    Here is the afternoon's work Ferrante. All glue set, and now a thinned coat of PVA overall to seal the foam before applying the undercoat of paint tomorrow.

    I agree entirely, the deck and hull colours are very nice and you've made a tremendous job of the stern windows.

    Last night I finished my interpretation of Pea Patch island on the Delaware River. This is before the fort was built. Apparently the island started to form in the 18th century after a merchant ship with a cargo of peas grounded on the shoal and threw a portion of the cargo overboard to float free.

    Nice work, and a nice story there Dobbs. I can almost see the wild peas growing amongst the bushes.

    No worries, Rob. I want to get my Spanish somewhere close to finished. I too have some terrain projects I want to get to, but I will try to finish some ten 3rd rates an perhaps a few first rates first.

    Well, Sven, I have had all those third rate hulls painted and waiting for masts for a while now.

    It is the sails that is the sticking point for myself .
    I have around 30 hulls at the moment just waiting for appropriate sails, not all painted though.

    Great work on tweaking the sail sizes for SoG TexaS

    If you want to send me the STL versions you used then I'd be happy to bundle them in with my existing ones. Then people can access them as needed.
    Also send me a list of any tweaks needed for when I have some time to improve them (no guarantee in the immediate future though)

    Email (which I didn't know was on there for ages is on https://www.wargaming3d.com/vendor/simon-mann/
    (Just so it doesn't get posted in multiple places like these forums and then could be potentially indexed by bots to spam)

    Cheers Jonas.
    I have just finished planting out, and spraying the whole lot with varnish.
    When it is dry I will post the finished bit of coast.

    And here it is in situ along with the sandy beach for the far distant background. That is something I have been meaning to add ever since I did the first lot of sand dunes.

    Hi Rob, yes you can add it where it could be useful

    Great coastlines by the way, what is the event you are doing? Just thinking as I am in Sheffield so not far from Doncaster. Not sure how covid is going but could be interested in coming over. Never played SoG either so could be good to see how it plays

    Would be great to see you there.
    My game will be a take on the first battle of Tripoli.
    US and Swedish Frigates against the Barbary States.
    If interested contact Cheis Hedeby on the Wings Drome he is printing the players name badges and such.

    Evan helped some of us out with the last Nexus D.VII's in the world, but the trans-Pac shipping was a killer. :(

    Somehow I missed Simon’s comment, but I will send him the .stl files this weekend.

    I think we can gather up a list of tweaks. I mostly have opinions on the spanker and have tweaked the jibs some.

    Magnificent Jonas. Puts my efforts to shame blown up to that scale of magnification.

    The magnification makes me see my mistakes and want to fix things, but I'm not sure it'll improve the paint job in the end.

    Sometimes you just have to decide it's finished.

    Also, with the shutdown of Aerodrome Accessories I'm starting to work up a guide on Litko laser-cut tokens that can be of use in Wings or Sails. Some aren't as good as Keith's, but there are times when you have to take what you can get.

    Ah yes Rob, I do usually go to Partizan so will see about going in October. Hopefully see you there if so :)

    Thanks for sending the files through Jonas, I'll try and get them updated on wargaming3d real soon and then let people know

    Amazing paintwork Jonas! You've really brought them to life :)

    I've also just updated the masts/sails package with your 1:1000 resized versions so people can grab them. I've added the combined STLs you sent through and have also split them into separate files for ease if needing to do different quantities of each.
    Downloadable from https://www.wargaming3d.com/product/...of-sail-ships/

    Rob - yes fingers crossed that it goes ahead. If so then I'll likely see you there :)

    I began wondering if I should make sure masts were the correct sizes historically and have this in Swedish. I should translate it later.
