What's on your workbench for June?

[Bligh]

Firstly thanks for the Rep Vol.
I had been using some thin masking film for the stripe along the side to do the stripes, and was pondering on what to use for the frill ties. I usually raid Mrs Bligh's twine store for rigging, bow strings and the like, but was unconvinced that I could jiggle the short bits into place and super glue them whilst wearing my new respirator mask which upsets my close up vision somehow. Mrs B suggested cutting the masking along its length and using that. The low tack heled the bits on whilst allowing time to adjust slightly. That woeked a treat as you can see so Rep points to Mrs B.

I can now also rep you back for the superb work on your latest modification. Gunner must be over the moon with that.
I on the orher hand now have a new paint job to fill in my lockdown time, as I don't like my Richard in its current colour scheme either.

That truly are excellent work from both of you!

[Bligh]

Thank you for your kind remark Jonas, and even more Rep.I am overwhelmed with goodies!

Garrr! Rob, I liked your xebec frigate so much that I yanked the mizzen out of my xebec convert and am preparing to redo the raised stern.

Ooh, ooh, and the striped sails!

Really sorry Dobbs. I had no intention of putting you to extra trouble. Your ship was what started me on the trail of producing one of my own, and for that incentive I am once again in your debt.

No worries, Rob! I am confident that it will be an improvement, using some of your strategies.

Rob, I think you could raise the musketry on that vessel. They were known to have a big crew and I think that would make an interesting difference more than "just" a beautiful conversion.

[Bligh]

Thanks for the advice Jonas. Did yo read my bit in the House rules section? I was fighting the urge to do that with reasoning. Not always the best way to proceed. On your advice I now swing back to the idea of giving her the small arms power of the 50 gun ship which has an equivalent crew of 350. for boarding I am allowing an extra chip if no fewer than 50 percent of the crew are still in action. I have issues with boarding rules anyway, but that is best dealt with elsewhere.

Here is my modified ship card Jonas.
Thanks for the suggestion.

A little progress on ship number two today.
