I figure sticking a layer od thin plastic sheet on the bottom would be easier but it’s not that bad of an issue except for this example ship. I actually like how it rocks a little, ship like.
@Beardedgoblin
First thing was to draw out the main sham of the waterline one paper and cut out the plastic base. I used thicker plastic for the previous ships but screwed up for this example and used thinner plastic as a result the waterline warped pretty bad.
I cut the waterline one sid at a time, finalizing the conture and traced it on paper to shape the other side.
I cut out a template for the side of the hull in paper first. Test fit and trim as needed before cutting plastic.
Prescore the plank lines while it’s flat and before gluing. Also pre-bend the bow by wrapping it around some stick to make it easier later on.
For the other 3 boats I started by gluing the stern first, it’s the straightest/flattest part of the hull so less stress. For thisone the stern is as curved as the bow so I glued the midship first. After it sets I did the stern and cut out the prow to fit and glued the bow.
Stuck a thick slab of plastic along the middle to help stiffen the hull but also later on to hold the mast.
Paper template for teh deck and then cut plastic. This was the most time consuming as getting it to fit snuggle takes a lot of trimming and fine filing the edges. Don’t forget to score the plank lines before gluing. I always draw a line down the cenerline of the ship for the plank so I can also use it as s guide for the mast.
I’ll need to putty fill that gap in the bow. It fitted well when I tested but I glued the rear deck to the plastic slab first so it mught have shifted and the bow didn’t fit as well.
Bulkhead, stern and roof are done the same way as the deck but I didn’t need the paper templace and used the hull as a ruller onto the plastic itself. These are a lot more straight forward compared to the deck because they’re on the edge and isn’t nested inthe hull.
Rudder is the last thing before the mast.
No plans for aztecs, I’m lazy like that.
I really like the little boat. The masts also got in the way of my fingers.
Hmmm Vilayet pirates, looks interesting especially the less clothed and leather armored one. I can’t get my head behind metal armor for pirates, probably no shields either.
I like this guy’s baggy bottoms and shoulder armor.

Lady Adjutant Jarette Domongatt and her personal attendants stumbled into some farmers.
A spoiled brat, the youngest daughter of Lord Domongatt of Heidel. Her military appointment was intended to occupy her time and keep her out of trouble, instead she out rank her commander on the nobility heirarchy and it gave her free reign to galavant across the land as she wish.
Her standard bearer and handmaide is her voice of reason. Constantly reminding her to behave herself and periodically report Lady Jarette’s activities to her father.
Thanks.
I get the JRPG comment a few times, I don’t really see it myself but these were based on characters in computer games so it makes sense.Lady Adjutant Jarette leading with a combined force of guards and villagers against a clan of Lurkers.

Decided to change the way I did playing area. Going for set piece, diomara style towns and villages, I think it fit better with these fantasy games and how Five Leagues from the Borderlands works. Need to finish the houses, but I don’t like how the town wall looks like dragon scale.
Did two 15mm sculpts and managed to almost finish them. These were to help me pose my 6mm people.
On the left is the first mini I ever sculpted, over a decade ago, 15mm, no nose and very anime. I was such a powergamer back then, two handed sword, heavy armor and battle pose.
They are indeed amazeballs.
Good skills on everything really.I am half tempted to try and persuade you to do me some 15mm sculpts…
😀
I did them as stand alone locations rather than modular terrain. Wanted to have recogniable landmarks for my campaign but didn’t want to build the entire area. Thinking about it, I could expand the town by adding districts, unconnected but recognisable as part of the same town.

Not sure why, sorry.
