Obviously I was going to buy into Black Seas. I really enjoy cruel seas and I love my Napoleonic naval combat so this was a given.
So here is my first 1/700 scale frigate, rigged and with paper sails. The rigging was slightly more complex than on a 1/1200 as it had to be more accurate. However, the models are designed to make rigging as easy as possible. She is currently awaiting ratlines and a decision on basing. I am tempted to do a sea base as I have done with other naval games.
Really nice miniatures and looking forward to playing the game.
What a beauty. I'm highly tempted of getting myself into this adventure. The paper sails look like a bummer to me, but I have to say yours look nice. What was it like assembling them? Do they work in hand?
ReplyDeleteThey work pretty well. Obviously I'd prefer brass etch - and there are 1/700 PE available at £10 a pop but these look ok and work fine for the moment. No idea how long they'll last though!
DeleteIt does look rather splendid.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Looking forward to getting the rest done. Should make refightibg Trafalgar with Year 9 History more interesting
