Title: La Real Galley scratched 1:600 scale
Post by: Acronim on September 12, 2019, 08:14:31 PM
Hi all,

After two weks of working in my leisure, finally I can share with you my new La Real galley. Sure you know as flagship of the Holy League navy in Lepanto.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_(galley) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_(galley))

As usual, the materials was foamed PVC, wires, needles, plasticard, staples, and transparent plastic sticks. Crew is from Peter Pig.

Flags are made in photografic paper and are interchangeable, I need find a compromise that allows me to improve the appearance without compromising the pieces in a specific side or nation in order to add pennants.

Not for me - but hopefully available as soon as Acronim and I agree a suitable scenario ;)

Hopefully you won't have the heart to "sink" it in that scenario  :)

You're right. I was rather planning to capture her by a boarding action  ::)

Just hope you don't get a "catches fire" result on your boarding dice!
