Recently a good shipmate offered to gift me a Sails of Glory 3-Decker because I had mentioned I would like to see what I could do with one. I told him I would send it back to him when I finished and he said it wasn't necessary. Being the facetious joker I am, I commented "Oh, you don't like my work?" So then he said he would love to have one of my ships and sent me two, one to keep and one to do for him. Me and my big mouth! So I received a box with two of the Ares French 3-Decker models Imperial 1803 / Republique Francaise 1802. I don't know if this ship was round one or two release for the game, but both had the foremast broken off at the base, something I understand is a problem with these plastic game pieces. The process is detailed on my blog at link Here are a few photos. I installed removable ensigns and pendant so they can be changed to British or Spanish at need, thus the loose pigtails. There is more on the blog.
Regards,

An impressive amount of work Vol. The work you did on the sails is amazing and I really like how your base insert turned out. If you've not posted any pics on the Anchorage yet you really should. Cheers! |

Thanks Jim. I thought I would let Gunner decide if it was worth doing as it is his ship afterall. |

I see that you're encouraged to make a conversion of a ship Sail of Glory.
A very good result. Congratulations! |

If Ed does not post this work of art, you must. If you/Ed don't. I will happily do so for you both. You always said good stuff should be shared.
Be safe
