That is cool, but 50 pounds/$75 is quite a bit...

Every now and again I've given thought to using some Pendraken AWI troops to play out nation vs nation or pirate-type boarding actions.  Shibber me timbers.

V/R,

That would involve rigging! :(

Lemmey,

Sure, rigging would be needed. 

I'd rather do rigging than shell out $150 to have two boats to play with...  :(

V/R,
Jack

For £50 you get all the cannons and crew as well

*Ahem* I seem to remember writing that Pendraken should produce something like this a few years ago.

My argument went something like "Pleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease oh pleeeeeassse.  :'( :'( :'( :'( :'("

HMS Victory was 69m long, a Flower Class Corvette 62m long. Not a huge difference. I must confess I was thinking more of a frigate than a 3rd rate, but there you have it.  :>

really keen on this for my Quebec project, I don't think £50 is too much, especially with crew

That's a 46cm long model...  :o  I do wonder if things like this could be in MDF, which would bring the costs down massively.

If you could get the curves right and not be too fiddly to assemble MDF would be great. Doubly so if you could set it up so you have access to the interior decks!

I have a 1:150 scale Revell Batavia which I "waterlined".  Its about 30cm long and works a treat with 10mm.

Bought it off evil bay for £12!

Bargain  ;)
