"Sails of Glory:Models" Topic

Can anyone help with some details of the models for this game :
-what scale are the ships and
-are they all to the same scale finally
-are they worth getting as prepainted models
Thanks

Ships are 1:1000 scale,and all are the same scale.

Pre painted models are good, you can play from day 1.

If they aren't good enough for you,lots of people seem to jazz them up by adding some rigging and dirtying the sails.

Two examples of jazzed up ships.

WoW ! That is some fleet. As a novice I am not sure I could attempt that….. which is why I was interested in the pre-painted ships (not a great painter, either). That 1/1000 scale looks about right for me. Smaller may be too fiddly.

I play with the ships straight out of their boxes.

I keep looking at photos of jazzed up ships and I think "one day I will do that too" but I never get around to it and I still enjoy the game.

A lot of good info on SoG to be had on the site linked above.

I just do a simpified version of rigging, which at least to me looks ok at game distances. I just was the models with a brown ink wash, and put black nylon thread between the top masts, then I got some fine mesh net to do ratlines…

See?

Just painting the sails a light tan and the spars either black or brown does a lot to "jazz" them up. No need to do more than you are comfortable with concerning painting and rigging.
