The yellow tape to yellow tape length is including the bowsprit. They then set the figurehead in the appropriate position relative to the bowsprit tip and the stern. Oh. That's shorter. I don't want it anymore. 1 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glitterwolf Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 Those figureheads make great busts/large minis on their own.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was discussion on Reaper Live about that same thing - many were asking about bust options for them. Ron and Ed seemed receptive to the idea. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaganMegan Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 I am pretty sure we are getting two of the ship. Maybe three. Ghost, Pirate, and Hero. Tempted to get a bunch of WizKids ballista, but cannon is more fitting for most pirate games. Maybe get two larger cannons, chase guns, with chests of chain shot. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteWulfe Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 I strongly suspect I'm getting at least one of the ships, although more than that is hard to say. Dragon Busts on the other hand, those are way too tempting... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disciple of Sakura Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 I'll only be getting one ship. Only way I'd be able to justify 2 to my wife is if we win the lottery... 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glitterwolf Posted February 2, 2020 Share Posted February 2, 2020 I will get one, I don't like duplicates. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much the same here, although I suspect the other part of said equation is where would I put a second one? That's a rather large boat to have in one's living room, to say the least. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 As gorgeous as the ship is, I just cannot justify the space it would soak up. Sadly... 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m on the same page as you. The amount of storage space it requires (and the amount of time it would take me to assemble and paint it) vs the number of times I’d actually use it in a game, just don’t justify the purchase to me. I have a sailing ship already that’s about 15” and that has served me well enough so far for any pirate ship needs I’ve had. I love it though, and if I get some windfall of money I still would consider it; as it is a once in a lifetime bargain at the KS price. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the idea to mount them forward, near the anchors...? (I am a little surprised it has no chase guns as designed.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maciej Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I'll consider magnetizing the figureheads so I can swap them around. I'd also contemplate adapting the dragon bust for it, if it's the right size. On cannons: Pillars of Eternity 2 has these flame-thrower cannons with dragon heads on them, would love to see something like that. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crowley Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 If I get one (likely, but not certain... Its so big) it will only be one, and I'll find every excuse to use it in every game... 4 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haldir Posted February 3, 2020 Share Posted February 3, 2020 I'm getting 1 ship. I bought it with my initial pledge. I figured even at the KS price, I'd better use what I already have in there for it. It'll be a nice to compare it & the Falling Star Unpainted I got last month. (Dang, I'm gonna need allot of "wood" colors............) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a dockside tavern, built in the hulk of an old sailing ship." "As you ride across the desert, you see a sand ship approaching in the distance." "When you reach the top of the mountain, you find what appears to be a shipwreck. You have no idea why it might be there, but you suspect that 'a wizard done it'." 3 4 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
