More on the cruiser

 Just to keep everyone up to date?

I've just tacked the card on the hull with a Pritt Stick to have an idea how well it fits. Adding the sides makes a big difference to the look of the ship. Overall looking good but not sure it will take 3 masts...

Central battery looks good - think I'll stick with 4 guns rather than go up to 6.Have to do some sails with full rigging before I decide if the ship can take it - not sure if a sail here would be too much, or possibly stick a ship's boat in the middle?

Gun shields look good even if they are very crudely done. I've taken the shields to the floor for stability!

Main things still to think about - 2 masts or 3, black hull or white hull?

  1. The gun shields are great, coming along splendidly!

    1. To be honest, haven't thought of a use for it yet - just wanted to see what it would look like if I made it!
