Your ships?
« on: April 20, 2010, 05:25:31 PM »
I don't see much of your ships here.  I know in 15mm, beautiful ships are available (Old Glory and Thouroughbred, that I know).

Show us your ships, or ships you have on wish list, or ships you game with but don't own.

Thank you.

This ship is a laser-cut birch plywood model from Flying Tricycle - it's my "The Dark Maiden" for my Razig's Revenge army for Warlord.

I added the figurehead, which is one of these:

The "Lady Luck", which I built in 2006.



She's since sailed off to serve in the Prof's fleet, though, but there are more images in my Displaced Miniatures Swashbucklers Gallery.

Japanese 'fune' or seki-bune. Mainstay of the Japanese fleet of the Sengoku jedai. I've got a slightly bigger one but it's looking a bit tatty now.



This now a kit and I'm selling them at Salute and they will be on the website hopefully next week.

"Sengoku Jedai" is the "warring states" period from the end of the 15th century to 1573, wenn Oda Nobunaga vanquished his last major enemy.

That is an excellent piece, BTW. What did you use for the sail? I like how the mast "shines through".

Thanks chaps  :)

The sail is calico, a type of cotton-like material and I'm hoping they do sell at Salute, a lot of work went into it  :)

cheers

Converted Mega Bloks ship -




I've got a Games of War small ship (no good pictures), as well as a few Minimi ships, but they still need to be painted.
