Well just finished one of my birthday presents. Made in Russia pre coloured kit. Really 16th century but I don't think the shape changed that much by the mid 17th? Figure is by 28mm TAG. One of their Tudor range. got mine from. http://russia-best.com/ have dealt with them twice. Good service.
-
Lovely work :-* Eureka produce 16th century sailors in their Portuguese range which would work well and would fit with TAG
-
Indeed. Good stuff. And i will check out that website. Although i have no projects that concerns with the period, anything maritime has my appreciation. ;-)
-
I have also their Cog. Which I intend to use for HYW naval. The others they do are a Bireme and a Junk
-
Nice build!
How do you know which models on the site that fit 28mm?
-
I've got the cog as well. Didn't know they did this one. Looks brilliant.
-
I saw a post on the Cog someone had bought and they had a 28mm HYW Perry figure on the deck. With the Galleon I just worked it out from the sizing. As far as I know I would say would fit small 28mm figures. Trying to find out about their buildings
-
Since I avctually do 16:th century the galleon will be perfect. How long did it take to assemble?
I am also thinking of a couple of caravels if the scale fits.
-
It took me half a day to assemble. I took it slowly following the instructions which are very good. They supply more than enough thread for the rigging. I did glue a couple of pieces using pva as i felt they needed it.
I will post a link to a FB page that has some useful pictures from another person
-
Looks great! Thanks for linking to the site.

More pictures of other boats (not mine) and some of their buildings.

After looking througn all different ships MDF, resin and the like, I still feel that the card board one looks best. And being pre painted will save me a lot of work I think
-
That's a stunning bit of kit!
-
Looks excellent, they don't do any 18th century ones do they? lol

:o Very good!

I used several of their biremes for an ancients game. I used 28mm figures and the galleys were a bit under-scale but I didn't think terribly so, especially given the price. More pictures on my blog:

Tym that is awesome. I wasn't aware of this company or product but I am very impressed. Thanks for sharing.
-
Great find and built, CONGRATULATIONS and thanks for sharing! :-*

I became so inspired I ordered two galleons.
While waiting, I made a ruleset and drew this ship chart. It is to be used for allocating crew to different battle stations within the ship, and to record damage, hull breaches and fires.

Looks good. Would not mind a copy of your rules if you would be so kind.
-
Superb! :) Are we allowed to share this chart?

Absolutely!
But as a matter of fact, the image needs to be adjusted, as I found out the galleon has two aft gunports. So I will post a new one later on.
Regarding the rules, I am actually thinking of making them a thread of it´s own where everyone may try the rules out and suggest changes!
-
Please do share. If you do a separate thread be sure to link back here as well.
-
I will, I just have to translate them from swedish first. The focus of the rules will be battles between larger ships where ship management during combat (allocating crew to different battle stations, putting out fires, pumping water and repairing the hull) is as important as tactical decisions. There is a delayed order execution when sailing, forcing the players to second guess each other to manouver into advantageous positions, while at the same time take factors as wind, sails and damages into consideration.

YESSSSSSSSSS!!! :-*

Ok, so here is the updated ship with the added aft cannons. I have also added a number code to each section to determine where incoming fire hits. For every hit, first roll 1d4 (the first number in the sequence) then roll 1d8 (the second number). For instance, if you roll a 3 and then a 7, the magazine is hit, which may be very bad news. A 4 followed by a 4 on the other hand, will only ruin some bed linen, a parade uniform and maybe a bottle of wine in the officer´s quarters.
If the ship is attacked from behind, consider the first die to be a 4 and only roll the second die. If attacked from the front, the first die is a 1.

Tym,
is there a gun port on the poop deck as well?
-
No gun port on the poop deck. You could mount a swivel gun?
