I've been a member here for a while now and I just realised that I have not clocked in and said hello, so....Hello!!
I have two builds in progress at the moment.
First is a cheap Chinese "Black Pearl" that came with very poor castings of the Wicked Wenches and a figure head that was way out of proportion. I've done a bit of modification (including moving the capstan) to make it more a generic East Indiaman.
My other build is a 1:120 Chinese Newport baltimore clipper. Again I have heavily modified it. Changes include adding 6 more guns, making it 10 instead of 4. I have also added a steering wheel instead of the standard tiller. I haven't stepped the masts yet, but when I do, I'm thinking of rigging as a schooner rather tha a clipper. If it looks silly, I can always add yardarm and rigging.
