On my work bench currently is an experiment. I had six of the Black Seas brigs, more than I want or need. So I thought I would cut two up and see if I could make something else. What I came up with is a 22 gun sloop of war or corvette and a 12 gun cutter.
With masts made and primed
Those models sure do look nice Vol. Black Seas is what initial got me interested in sailing games. After some research, I found the ruleset of SoG to be a much better fit for me. Have you played Black Seas?
You have certainly expanded the range there Vol.Well done again that man. I await the finished products with anticipation.

The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.
Meantime back at the Ranch, I have taken a couple of photos of something I feel will save those of you with no desire to "butcher" your ships with a cheap alternative.
First take one Litco small fire marker
Add smoke
And the result is.
Transferrable to any ship.

Thanks Bryan. No, I am just playing around with the models and scale right now. I love age of sail ships if you haven't noticed. For gaming my go to is KMH but I also like Post Captain and GW Trafalgar, though it is a bit onerous.
What is KMH?
"Kiss Me Hardy" by Too Fat Lardies. A card based game that is way quicker than Trafalgar

Yesterday I started making a holder for my Laser pointer by turning up a base on my lathe. First I faced off the ends of a piece of Aluminium, Then chamfered the edges.

Next I drilled a hole in the end and threaded it ready to receive the support rod.
