The Ship gets much closer to compleation. Most of the main details are finished. The mast is up and I only have the sales, sculpting , and pianting to go.
Here are some unpainted crew minis for scale refference.
A shot of the ship with a few more details. The mast and bowspirt, tiller, and hatches.
The Gaff and Boom in place and the fighting top (crows nest) and cabin door.
A closeup of the fighting top. This type of crows nest has no sides so sharpshooters can shoot from it with less restriction.
A closeup of the tiller. It's made from Balsa. I should have made it from bass wood and made it and the shaft the same piece.
The rudder made from bass wood. I think it is dead sexy! Came out just as I wanted it to.
A port I made from copper wire I flattened. It's for an anchor chain. I'll need to putty it just a little.
A shot of the ship from the bow. I had just added the stairs up to the quarter deck.
A closeup of the stairs and cabin door. Also a good shot of the aft hatch. I think I need to add a top step to the stairs.
A shot of the ship as she stands now. On the the detail sculpting and the sails.
