Arrr, looks great Patrice! Thanks for sharing your pics, and battle report. Sounds like a fun game. I'd love to see some more, closeup pics of the small, Bermuda sloop, as shown in the upper right hand corner of the second photo (which appears to be firing its guns, given the amount of smoke alongside the hull of it), if there are any available. I need to build one of those in 25mm/28mm scale fer me crew. |

Hi, from which supplier is the vauban fortress? Greetings |
Mako11 | 01 Nov 2012 11:02 a.m. PST |
If I recall correctly, from previous reports, the fort is scratch built. There are instructional photos on how to do it, either here in the TMP archives, or on Lead Adventure (most likely, both). |

Thanks guys :) - Yes it is 28mm. - Yes, "Mademoiselle Clotirisse" the governor's niece had MANY love stories since this NPCharacter appeared in our games :) - The small sloop is probably one of the two sloops that our friend "Dids" made with Gary Chalk's plans. They can be seen on this topic: link - The Vauban fortress is scratch-built. Some pics of its construction here: link The original plans are those of the fortress in Saint Augustine (Florida) but slightly smaller than scale. I think that the plans (of the real fortress) can be downloaded on this monument's website. |

Thank you for the link Patrice. I really appreciate it. That's a big help. |

For the sloop, I used the "adventure" plans and made a scratch built with insulation foam, card board and balsa. You can get some building explanations "mostly in frendch
" at : link if you send me an email at : maistre.pique @ wanadoo dot fr I will share the A3 frame of the plans for the sloop and the brigantine. |
