25 mm Sailing ships, bawdy humor and more pun than you can shake a shtick at.
I've taken a break from the West Gone Wild, wrote my own rules for High Seas Adventures and started Christening ships with names that would have Admiral Nelson listing in his grave. Enjoy, more to come.....

You can say that again! The pinnace "Envy"... the schooner "Orator"... makes even me groan!

The above said, I am deeply, deeply greatful you took the time to use the correct spelling in your blog name.

But your ship-models are absolutely first-rate (pun intended. You don't deserve better. ).

Yes, great models. Hope to see more.

[Luckyjoe]

Very cool. Love the puns.  Ships look great.

I rather like "the sloop De'Jour" and Seaman Poole, although Harry Snatch comes close 


 

What could be better than beautiful models and bad puns?

Really nice ships, especially appreciate the job u did with the rigging.

Where is the schooner from? Old Glory I assume?

[Wingnut]

        The Schooner is the Old Glory model as is the Sloop. The "Envy" is from a web site called Gamesofwar.net. Thank you for the complement on the rigging. I knew virtually nothing about tall masted ships before January and have tried to assemble models that are both sturdy enough for gaming and nice enough for display. The Rattlings are made from steel jewelry wire strung vertically with cross hemp twine. the steel wire allows me to glue tiny disk magnets to climbing sailors and remove them as casualties during play. The sails are .005 plastic styrene sheets stained by an acrylic wash. My goal was to make sails that looked like they were full of the wind not furled or in the doldrums. Most of the stays and lines are wax string which seems to hold its shape better than twine.

LOL!   Funny stuff, and good looking ships

Some puns are better than others, but the sails are some of the best I've ever seen on wargame models.  The attachment of the sails to yardarms and booms is just fantastic.
