I have been working on a new build of the brig with weathered textures and open gun ports AND CANNONS!
This time I went for the classic ship-of-the-line color scheme. After adding the layers for color customization I roughly calculated over 100.000 possible unique looks!
The deck size is large enough to hold many minis. Here I have the British Navy fighting the Pirate zombies! (Paper minis by Okumarts)
I design my models for exterior gameplay but if you want to go "inside" I also provide deck plates for that. Here the zombie Pirates have no clue the prisoners in the captains cabin are planning an escape.
The light rays indicate where windows and doors are.
I decided for this setup because I don't find it practical to start removing deck sections during gaming as most likely all minis on deck would fall off or at least move around. For larger ships with more decks you could then simply have the other decks on the side and have your minis run up and down as needed.
Next up I will be working on the sailing rig ... this time with square sails!
