Chinese Castles

Hi,
I picked up a couple of Chinese Castles (1/1200) on my travels. We are going to adapt them for SoG, where can I get some cannon to put on the platform? Also my son is going to rig our models- what would you recommend he do, any good threads. He is a good modeller/painter unlike his old man.

Hi Peter.
You can obtain your guns from Brigade Models.

Rob.

There are some threads here on the Anchorage on suggested methods of rigging.

If nothing else you can look at the pictures of ships made by Julián (redcoat) and then if you decide to aim a little lower I would suggest looking at pictures of Chris (Capn Duff) or me for different ways of rigging your ships.

Peter.
You can find information on rigging here.

Thanks for the help.

My pleasure Peter.

If you use sewing thread, remember to use a synthetic thread as cotton will slacken when humidity changes.

Thanks for the link to Brigade Models Rob, just spent 20 UK pounds on lots of stuff :minis:

Glad to be of service Peter. It has reminded me that we really need to add useful addresses to a special thread.

If you use Rod Langton ratlines the scale will be off- in reality is there much difference?

Hi Peter.
Chris (Boney10) uses them for his ships, and i think somewhere on here he has done a size comparison although I'm not sure where. If you contact him he will tell you where it is.
