18thC Sail Boat - Sloop - Now Painted (Updated 11th Oct)

[Furt]

Beautiful - what a great finish to an awesome project.

Love the removable foresail, very clever.

That really is a lovely model. Beautifully finished and will look superb in a game setting especially when the pics of her fully crewed and in action are posted here 

Now, enough basking in glory - you really must get started on the Hispaniola!

She's a true beauty! I love seeing such cool projects go from start to finish. The result is great and you should be very proud of it.

wow that looks good. I'm still trying to pluck up the courage to do my sails or ask the new girlfriend to do it as she's a dressmaker.

Great work there SI  I have a boat called Sophie somewhere  (very popular name it would seem, I had a mate who had one aswell)

Inspirational work SI.  Gives me something to aspire to.  My own work converting a playmobil ship will not compare to this.

Nice job.  The only thing that puts me off slightly is the single green panel.  To me, it looks a bit out of place.  I would have either left it off completely or done it the whole length of the ship.  Of course, that's coming from a guy whose total accomplishments of the past year can be counted on one hand, minus a couple of fingers!

Lovely work
Some great details

I like the finished ship.  Good job on teh sails and rigging.

I aspire to finish a ship paint job soon myself.  I have even comtemplated casting a few of my own creations to make an entirely too large fleet of corsairs for a really big action. 

That is the cliff we all flirt with going over,...the really big action!

Is this a Games of War molded ship hull?
Thanks,
Curt

Fantastic job.   Gives me something to aspire to as I work on mine ( http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=38547.0 ).

Thanks for your posting on this cutter.  I was inspired to get one for myself after seeing your work on this one.  I obtained the 3 Viking ship deal and the cutter. 

I assembled a Viking ship today. It went very well.  I plan to sand the stairstep on the hull and round off the rail parts at the stern and bow so there is not a stair step alone the top of the side .  I really like the shield blanks that Matt supplied for the Viking ship.

Matt is now offering a 10 GUN BRITISH BRIG for sale, new in March.  I may have to order one soon.  One can never have too many ships fr wargaming, right?

From the site:
"This wooden model kit is a reproduction of a 10-gun British Brig based on Admiralty Drafts for ships to be built on Lake Chaplain. This faithful reproduction is for use with
28mm figures. The ship’s deck is 19”long and 6” wide. It’s overall length is 30” and 24” in height. The ship comes with all the materials to build the hull, masts, and yards. It does not include material for the rigging nor does it include the paint, miniatures, cannon, or terrain shown in the photos. This kit is of intermediate complexity.  He had nice photos on the site.   http://www.laserdreamworks.com/British_Brig.html

Nicely done on the sloop SI, I particularly like the way you've got rigging in there without obstructing the placement of figures.
