Black Seas

I have now almost completed construction of the frigate, it is quite easy to construct and I like the choice of stern gallery and figurehead. However the hull and figurehead can be fiddly as the hull comes in two halves and a hollow bottom.
The one thing puzzling me though is the addition of four anchors,???

But and the big but is dont look like we can use these models, even for larger Sails ships, the frigate absolutely dwarfs the Ares version so my initial hope been dashed.
Still intend to use the brigs as Sails merchantman but the rest will not work, in my humble.

However, the models are nice and fit sails bases .... so we could just transport these models to sails bases and use them. This will now allow the small boat actions of the War of 1812 and not have the models look insignificant.
I will post a pic once I have completed a model and will place it next to an Ares version as comparison

Sounds ideal for SBA Chris, and terrain is no problem at that scale as long as it is just headlands and coast with no buildings. Will have to see how Forts look as background in a smaller scale.
