Beautiful work Rory, and and thanks for showing such a neat looking ship. I'd never seen one of those before. Thanks for the comparison shot with the 74 and the frigate too, nice to see how the...

That's a great looking ship Rory! I've never seen a Swedish fleet modeled before, so I look forward to seeing it take shape, especially at your hands. Keep the pictures coming!

Thanks very much guys. Jim, these are indeed for the Great Lakes.
I'm a long way away from being able to stage some of the major battles, but these little guys should spice things up a little...

Hi guys, I've got a couple more gunboats completed and wanted to share pictures. This time it's Langton's galley gunboat and large gunboat. Nice models with interesting rigs. I've used brush bristles...

Beautiful work Jim! I regret not leaving room on my bases for removable ship names and nationalities, the way you've rigged them. I'll have to figure out some little templates that can attach...

It looks fantastic Jim, great job on the rigging and base. Thanks for the kind words about my pictures, I'll do a post about my set up and procedure if that will be helpful - though I think your...

It's shaping up to be another beauty Jim. Again I think the colors you use are very attractive.

I've thought sometimes about doing a diorama, and it's still an attractive idea, but then I have...

Thanks for the kind words Coog.

I've actually been wondering about that engagement, and specifically the proportions of the Spanish xebec, El Gamo. Do we know if she was a lateen rig or a...

Thanks very much guys, I appreciate it. It was a fun kit to work on.

Jim, it would definitely be cool if Ares produced some of these, especially since they'll have USS Constitution (and its...

Hi guys. Pardon me for spamming the board lately with photos, but when I get a break between gigs I like to dive back in to model making - and of course gaming!

This time the subject is GHQ's 22...

Thanks very much guys, I appreciated your comments over on TMP too - all the more so knowing well the very high standards of your own work :)

Thank you for the kind words Rob - the Ares models...

Thanks very much guys, I appreciate it. - James

Thanks very much guys, I'm glad you like them!

Hi Guys,

Just wanted to share a few more photos of another recently completed model. This one is GHQ's 8 gun schooner. I had my Great Lakes project in mind, but of course this type of vessel...

Chris, this is really beautiful work and a joy to behold. I'm really flattered that you found some inspiration on my blog. I make no apologies for the money you've spent, as the rest of us have...

Thanks guys, glad you like them. I'll post some more as the flotilla grows. - James

Hi guys. I haven't been around the forums much lately and work has slowed my pace of production to a meager crawl, but I did manage to finish up a couple very diminutive pieces - two 1-gun gunboats...

Excuses, excuses!

Just kidding Rory, you're a good man for putting all the work in to making a tutorial. Get some rest!

Jim, I'd rather you'd promise you will post photos of every ship you make, they're a joy to see. Beautiful work. And thanks for the great picture resources too. - James

Thanks Erin. I'm resigned to the models taking some damage during play - after all, the fun of the games is ample compensation - but I confess it is a little stressful when I see them being handled a...

Jim, beautiful work on the ship, it really looks fantastic. I like your basing too, the water color looks great, and I like the ship names.

As for GHQ vs. Langton, I think GHQ hulls have more...

Wow guys, thank you very much. I appreciate the kind words. Jim, to answer your question about the yards, I hadn't thought of drilling holes. I've always just been putting a dab of glue on them,...

Hi guys, I just finished working on GHQ's 1:1200 East India Company frigate and wanted to post some pictures. This is a pretty neat model, and when I can get some merchant vessels painted up to...

That's really incredible work, thanks for linking to that Jim! It's really neat not only to see the model taking shape but also to read about all the considerations that go in to building a remote...

Really lovely work Jim, I look forward to seeing it with the rigging too. You're going to have a beautiful fleet in no time!
