It's a SHIP!

 

 

 

32 inches of playable deck area.
37 inches with the bowspirit.
9 inches wide.

I had NO power left in my Fire, and you drop THIS on me?! I have 25% and dropping, but I AM going to post!

 

Me, oh, my, oh, me-oh!

 

We have this sort of half wall between kitchen and living room, about three and a half feet tall and four feet long. Right in front of our painting table.

 

Right now it is covered with half painted minis, but I know what WILL be going there!

 

I would LOVE to see kits for customizing this beauty.
 

Strange to say, I have no urge to paint this baby, this has Grump written all over it, in neon markers, under a black light.

Oh, I'm all over that.

And these. Oh, my.

 

I may need to put off my Norse game for a tiny bit.

I can't believe it. They actually did it. Now, how many otter pirates will it take to properly handle "Sophie's Scourge"?

 

Let's see, 4-5 per gun, with at least 32 guns, plus ship rigged with probably 20 topotters per mast, plus marines, officers, carpenters, cook, ... and 20% more for illness and injuries.

 

Call it 250 or so.

 

Frigates were crowded.

 

You might not want to try to fit all of them on the model.

Looking at the size of those anchors it's going to take something a bit stronger than an otter to work the capstan.

This.

 

I don't want a distinctive figurehead; I don't want a carved name. I don't want skull finials. I don't want to have to take things off to get to the basic ship.

 

But for the packaging, call it whatever.

name it on the box, no carved name. Multiple figurehead options: None, woman, wings and tail addable to woman. 
 

might as well keep dreaming big!

[PaganMegan]

Welp, I know what movies we are watching on Sunday night. PotC (mine!) and Master & Commander (Grump!).

[Xiwo Xerase]

Hm.  So how long after fulfillment will someone modify theirs to use 14106: Dark Maiden as the figurehead?

 

Is a name given for Razig's ship?

They did specifically mention in the stream that they are planning to do detachable figureheads options, so you can swap them out.

[redambrosia]

Hubby thinks it would be good to have two of these. Just in case for ship to ship battles

Well, there's the ship everyone has been screaming for.  I just happened to remember Reaper Live was on, and stopped in the middle of making dinner to see if they'd revealed anything, and it popped up on screen. Wow!  Wonder how many parts that will come in. 

 

And.... folks on KS are already complaining that it will cost too much and they won't pledge for it after all.  

i mean, anything else of this size for the cost is going to be a pain in the tushy to put together. I’ve seen those kits. They’re more obnoxious looking than the barge decor.

I was just wondering the same thing. I have her just waiting to be painted.

Fortunately it is easy to create sea serpents of suitable size. (I am betting that either Pingo or Pingo's Husband is familiar with this documentary...)

 

The Auld Grump - yes, auld.

Hey!

I saw this when it first came out!

Fond memories of my yooth.

Run the Norse game! You'll love it. I ran one for 4 years; it was a blast.

I recommend Treasure Island, the 1990 version with Charlton Heston and a young Christian Bale and you've never heard of it before now because it's 'too faithful' to the book so critics didn't find it fun or light-hearted or all those things the book isn't.

I recommend the Black Flag series from Starz and available on Amazon Prime is excellent series

Agreed. It's great. I need to get back into it. 

 

Biggest bummer was the dude with glasses getting replaced in the second season (the first actor developed a brain tumor & died).
