Yes it is.
I have responded by private.
Julian, will you also reply to me by private message, as you know I am interested in several of your pieces.
Rob.
ok
New photos!!! now with a comparative fort Morro and two possibilities of dimensions:
Superb Julián.
Just try to get past those two fortifications on either headland and see what happens to your Squadron!
Rob.
Really, I wouldn't like to pass through these two strong with my squadron...

Now that is beautiful! (and a little easier to place on the game table).
Hello all, new photos about San Luis de Bocachica.Now it is in the delivery room
This fort I will use to represent the fort of La punta in my diorama of Havana.
I hope you like it
Best regards,
Julián
Another very tasty offering Julián.
At this rate I will need a second mortgage.
Rob.
Finished!!!!
When you start selling the set...
It occurs to me that these forts would have been marvelous add on items for a Kickstarter campaign that featured a Sails of Glory version of the Santisima Trinidad? After all the ST was built in Havana!
If only Ares could link up with Julian's 3D production company or enterprise? Not likely to happen as their energies are focused elsewhere. I'd certainly back a campaign that included these forts.

There is certainly a gap in the market here which must appeal to people other than just we sailors.
Rob.
I hope the set will be for sale in two weeks.
We'll go slowly. First make the product, second market and third expansion.It occurs to me that these forts would have been marvelous add on items for a Kickstarter campaign that featured a Sails of Glory version of the Santisima Trinidad? After all the ST was built in Havana!

We will try to fill this gap.
Julian could you re-photo all your fortifications and include a ruler for scale please.
Neil
ok I will do it
That would be a dream come true.It occurs to me that these forts would have been marvelous add on items for a Kickstarter campaign that featured a Sails of Glory version of the Santisima Trinidad? After all the ST was built in Havana!

I've already thought that if Ares ever released ST I would order it from Julián (too).
Maybe you could link up with the Anchorage Store, if you think that would help, Julian.
If these are 3d prints what about shapeways?
Now that is thinking bigger Neil.
Rob.
Hello, we are planning to make wood forts as William Henry (Last of the mohicans) I want ask dimensions and what scale is better, for now I only have designed for 1/1000 or 1/1200 but we can make other scales.
Thank you for your help,
Julián
At the request of Neil I put a picture of the forts and their comparative sizes with a ruler in cm
Would it be possible to make the star fort without the outer works to make it smaller?
AAAA that was my first observation I made the designer, but unfortunately he said no. The solution he gave me was to cut with a cutter the thin base that between the fort and the outer defense works. This way you would have the fort side 10 cm.
Add the resin is easily cut with a dremell. And if the thickness is thin you can be cut with a cutter.
So that makes it four forts to order if you want them all in the 1:1000 scale...
If you can cut away the Glacis carefully, you can then use the Star fort without for most games, and pop it back on for special actions.
Rob.
That puts them in perspective thanks Julián.At the request of Neil I put a picture of the forts and their comparative sizes with a ruler in cm
I would be up for the largest three certainly.
Rob.
You can even represent a walled city if you removes the fort and replaced by houses (not to scale but could be worth for a small stage)
Superb. May I draw your attention to Brouage near Rochefort:
Inner dimension is roughly 355m x 355m (So 355cmx355cm give or take in 1/1000 scale)
Neil... 355 cm = 3.5 metersSuperb. May I draw your attention to Brouage near Rochefort:
Inner dimension is roughly 355m x 355m (So 355cmx355cm give or take in 1/1000 scale)
I can't do it!!!
Sorry that is 355mm! What a clot I am. Although in present day Brouage is practically landlocked it was once the richest port in Europe due to the salt trade. The top gate in the picture was about 50-100m from the river. The river silted up over the years and the port and town drifted into obscurity.
3D printer that works my partner has a maximum of 19cm side. So you could do in one piece, this should be done in four parts.
That's still a big chunk out of your playing area when you add on the associated coastline Neil.
Rob.
Yep, wasn't thinking on that one. But it does look nice. Had a lovely walk around it on a trip to France many moons ago.
Awesome work, you are making everybody else look bad. L O L !!!! Cheers Mates.
Fort San Felipe del Morro available in ModelJShip.
Best regards,
Julián
Thanks Julián.
Money sent.
Rob.
Does this mean all forts are available?
No, only Fort San Felipe del Morro. Soon it's ready the other forts, San Luis de Bocachica and Manzanillo.
Hello,
I add a photo about works in my diorama. I hope you like it.
Best regards,
Julián
That is starting to look very impressive already Julián.
Will you have it completed before Christmas?
Rob.
What a project!
I hope completing before 15th december but I have to recive Fort San Luis and Manzanillo, I dont know when...
