Rigging a 28mm Sloop for Blood and Plunder
« on: January 27, 2018, 09:38:10 PM »
Hey all, I had a bear of a time figuring out how to rig my first wargame tall ship. I collected everything I learned during my trial and error process into a blog post in case it would prove useful to other ship building newbies. Hope it helps!

The 'trick' is to do sufficient rigging that it is clearly rigged without so much cordage that movement of figures around deck requires surgical instruments to perform. For me you have got it spot on.

I agree.  First class eye candy but very gameable.  Well done.

An extremely useful post : many thanks for putting it it. I've been eyeing that sloop for some time myself and your tutorial will come in very handy when I finally cave in and purchase one.
