[MoW] Sailing the seas of cheese!

[berzerkmonkey]

Actually, I'm a little further along than the photo would lead you to believe. All but one set of Corsairs have sails and the only things remaining are to add pennants and attach to the bases and touch things up.

I drew up new sails in Photoshop and added a nice gradient to them for a little visual pop. Sadly, you can't tell that in the photo, and it isn't too noticeable in real life either. Bummer.

On the Buccaneers are some masts I had printed up at Shapeways. I think they came out pretty well - they're a little rough due to the material selection, but I think they are a good replacement for the impossible to get original masts. I used up almost my entire supply of masts and yards on this fleet - not sure what I'm going to do for my other fleets now...

All in all, I will have two Galleons, two squadrons of Corsairs (6 ships,) and four squadrons of Buccaneers (12 ships!) That's a lot of sails and pennants...

I can notice the gradient, either that or it's natural shadow. Looks good either way though. I hope they swabbed their poop decks in preparation for the thorough rogering my Empire is going to administer.

Their poop decks are absolutely gleaming, I can assure you. You just make sure you have plenty of caulk in hand to repair all the holes I'm going to pound into your keel.

Hmmm very nice. It won't be too hard to play them with the same colour ? You will add different sails ?

My bretos are more like historical painting. Black, mainly, with red sails.

Pennants, my man! http://www.forum.specialist-arms.com/index.php?topic=6732.0

I haven't finished the ships yet, so I didn't post any pics here.

I was thinking of going historical, but I'm finding crazy bright colors work better for smaller scales.

I see you uses Litko markers too. I love to have them for my MOW games. Always pleasant to see flourish missed shot markers around your ships
