQB"), and possibly with some Brazilian and...
I've found Mek Pak glue works really well as it effectively "welds" the surfaces back together again.
"Maybe the rules somehow do reflect not the real situations perfectly in that aspect, because of course the battle line was common in historic situations"
Plotting a card ahead makes linear...
I ran into Chris later in the day, still no luck chatting with Roberto as he was deep in demoing War of the Ring. The Sails and Wings demo games were pretty poor, it must be said. They weren't even...
Very sad news, he will be sorely missed :salute:
Lots of 3D ACW naval models. I seem to have developed something of an addiction!
Welcome aboard Lily. I hope your studies are going well. I've started on the 3D modelling journey, although most of my modelling is currently focussed on 1/600 and 1/1200 American Civil War naval...
I'd expect redefining the upper bound of the stat lines to allow much better resolution of detail for smaller vessels. I did something similar for frigate actions in "Sails" and, before that in FLOB,...
This is most likely the long-proposed pirate range which is likely to mean models in a different scale
I find that an air temperature in the room of between 18 and 22 C gives satisfactory conditions for printing in resin. Any lower and failures start to occur. An importand aspect is to ensure your...
Thanks :)
Could you post the links please? I've found some martello towers, but not the farm (its based on La hay Sainte at Waterloo)
There are a number of sets of small scale buildings on Thingiverse and other 3D modelling sites that work well in 1/1000. What is lacking is gun batteries. I've kncked up a couple but they are more...
Yes, its an excellent book and is, I think, essential reading for anyone who wants to understand how naval battles of the period developed as they did.
I've not found one yet. Reading action reports seems to be the best bet -
