Title: The Fluyt "Cock Tail" (28mm Ainsty Merchant)
Post by: Wingnut on February 05, 2012, 06:26:59 AM

For a while now I have wanted to make a Dutch Fluyt. The problem was there were no suitable hulls out there that resembled the rounded, lumbering shallow draft vessels of the day. Then Ainsty started producing the old Dixon line. Add a mizen mast, a few Dutch VOC flags and a whole lot of rigging. TADA!

Slow, poorly armed, full of trade goods. What more could a Pirate want!

Very, very nice.  I particularly like the rigging: enough to add verisimilitude, not so much (and carefully enough positioned) to make gameplay difficult.

I want to see a picture of all of your ships next to each other, (at the same time granting me a chance to ninja in and steal them all!!)

Now that I have given you this idea I claim first dibs on anyone's minis/terrain/ships who has a heart attack when they see the aforementioned picture.

In time I will be lining up the ships for a group Photo. For now I can't, do to the fact that I don't have a back drop large enough to make the Photo work. I have had a few requests for this before so I plan to do it.

As allways, great inspirational stuff. I love all your boats, they sure make me happy to watch.
