It doesn't match the art I did long ago but this is way cooler.

It is!

What are the trangular sections doing?

Space sails?

Richard, Wayne was right.

Very stately. Kind of steampunk. I like.

It looks fragile to pick up.

I like the new design.

The Hispaniolans swiped the centerline sail orientation and are still working around some technical issues that come with printing vertical planes. I know these sails print, plus I was trying to come up with a hull layout that explained those weapon arcs.

(The wings are curved for strength with massive support struts. Breaking them takes some work.)

Think they would survive a fall off a 28" - 30" high table onto a hard-wood floor??

I kinda like it.

Just need to paint up the solar sails with some Britainian heraldry for that authentic look.

Are there simulator pirates? I can see some of the more flamboyant Orions wanting one of these.

An abandoned Old Kings merchant ship found by Orions and used to scare civilians.

Bluebeard, Blackbeard, and of course Yellowbeard.

Are we ready to move forward with this?

By Steve Zamboni (Szamboni) on Wednesday, June 19, 2019 - 03:12 pm: Edit

It's prohibitively expensive under the new pricing formula. I'm seeing if the sails can be sprued to bring the price down (along with thinning the hull a bit).

Proceed when you can. Not really urgent.

If you have time, some progress here would be swell. If not, another time, perhaps.
