late 19th century pirate forces build up

[JohnPJones1775]

i'll post updates hopefully including pictures of the models, and boats for this game i'm trying to work on.

i now have weapons, and crew members for my river/bay boat.

if i have time and energy after all my chores are done tomorrow, i'll start work on building my custom boat.

not sure if i should prime everything separate and then start gluing or if i want to start getting the weapons put together first and then prime.

ya my only gripe about it, is that in the blog or whatever he says it has an underway endurance of X number of days, and it's too scale for 28mm, but there's no way a vessel that size in proportion to it's crew is doing more than 24 hours away from port. lol.

no space for enough fuel, ammunition, and the necessary spaces to support the crew. lol

but that might just be a criticism only a sailor would have

I've always used metal rulers with Xacto knives when cutting home-made counters, or the limited bit of model building that I've done
