    Default Disaster!

    A small box with 28mm miniatures dropped will do much damage to Sails of Glory ships.

    So sorry to see this Jonas.
    I do hope it is nothing too drastic.
    We all shudder to think that it could happen to any of us.

    At least I got to remove the last guns on the deck of the merchant as she is completely dismasted.

    The rig is very much in the way for doing just about anything, especially repairing the masts.

    Hmm. all the elements are in place for a neat diorama for the aftermath of a battle? Did this with a broken Fokker DVII - fell off the bench



    So I did this:





    Fun stand in when the normal duplicate gets shot down in a game . . .

    So sorry to see this Jonas. That has to be totally demoralizing!

    It's a great looking plane, but I have started repairs to restore them as it's both my Surprise conversion and my merchantman conversion that took most damage together with the French sloop. Happily my Swedish frigate Venus conversion was barely touched.

    Sorry to see this, Jonas. I would have a sick feeling in my stomach.

    Best wishes on your repairs.

    Instead of playing the solo game for March I have spent the evening repairing almost as quickly as was done between the battles of Algeciras...

    I was saddened to learn this happened to you, Jonas, but it is good that you had the modelling skills to repair them.

    That is why I put a picture of the Croft port in the "Favourite tipple"-thread.

    Jonas, I admire your skill. I probably would have struck colors. Here's hoping they never experience such misfortune again -

    A wonderful and speedy repair Jonas, and all without the aid of Clippers dockyard elves.
    Well done .
    Rob.

    Not as speedy as I would have wished. It took the time I had planned to play the next solo game.

    Well, I have playable ships again, even though some masts are a little crooked now.

    And Eric, I'll drink to that!
