Just started cannibalizing this Sloop to make a couple of sinking Sloops.
That will give me a ship of each rate or unrated as sinker markers.

Rob.
I'm curious for the result.
Had a few nice games at Doncaster with you fine "sunk ship markers". :wink:
This one is what I call a hermaphrodite project Sven. You will get my meaning as it unfolds.
Rob.
This one has been put in for a transplant to make a Brig with Ares sails.
The Hull is Langton made. Hence the Hermaphrodite epithet.
But first on with the wrecks and sinking ships.
Rob.
More of the Brig later Sven.
Meanwhile I am basing the sinking Sloop along with a Liner which has also been sacrificed on the Alter of authenticity.
Here you see the cut outs for the bases made from Plasticard off-cuts.

My 32 gun American fantasy frigate fitting out, possibly to be named Saratoga. The hull is done. I have the painting of the yards, masts and sails yet to go. She's a converted Cleopatra.

Strangely enough, Rob, I have just begun working on another brig as well!

Here is the next installment, along with a Liner I have been meaning to do for a while.
Sinking Sloop is Milliputted to the Plasticard. Card having first been well roughed up to help with the keying.

The final rendering of the sinking ships.
And now what I did with those sails!

First I drilled them for a supporting rod.

Following the "Bligh Principles", another island makes progress to joining my landmass collection.

Very nice texturing Dobbs, and I love the Martello lookout tower.
Just missing a few Herring Gulls overhead and nesting in the clefts.
Rob.
This thread mayhap Dobbs.

Rob.
Next testing them for fit with a wire core to fit a hole drilled in the deck.
Next the painting of the hull.
And finally the adding of the masts,and here is HMS Foxhound all ready for action.
The USS Saratoga looks nice, Dobbs.
...so the Island does. :thumbsup:
Sharp and detailed work, Rob. :salute:
Dobbs: Great work as usual!
Rob: Very well done! ...and is that going to be a ketch? It looks like a main and a mizzen not a foremast and a main.
I can't see any pictures either.
It is all part of my posting problem I have to add as an attatchment or it won't show up, but sometimes it comes up OK and has then deleted the next time I come on line.
I have redone the latest one. Can you both see it now?
Rob.
Now I see the last images too. ...and she is a ketch.
Just got back onto a bit of work on Santisima, and another Sloop for the breakers' yard turned up today!
Rob.
Well spotted sir!
Rob.
4 decks... :shock:
Read it somwehere before - you use a resin model from...
Clipper my dear Comte.
Sails from Ares "Montagne".
Rob.
Your Saratoga fantasy frigate is beautiful! Love the olive green top.

I'm looking at some of the 1/700 3D printing files that have sprung up in the wake of the release of "Black Seas". I have some 1/100 armoured cars and some 15mm "gunners" for my HoTT Amazon army to do, then I'm trying a frigate model that includes 3D sail prints.
I'm on a different era ship at the moment Dave. HMS Nelson for my Med Battle Squadron.
Rob.
Here she is in the shipyard today.
Also today I knocked out another foundering ship.
This time a Sloop.
This afternoons offering is a Frigate on fire.
Completed just before lunch.
Now I just need to buy a foundering Frigate and I will have enough to depict any ship either on fire or sinking within reason if I use them just a a generic Liner 74 Frigate and Sloop.
Rob.
You are an excellent modeller, Rob! :hatsoff::clap:
Not that much to do here Dave.
If I get time today I will post a picture or two to show how the trick was performed.
Rob.
Excellent modeller, repainter, etc... :thumbsup:
The sloop looks „melted“...
