Re: Teensy tiny pirates, yarrrr! P15. More pirates!

I've now rounded out my pirate fleet with the addition of the two masted brig, again from the Printable Scenery 3D range.



The brig is somewhat broader in the beam than the sloop, and doesn't have such elegant lines - less sleek and more of a wallower, but with more deck space.



I haven't bothered doing full rigging because you'd never be able to reach onto the decks. Just enough to give the impression...



And here they are together - to remind you, all 15mm scale prints, because the figures are closer to 12/13mm in actuality, and the 10mm ships just look way too small against the figures.



So that's the brig, the sloop, the skiff (two masted) and the skiff (single masted - AKA 'the ketch')





Next up in this project, two more terrain boards - a mainly sea board with a reef or islet or two, and a jungly promontory...  8)

They make a grand fleet!

A few furled sails would add to the look (because you need more work!)

Those ships look amazing. I agree that the suggestion of rigging is more practical than trying to replicate it, strand for strand. Great little armada...!  :-*
