Ok guys, let's get back on topic.

nice ship but a bit too white for me , i dream of a ship with wood everywhere but it's must be difficult to do to have a wood effect and not only the color of wood (i made few test on gallo shield but i won't show you my horrible work !!)

I am sure it is not that bad Gaspodfreud!

I am keeping all my ships in post as well,
until they are ready to sail with full guns and crew.
Should be soon.

Very nice ship my friend!  I love it!

btw, did u ever get around to making the deck lid cover?  I wasn't able to spot it in your pics.

Your ship is awesome!  Too bad my immortal crew of piratical miscrients cannot die, else you might be able to steal the Pearl from me.  I can't wait to see your 12-gun ship!  So far I'm at 14, but soon she'll be at 20!  Watch yer rudder WOT!  hehe.

btw, is your ship sea-worthy?  If you ever sail her, make sure and replace the foam down in the bildges, or at least moor her to some floating bouy, and keep a line on her.  Wouldn't want to see her sunk at the bottom of the sea!  Very cool, man!  I love it!

(OT: similar to the jousting tournament, it would be awesome to start a naval battle event.... using Photoshop techniques, I bet we could even get some pics of our custom ships battling each other (without even having to meet up in real life).  Or we should get together and do a real naval battle live! hehe.)

I like each of those ideas!
(The real life encounter best!)

Thanks very much for the compliments Atto.
20 CANNONS!
I need to upgrade my ship... Where to fit more cannons?

Oh, and no, I didn't fill the hole yet. :-/
I keep planning to... but, but, but...
I really need to take the initiative one of these next few days and just do that.

[WarriorOfToys]

in addition to the 6 notches I cut in the main deck railing to accommodate 6 cannons in addition to the 8 stock cannon ports that already come with the ship, I plan to cut 2 more cannon ports on each side of the gundeck (totalling 4 more guns), and one additional cannon port on each side of the main deck (totalling 2 more guns additionally), making a grand total of 20 guns (and still able to float).

Where, praytell, are you planning to add your additional 4 cannons?  Will it be on the gundeck as well?  (I'm planning on adding the gunports between the stern-most guns and the middle guns, as well as the fore-most guns and the middle guns.  If we want to be completely awesome, WOT, we should add 2 forward-facing cannons (mine actually has room for them on the forecastle) as well as 2 aft-mounted "bow chaser" cannons.  The fact that you cut your gundeck to have access to the bildges would be a good opportunity to install chaser guns facing aft just below the captain's cabin, or you can make the captain's cabin completely part of the main gun deck and add the stern chasers from the main gundeck level from inside the captain's cabin (just like the aft-most stock guns that face outward already).  So, potentially, a 3286 ship has the potential to be a 24-gun ship!!!!
