Nice, I like the HMS Surprise leaning with the wind. A nice effect that isn't shown very often at all. |

Sorry, but why would it lean into the wind? And why is all the running rigging so slack? Beautiful work, but there are a few details yet to be done correctly for perfection. |

Sometimes people who have no sailing experience get details incorrect. When we go to various National Galleries, I always like to point out to my wife those paintings of ships under sail with the flags streaming _behind_ them. I pay close attention to those with the flags streaming the correct way! Also, I'd warn your client that Swiftsure is cursed. I have her and she always strikes, sinks, or in one case blew up spectacularly! JohnG |

Hello Outlaw Tor,
I differentiate two types of ropes on a boat, structural and auxiliary.
Structural ropes are tense but auxiliary ropes are used to maneuver sails and they are not always tense.
It is true that I intensified the flabbiness effect of the strings, but often to achieve a desired effect must be intensified.

Oh come on John, I'm sure we must have had at least one game where the Swiftsure survived… maybe not :-) |
