Eric, I for one have no problems with the Veneti ships being high walled - as long as the historical accuracy is good... I rather like having distinctive ships...
... Quoting the Kentucky Fried Movie, "You have our gratitude!" ... they are quite high, out of the water. I am thinking these look a bit ... Yipe! These'll...
Hello to Al, ... The ships are designed via computer, to historical references, and then built and modified/test built, modified, test built again, etc. They...
... I will see if I can post an image of the finished models in a few days. ... So am I ;-) Some of these ship models have been sitting on my computer hard...
Hello to All, I just finished basing an example of each and every new ship in the two new navy sets. Once I have made the masts and sails, I will be taking...
Hello to All, Do people intend to using rigging on their model ships? Mostly, at least, this would be done for the merchant/sailing ships, although the Veneti...
... Except for one corvus mast, I haven't, as yet, but I'd like to. I plan to make them removable (If I glue a piece of matboard under the deck it should...
I've put pictures of some of my builds in the Photos section of this group, in the "Alex's builds" folder. They include one of my triremes, a quadreme, and a...
... Doh! Based upon the wreck of Nossa Senhora dos Martires, my test piece was actually a little too small - I had to scale it up 7.7%, it will be about 8"...
Can't wait for this set to be released. Caesar vs. the Veneti. This is the period in Roman history that really interests me. I'm very excited about seeing your...
... The crewmen are modifed versions of Patrick Crusiau's free Roman and Gallic figures, downloaded off his Cardboard Warriors site a while ago (the site is...
... It turned out he'd moved his site. His new Cardboard Fighters site is: http://www.gwindel.eu/index.html The Romans (and Gauls, and Greeks, etc) are halfway...
... I really like your wrecked/sinking ships -- this would add to a game. I really like the floating oars. ... I look forward to seeing them! ... Looks nice....
... I guess it does boil down to someone's interpretation when it comes to the Veneti. I suspect that any sunken Veneti ships have yet to be uncovered, or...
Hi Eric, I haven't seen anything in Ceasar's commentaries about the veneti using arty., but I may I have missed something. An interesting item from the...
Eric (and you too Chris!) There is no mention in Caesar's commentaries about Gallic use of artillery. I doubt if if there was any artillery mounted in the...
High John P., Thanx for the more detailed info. You mention a campaign rather than a single game, and that sounds great. I am fiddling with some ACW Trans...
Hi Eric; I understand that Armada and Lepanto ships are farther down the road. Greek and Persian ships shouldn't be too different from what you are doing so...
... I do recall reading that there were Gaulic ships in Ceasar's fleet, but no mention as to how many or even what type of ships these were. I seem to recall...
Hello to all, I have uploaded and placed photos of all the new ship models that we are about to come out with at the Roman Seas website (www.romanseas.com)....
Those Veneti ships are big!!! Do you think they were that round/'coggish'?? I had envisioned more of an enlarged and heightened Saxon type ship. They are still...
Hello Chris, Apparently the Veneti ships were noted not only for their height, but also because they were flat bottomed. The flat bottoms allowed the Veneti...
Yes, I know they were flat-bottomed etc., and about the last major battle and the wind and have and have read the Commentaries and many etcs. Problem is that...
I would think that dragging a boat across a rocky shoreline would be bad news, especially for all the carpenters on board who know that they will be the ones...
BTW: I also uploaded photo of the new building sets: Building Sets 3 and 4. I just have to put together the assembly guides for these and then they will be...
I have also updated the Roman Seas Ship Catalog with the new photos. Once the new ship and building models are available, I will be putting together a complete...
Eric, I think the ship models you have pulled together are superb, and am a big fan. The only bit I personally dislike is having to try and accurately cut out...
... I plan to use a mix of ships to depict the Veneti (a few merchant ships thrown into the mix is probably fine), if for no other reason other than to add...
... At least 50% of my Whitewash City display models were built by my girlfriend. Her only problem with constructing the models is that she builds them too...
