    Default What's on your workbench for September?

    Hulls painted and basic coats going onto the upper works.

    Just can't keep up with the pace shipmates.
    Yet another package arrived today. Within was another Spanish Frigate ripe for converting and all at a price of £9.99

    Gunsmith's quoting two weeks on having my parts ready for pickup, a week of that is waiting for the Napa Green finish to ship and arrive--it's a new and low-demand color so they don't make a lot of it.

    Today I have only got the masts painted and stepped them by drilling the holes in the deck deeper so nothing to show really.

    Digital project, taking another run at a bargraph chart of SGN (and potential reprint) ship lifespans. Right now on 8.5x11 pages with 1/2" margins in landscape, just 1745-1816 with whole year increments is FOUR PAGES across!

    The real reason for my recent absence here. After her most extensive refit, she goes in the water Tuesday for our Fall cruise (traveling with games)!

    Very fine both boats look Dobbs.
    I trust you will enjoy your cruise and keep us informed on your progress.
    Next model cutter you make, would you give us a picture and comment at each stage, for those new shipmates who may not have seen Clippers post.

    Rob, just to give you some Nightmare Fuel, right now the ONLY 2-deckers I have in the chart are the Temeraires and at one cell per flag/ship/year combination, that's 144 potential models and a TWENTY PAGE timeline. I expect it to not quite double when I get the Slade 74's and similar fed in... hell, by the time I get all the Third Rates fed in Dobbs could probably have somebody ink it on fabric and use it as a sail for his boat.

    Gunboats always make me giggle, some mad person must've gone "I have a raft, and I've recently got this cannon... I can make this work"

    Very fine they look indeed Vol, and the backdrop of the fortifications sets them off a treat.

    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.

    I am also thinking of adding the captured Spanish 50 if I can find a suitable model and a picture of it Vol. However, i am sure that Constitution and friends can give even that a good drubbing so have no fear.

    Wow I love them, Volunteer. Such a very fine, accurate work that we have here. Sorry if I repeat myself but the ships look just perfect ... as the background ! Your rigging adds a high level of realism. Makes me think of the references about this topic (how to make them, etc.) we had once mentioned. I've really got to try it.

    Thanks Ferrante.
    I hope to get a game in next week, after we get the workmen out of the kitchen and tidy up a bit.

    Beautiful, Rob. The little light really accentuates the gunfire effect.

    Now all I need to do is buy another dozen sets of orange earrings for those big battles where everyone is firing both broadsides at once DB.

    Looking great, but I can't take the credit. I merely reproduced broadsides as done by Eric (DeRuyter). Suzanne added the make-up.

    My first British brig is done, seen here with an American one.





    All brigs to date have been built using abandoned spankers from scuttled Hebe models. HMS Spitfire is the first with a homemade spanker. I don't think it offends me too much.
