Thanks for the comments! The Ainsty cannon are a bit too small for my pirate fantasy style, but I'll see what I can do...

Meanwhile, here's an old WHFB cannon on a scratchbuilt carriage that I've been working on for the past few days. It's such a huge piece, I'm calling it Cagafuego or "fireshitter" after Sir Francis Drake's legendary prize:



Here it is in its outrageous size:

Have been working on this on and off for a few months now, here's its current state:









Decking is of course very much WIP, and there's a hundred other things to do, but it's progress!

looks fantastic..I bought one of these ship and just thought it was too big !  You are doing a stellar job...

Would you be interested in 'selling the plastic sails that come with the boat...they are the perfect size for the ainsty ships?? if so please PM me with a price...

As you can see I have repainted the set I had...

Only just noticed this, somehow it had slipped my radar! For some reason this ship doesn't have the plastic sails, but cloth ones sadly.
