"Firelock Games Blood & Plunder Sloop" Topic

This is my first attempt at one of the Sloops for Blood & Plunder

Looks great;
Several of us play B&P, but have not used any ships yet.
Very tempting;
Thanks for posting;

Wow! That's a mighty impressive model! I'm assuming it's scratch-built? Have you done any in-progress photos? I'm curious whether it's balsa, or foam core or what. The hull must've been a beast to get done right.

Fantastic job on a nice kit.

Minor point, unless sailing close to the wind the flag would be pointing anywhere but straight back.

How did you attach the mainsail to the mast? Are those little bits of rigging tied in loops or something else?

Thanks!

Bob

Thanks for the comments all.

I do NOT have the skills to scratchbuild one of these unfortunately. They are available for purchase from firelockgames.com
The kits are quite reasonably priced considering the quality and what you receive.

I do know the flag is backwards, it is removable for the exact purpose of showing wind direction and for versatility.
The mainsail is attached with small plastic coated jewellery wire, looped around the mast and threaded around the spar.

Excellent. Thank you.

No problems Bob

Really nice work!
