Here's an experiment. I converted the Queen Anne's Revenge Flag I made in MS Publisher to a .jpg. Would this file type work as a file upload? I've been using a labeling tool in MS Publisher which is why there are four flags. I'm assuming you could load this .jpg into any program for sizing and printing? Then just cut out the flag bend over a thread using some white glue and you have a flag. Depending on ink and paper you can reform the flag to your preference.
Hey Andy, that is some awesome work!!!! I do need to check which deck the ship I converted uses, not sure if it is C or something else. Thank you so much for putting this together. I am traveling right now but when I get home I will track down the maneuver deck.
If you guys keep this up, we might have to have a special Pirate section here on the forums.
A separate pirate game set in the Golden Age of Piracy would probably do well. It could use the current game system or something similar to it. It would be like WGF and WGS, similar but different. A Kickstarter would do well if Ares wanted to finance it that way.
I think they are going to stick to historic pirates. But fictional and embellished pirates ships could be come a very popular hobby aspect. I actually think they would do well to license Pirates of the Caribbean (they already license LotR) and do a full range in that setting. Pirates are very popular as we all know and going to the fictional side of things allows lots of options that would not otherwise be available. Build in a little bit of role play or captain building and they would be staring at a chest full of gold!
Hi Andy, I used the HMS Concorde 1783 for the Queen Anne's revenge.
Could you please change the Manuever deck to A? Then it will be ready
To print and play. Thank you once again for doing this.
Bartholomew Roberts (17 May 1682 – 10 February 1722), born John Roberts, was a Welsh pirate who raided ships off the Americas and West Africa between 1719 and 1722. He was the most successful pirate of the Golden Age of Piracy, as measured by vessels captured, taking over 470 prizes in his career. He is also known as Black Bart (Welsh: Barti Ddu), but this name was never used in his lifetime. In the novel The Princess Bride and its film adaptation, protagonist Westley dons the mantle of the Dread Pirate Roberts, a mythical figure inspired by Bartholomew Roberts.

Roberts main ship was the Royal Fortune, of which he had several over the course of his career. The Royal Fortune is my latest pirate repaint. I used the SoG starter set ship Courageuse 1778 as the base for this interpretation. Cheers!
Jim, outstanding work-the red really stands out. Did you post already on how you added all the rigging and additional lines ans where you got the supplies to make them?
That red & black paint scheme looks great.
Ahoy Jaime,
How does these look?

Jim,
Amazing as always sir. I really like the look of the red and the weathered sails. I will have your ship card and stats later this evening or tomorrow.:salute:
Andy
Thanks! The rigging is directly from Rod Langton's book on painting and rigging Age of Sail ships. Check out this thread on our site for the book and information on supplies as well: http://www.sailsofglory.org/content....-HMS-Sovereign
One place I know of you can purchase the book: http://waterloominis.com/oscommerce/...roducts_id=242
Thanks Andy! There's no rush. I've got more touch up work to do and many other ships lined up for assembly and painting.
These look fantastic. Another job well done. Thanks again Andy for updating these.
Amazing stuff can be found here :salute:
Bravo!
I printed out the ship card and mat. Please find a photo taken from an iPhone. Andy you do amazing work. Attachment 8937

Jim, Here are the ship base card and ship stat card for the Royal Fortune. I hope they do your fine ship justice.

Hi Andy,
The ship card and log look great!! Thanks very much for doing this. I'm going to be busy with a model railroad show so I probably wont get any printing and photos done until early next week. Thanks again!! :thumbsup:
Argg, the repaint look awesome. Andy the cards and logs are great. And I approve of a pirate section :beer:
Great work on the card, Andy.
The used bookstore by my house is clearing out quite a few books. I stopped by there today, and I saw a decent sized collection of model and real locomotive/railroad type books. If you're looking for anything, let me know. I will stop by there again next week and can take a look for you.
It's finally warmed up enough so I can go back to the basement work area and start working again on SoG repaints, etc. Here are two photos of the Black Pearl and Royal Fortune and the other two repaints I've managed to date. Custom card work by Andy. I've not cut out the ship log that Andy did or a new label for the Royal Fortune's other base, but that will come soon, if it stays warm enough. Cheers!

Awesome work Jim!
these are so awesome!!!! wish I was talented enough to do this!!!
Nice. Are there duplicate cards already?
Really great looking fleet! Awesome!:Arrrr:
Well, another ship has joined the Pirate Fleet. However, this ship, captain and crew answer to no ones navy; pirate or otherwise. I give you the Flying Dutchman (text below is from Wikipedia). Cheers! :happy:

The Flying Dutchman is a legendary ghost ship that can never make port and is doomed to sail the oceans forever. The myth is likely to have originated from 17th-century nautical folklore. The oldest extant version dates to the late 18th century. Sightings in the 19th and 20th centuries reported the ship to be glowing with ghostly light. If hailed by another ship, the crew of the Flying Dutchman will try to send messages to land, or to people long dead. In ocean lore, the sight of this phantom ship is a portent of doom.
P.S. Sure hope those custom Anchorage ratlines would hurry up and get here?
