I finally got a chance to paint the last of my 200 point Dutch fleet for Galleys & Galleons this morning (blessed be St Patrick and his most public of holidays). I've had the first four ships waiting around for what seems like an age now, but here they are all together: a merchant fleet in the employment of the VOC – the Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie (United East Inida Company). In order of size from largest to smallest we have: The indiaman Brabant – 52 points
Q3; C4; Chaser guns, Galleon rigged, Merchantman, Veteran NCO The cromster Haarlem – 48 points
Q3; C3; Galleon rigged, Master Gunner, Merchantman, Shallow draft, Yare The sloop Nassau – 63 points
Q2; C2; Galleon rigged, Razée, Shallow draft, Yare The junks Tea Chest (red sails) and Peppercorn (yellow sails) – 16 points a piece
Q3; C2; Lateen rigged, Merchantman, Reinforced hull Next on the painting agenda, my Barbary Corsairs (four vessels), and a wee sea deity to mix things up a little. The rules are coming along very nicely and I believe that they should be ready for a launch on September 19 – International Talk Like a Pirate Day! Keep up to date with the project here: link Cheers! |

Well done. BTW, I highly recommend the recently release Dutch film, "Michiel de Ruyter" (Admiral). Covers the commercial wars between England and the United Provinces quite well. Lots of action and big naval battles.

I've grown quite fond of the Peter Pig ships and yours are very nice indeed (i.e., better than I could do in a millenium). LT |

Beautifully done. Now hurry up and relieve Gov. Coyett in Taiwan,before Fort Zeelandia falls. |

How is your play testing coming on? Have you made any updates recently? |

@ Harry, What are the dimensions (length and height) of the three mast warship? Cheers, |

1) I'd love to see the de Ruyter film but I very much doubt it will receive any theatrical release in these parts. I'll have to wait for the DVD, but I'll certainly get it. 2) The three master is the Peter Pig large merchantman (only ship they do with a resin hull, others are all metal). Hull is 9cm long (10cm including bowsprit). 8cm to top of main mast. David Manley, yes, very well and a few changes. You should have received an email about a week ago. I'll send it again. |
