Ohhhh exciting. How will these be shipped? (i.e. if I pick the cheap method will some card or board be inserted to help prevent the USPS from bending them to fit in my mail box?!) :)
Or do we (should we) pick a different means of shipping?

These will be placed in a heave card stock envelope that seals at the top and then placed into one of the typical bubble mailer envelopes. this is the same method I use to ship out decals, so I've no concerns that they will be damaged during shipping. I'll also slap some Do Not Bend stickers on the outside as well just for good measure. This is all for orders that contain just ratlines. Mixed orders will have them placed inside that card stock envelope and then into the box with other items.
Thanks for the quick reply, now I just need to see if my buddy wants a set
:drinks:
Excellent, Keith. I just ordered several sets, thanks! Any chance they might get here before May?
CC billing cycle starts on the 19th, so that's when I'll place an order for 3 sets +.:beer:
Me likes it :Arrrr:
brilliant, just brilliant. Now I just need to add up my Captain level to see what I need!
..... and ordered.
When you pre order, are you charged then or are you charged at time of shipment?
Unfortunately, my site only allows the option of collecting the funds when the order is placed.
I'd really like to see a photo of a mounted set before committing.
Okay. My four sets are on pre order. Since flag poles need to be removed on some ships what is everyone planning to do for flags on the ships?:question:
I am planning to either 1) attach the ensign to the rigging (paintbrush method) or 2) stick it onto a wire sticking up from the deck. White ensign for my Royal Navy.
Hi Guy's
Hope this helps. After rigging (as far as you wish) Add flag to a line from the back of the Spanker yards

I think you can download flags from the how too thread by Vol
Be safe

Brian, I'll be putting the appropriate national flag on most of my ships using the method that Rory has posted photos of. I'm not particularly fond of the plastic flag that's part of the original sculpts.
There's also been discussion of other ways to distinguish ships on the playing field, but I don't think I've seen any examples of that posted yet?
Keith, have you heard any news on the ratlines production? I've been good and waited a whole month before asking for an update. :sly: Thanks!
Actually I have. They are expected to be completed this week with a week or two to get to me... so should be before the end of the month baring any delays.
Can't wait.
Are they still available for ordering? They will enhance my ships for sure!
Like to get the ratlines for the starterset to begin with ;)
And again you idd a great job making the game better than it is!
Keep up the good work Haj
Thanks Ducky, You can still pre-order them on the AA site (blue link in the menu at the top of this page).
Keith, was there a suggested glue for this work? We were discussing the plastic and glue type on another thread, and this adds another medium of Stainless Steel.
Looking forward to seeing these.
:thumbsup:
The production lines are actually going to be brass. It held the detail fine and is easier to work with. I would use super glue to attach them, but since you are going have to paint them first, any glue that will bond between the paint and plastic should work just fine.
I am planning on having a few ships with some repainting and the ratlines for show at Origins. I think some people will be surprised at how much the ships can be enhanced.
Just to be sure..... The wave 1 set is for the ships in the starterset?
Excuse me for being a noob concerning SoG :surrender::drinks:
The Wave 1 Ratlines will fit any of the ships that came out along side the starter. So, that is all 4 in the starter set proper, the 4 KS exclusives, and the 8 that came in ship packs.
I have to have some Wave 2 ships in hand first... and see how well these are going to sell.
Keith, do we have an update on the brass ratlines for the first wave? And with Wave 2 coming up (May is less than two weeks away) have you heard anything from Ares about getting any of those in hand for creating the custom ratlines for them as well.
(I know Ed asked in another thread if there has been any word on Wave 2 shipping from China)
Thanks!
I should be getting the ratlines sometime late next week early the week after. As for Wave 2, they are now set to be released in June (earlier part I think). I'm not going to get any advanced copies to work from. So I'll have to wait until they are released before I can work on the ratlines for them.
