Hello all,
I've been finishing up the paint job on the earliest of my fleet of ships. Here's my newest blog post, showing off the paint job. As always, I would love to hear your pointers, suggestions, ideas, sources and more. I've got three other ships, more details and I think just better quality, on the way as well.

For the white ship, with a nod to Henri IV and Cyrano de Bergerac, how about "Le Panache Blanc"?

Nice work! You've been busy.
How about "the elephant" (as in a white elephant)
I struggle with naming stuff, too.

A nice little fleet for derring-do in Caribbean waters!

" elephant"

Or the olde spelling, Oliphant… ;-)

thanks, friends. Much appreciated. Eumelus and Stryderg, those are some good name ideas. I'll keep you posted when the ship is done!

This blog post got more views than usual. Would folks be interested in a tutorial-type post for the next batch of ships?
