I've really enjoyed building, painting and rigging a couple of small fleets of the Warlord Games 'Black Seas' model ships. They were certainly a challenging project, which makes my satisfaction with the finished products all the
more better! There are more pics here: link And my thoughts during the construction process are here:

I really like the way you have painted the wood. |

I added one more pic to the above blog. I think it gives a good impression of bulk of a real ship-of-the-line. You can also see that my model-making is a bit rough and ready in places – where the shrouds and ratlines meet at the tops, for example!

Those are beautiful. I am still hanging on over Black Seas because I know it will be a project killer . Possible Christmas present . |

Very good description of how to do these ships, with a very nice end result. I do have 1 question though – do you put the sails on before doing the rigging or afterwards? |
| Arteis02 | 08 Nov 2019 5:06 p.m. PST |
Attaching the sails is my very last step. |
