"28mm Pirate Ship Coming Together" Update at Maksim's Blog!"

Hi Everyone,

I just published a new photographic update on my blog featuring:

- Photos of a 28mm pirate ship I've been working on...
- My usual ranting, raving and over-verbiage.
- A link or so as is my wont…

Check it out here:

http://6mm-minis.blogspot.com/2007/12/mini-wargaming-28mm-pirate-ship-coming.html

I'd love to hear any constructive criticism, feedback, compliments, or other positive comments.

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

P.S.
I've crossposted at several forums.
I'm just a happy-go-lucky guy who isn't always so happy or lucky, BUT I try!

Good looking ship Maksim, I'm looking forward to seeing you putting the sails on and rigging it.

Oh dear. Maksim's 'written-by-robots' blog update posts have arrived here now, have they? They remind me more of letters from the bank offering to lend me money than posts on a forum.

I came to L.A.F. to get away from them!  :)



Can't wait until the robot posts another update with the finished ship, though. Looks cool, and I look forward to seeing her painted up and everything. The Adventure Galley was Captain Kidd's ship, wasn't it?

Hey Plynkes,

Thanks for writing.

I guess I'll have to work on those robots.

*** Seriously, how do you recommend letting folks know about a blog post that you'd like to share? ***

My robots came straight from Nigeria... LOL  :)

You can't get the "adventure galley" anywhere anymore. They stopped making it.

I've been E-mailing the manufacturer.

I'm not a literary critic, Maksim, I really don't know. They just seem a little impersonal, that's all. But hey, that is your signature style now, so don't change it on my account.


If you do, I'll have to find someone else to take the mickey out of.  :)


Welcome aboard, by the way.

I understand that and this old dog is willing to learn some new tricks...

Not on your account, just willing to learn a better way...

Plynkes made The Gibbon laugh by saying what he was thinking.

Can't wait to see the finished ship! Maks, did you figure out what gang you were going to use it for? Will that affect how you paint it very much?

Oh, joy! Must update the robot postings. Check.

Probably undead.

Quote from: "Super_Gibbon"

I don't think it will affect it much.

The primary crew will be undead, but I want to leave it generic enough to be flexible.

I'm planning to use it with Flagship Games Pirates! rules, but I would like to use it with other rule sets.

I'd like to try out the WHFB ship rules when I get a chance.

Shabbat Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Um, seven years since the last post in this thread... That's quite a resurrection. But I fear you may not get an answer.

If you click on the username of a member, it'll take you to their profile. You'll see that the original poster here hasn't been on the forum (or active on the forum anyway) for five years. So if he did finish the model, I doubt we'll ever know :)
