Y'know, the more I look at it.... 

 

...The more I want to give the Catoblepas a top hat, a monocle, and a cane.  That's right, for some reason I want to turn a party killing monster into a dapper... Player killing thing... 

 

If you do this, I must insist on the addition of a a bow tie.

No sails or rigging for the ship

Good, they really are a pain in the neck for playability. 

 

They needed to decide of they were making a model ship, or a piece for gaming; so glad they are leaning towards the gaming side.

Anybody else having problems with Twitch blowing up as soon as they start talking about the Pizza Dragon?

Okay, not really any new, serious info today. They did like the idea of the top hat catoblepas.

My problem with twitch is stuff staying on twitch instead of migrating over to youtube at some point. Getting news from the forum is great and all but work is becoming a thing again. Twitch is blocked at work, youtube is not.

Makes sense.

 

I’d kind of like optional shrouds for aesthetics, but even that is getting ambitious.

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. 

As many as six men per gun for the larger cannon - with 2 and 6 being the men that hauled on the ropes to bring the cannon back to the gunport after being loaded.

 

My son John was tall and slim,

And he had a leg for every limb.

But now he has no legs at all,

For he lost a race with a cannonball....

If there were little rings or something on the booms (horizontal beams, yeah?) then we could easily attach cloth sails ourselves and make it look half decent.

Well, you can leave it up to the buyer that way if they are dedicated enough to add them.

I'm sure it's entirely coincidence that not ten minutes after I post this youtube happens to contain both yesterday's Reaper Live and today's Bones 5 livestream

So, we're less than $10,000 out now.

I guess we'll DING late at night TX time, or the wee  hours of the morning...

I figured if I wanted rigging and whatnot, I could add it myself. But yeah, I just seems like it would get in the way.
