Finally managed to watch Black Sails on Netflix and it inspired me to get a move on with a project I have wanted to do for a very long time. 28mm Ship to Ship in the Age of Sail.
I did originally plan on using Laser Dream Works laser cut ships but after building the first one I soon found out that they would be way to big to have more than one on your average table and still be able to move them.
I was lucky enough to get my hands on some Ainsty Casting resin ships. Living in Western Australia the postage for these ships would have been massive so I jumped at the chance to grab to grab 3 second hand untouched ships locally.
Now I'm not sure that the colours or sail configurations are accurate, but in my mind they look okay to me. Whilst painting them up I also ordered some more ships from Firelock Games, just to add variety.
