What a beautiful project!

Awesome project!

Brings to my mind my dad's projects many decades ago. Simple but very good-looking.

Thanx, gents....;)

After returning from asia I started with my galleys again.

Today just 2 WIP pics to give you an idea how I made the ships....;)


The grid on the mat is 1cm.





Anda side shot....:)





So its pretty strait forward: a base layer with the rudders, 2 stripes for the main hull and some very thin stripes for the fightong deck. Then I add a fore castel and a captains tent in the back. The toothpick mast is super glued in the next step. Took me around 1 1/2 hours to build....:)

@Rules
I think I take the Galleys Gun and Glory rules. But need a playtest if they fit my needs.

Cheers,
Don

I absolutley love these.

I wonder if you could get yourself a little die cutting machine from the works or a craft shop and rig it up to make these ?

never trust a horse, they make a commitment to shoes that no animal should make.
