Well not posted for a fortnight, main reason is I have done some odd bits but mainly been busy with building a Galleon for the game…… why err cos ~I could!
Found a lot of the suitable models were a bit pricey for something that is likely to sit at the side of the table most of time, that is until I found the new range of Galleons that TT combat has done for Carnivale and their Streets of Venice range, although not totally right thought with a few modifications would do.
What I didn’t work on was how big it is, and how much of a pain it would be for a clutz like me. There was no part no’s or indication of which frame the parts came from on the online instructions, and some odd bits appear to be missing and had to be manufactured from spare bits of the frames. (if they were on them still haven’t found them)
Well, it was sort of built and began modifications, 1st I added some Swivel guns, using spare 15mm cannon either from the ACW epic starter box or odd Napoleonic Cannon I got in freebies from Warlord Illustrated. They were modified by cutting of the wheel lugs and some of the trail. I added a Crow next using the screw bit on top of fizzy wine bottles, and then cut the head of a plastic unicorn toy that was donated by the 9-year-old.
I intend to stick some white cloth over the sail shapes tying them on with thread post painting , plus I intend to add some deck guns, and cut out the firing ports, but they have been delayed in the post.
There was a thought of don’t paint it leave it as it is but needed to coer up some of my errors and filler on the ship hull so decided to give it an overall spray with GW Zandri Dust rattle can spray, why this shade, I happened to have a full can of it and it looked about right for base.
It looks quite good and match the colour of the Revenge I found on Google.
