Custom sailing rig, and two small cannon.
A little fun with Photoshop helped me get the name 'painted' on... Named for the captains sweet-heart
... ( Actually the shipwrights daughter!)
And with her salty sea dog crew.
She fits eight crew, with the two cannon. Two more perhaps at a push...
Arr, keep a weather eye open and bring that horizon towards me... Yo ho me hearties, and really bad eggs! ;-)
Update: 13/6/11 - clever work with photoshop:
Thanks to Rodger!
Nice Model, the crew looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteVery cool, Scott. We'll have to have a game soon. I'm thinking about a pirate junk for my Chinese...
ReplyDeleteLooking very good Scott. Your sea has turned very well too.
ReplyDeleteArr, that be a fine vessel, Cap'n Scott.
ReplyDeleteThanks Guys, She's been a fair bit of work, but well worth it.
ReplyDelete@ Rodger - I must admit the sea was a trick I learned from Fusilier Roly, but it does work nicely in photographs. If I could just figure out how to dump the sky in as a backdrop, it would be complete. Any whizz kids on photoshop care to show me how?
@ Colonel - a Chinese junk say? That would certainly turn a few heads and would bring in the themes of Pirates of the Caribbean 3.
The more I have worked on this project, the more fascinated I have become with things of a nautical sailing nature. There's just something so beautifully romantic and evocative about sailing ships...
I have even been looking at my Corsairs ship and thinking, I bet I can do better now...
But first up I still must finish the Brig. However I did make a start on the dock/town games board today. With luck may have it done for next weekend...
Hi Scott. I will scan a page from a book that will show you exactly how to do it. You will be suprised just how eazy it is. I will email it to you.
ReplyDeleteCool, thanks Rodger!
