    Default Stretching Sculpts: 1777 Concorde class 12-lb. 32-gun frigates

    As noted, I've been trying to figure out how much can be wrung out of the existing sculpts for game-extension--I'm taking them in sculpt-SKU order, so the Concordes are up first. All of these are 12-pounder 32's unless otherwise noted. I'm personally shaky on Nymphe since data conflicts, but including it for the sake of discussion.

    I'm pretty sure I've seen draughts for some of these reproduced in Boudriot's History of the French Frigate 1650-1850, but sadly am having trouble finding any online.

    When you suggest a column to assign a class to, please state your personal priorities--some of us are "Accurate Model First" folks, others are pure gamer and would be content with a Popsicle stick hull bearing three toothpick masts, and I'll bet most of us fall somewhere in-between. (What this means: a Green carries more weight coming from an AMF-er, and conversely a Red carries more weight from a "Gamer First, Model Accuracy Unimportant," because each means a contradiction of the person's normal biases.)
