Hello all,

Getting ready for the big Pirates in September events at our local wargaming club (Nunwading Wargames Association) it is about time my pirates got some sail action!

So out came the foamboard ,balsa and card and let the ship building commence!

I have three kids and three pirate teams so I need three small ships. Starter ships in LOTHS have four guns so I will start with them.

Here are some pictures of the build so far.

Having made myself a template I can quickly mass produce the hulls. I then just do some slight modifications to personalise each ship. They each will have a different mast and/or sail arrangement.

I have concentrated on the first ship, a fairly standard topsail schooner rig for a small sloop.

The last picture has a Eureka miniatures Turkish pirate on board for scale.

More pictures to follow.

Cheers

Fuzzy

Ship looks great.
Looks to be the perfect size for playing on an average wargame table.

Interesting, thank you! Ship hulls curved around the bow are difficult to make.

Hello all a quick update.

I have finished the first two hulls and I will paint them before tackling the sails and rigging etc.

I am taking a short break to put some paint on some figures and recharge the batteries before tackling the final hull.

Cheers
Fuzzy
