[Hope this is in the right place as I've got a couple different thoughts going here...]
The Situation:
Almost done with my "Maiden" Build (thought of naming her the "Maeve Jonas", but may save that for the greytone version). Working now on the masts with 3D yardarms. [Can someone tell me how the double-boom is supposed to work/fit together?] Then just have to outfit her (decorate) with furniture, guns and cargo...
The Kitbash:
For her diorama setting (a dock using the wood piers from Skull Cove), I am kitbashing a Loading Ramp - still in the GIMP graphic stage - using the front short wall of the merchant stall as the ramp floor and modifying the wood fence for the siderails. [Both components from Village Works...oh, yeah, I've been doing my research -
]. I'll send pics upon completion *soon* to see if there is any interest of this tidbit being submitted.The Question: What about the ship's longboat?
a) What have any of you used? (I know there is the one in Skull Cove, but I'm not really hip with the white with blue trim coloring (clashes with the "Maiden"s beauty), and I don't have the skills yet to modify that. Have any of you kitbashed something else to use?
b) Where should it be stowed aboard ship other than perhaps hanging off the stern?
