Whether you're gamers are die-hard swashbucklers or you simply need a ship for a crucial plot point, the Maiden will fill a long time void in many RPG genres
A proud item to display on the gaming table and equally suited for the fireplace mantel ;) But what makes the Maiden especially unique is her ability to separate decks "on the fly", allowing for multiple, simultaneous levels of game play and combat!
The sterncastle, forecastle and main hull are all independent sections. Each has a roof that is easily removed to access interior elements with ease. Combat and general movement can take place on all decks simultaneously without the need to re-order other sections. The lower decks even accommodates a number of ornately detailed free floating walls, allowing you to create practically any interior hull layout.
With the Maiden's unique mast and yard design users can configure their ships sails in any number of ways in "real time". Simply drop on the sail of your choice to change the look and feel of the ship. Even show "raised sail states" with a number of raised sail designs. A great way to give players a sense of what state the sails are in during a bad stretch of weather ;)
As usual WorldWorks has provided you with a number of highly detailed interior props to "dress" the inside of your ship and give it a rich pirate flair! From the captain's desk strewn with maps to the sweat stained hammocks, each element and texture have been carefully crafted to give you an authentic nautical feel. Bed trunks, tables, chairs, cargo crates, weathered cannons and of course the dreaded "plank" all add to an environment that will make your players feel like they are really there!
WorldWorks has incorporated the use of Ink-Jet transparencies for elements such as complex riggings, knotted roping (ratlines) and windows, which have been rendered with incredible detail specifically to be printed on transparencies.
To create a convincing ocean worthy of your creation we've put together a large format area of water with specular lighting, reflectivity's and wave effects.
Extend the central hull as long as you like, add more masts, change sail designs, make her stubby, make her long. There is monstrous kitbashing potential here. Build one, build a fleet!
So what are you waiting for? Get sailing ya scurvy ridden scalawag!

BUY THIS SHIP NOW!!!! I don't care if your game system or campaign doesn't have a use for it, or if you aren't presently playing... This kit is the kind of immersive building project that brings back those childhood days of wonder and obsession over a "pet project". The instructions are clear and concise, the parts and textures print clean, and the build...
...Well, the build is rewarding, to say the least. Just take your time and don't "cut corners", so to speak. If you've built cardstock before, no worries here, and if it's your first foray, the "DOH!" moments will soon be replaced by smiles and pride. Just make sure you have the space to display this puppy, so your friends/fellow gamers can drool...Pick up some foamcore as well, as it is ESSENTIAL for this build.

A time and supplies consuming build but despite the complexity of the model kit, relatively easy to build thanks to the clear instructions, good geometry of the set (everything fits!) and well thought out design.
The ship itself once built is fairly sturdy and should survive gaming relatively well.
Very impressed. It is huge btw...
