Eric, Any good ideas on how I could make a suitable small boat to serve as a dispatch boat? Maybe some modification and shrinking of the scout ship? Thanks ...
A dispatch boat is probably similar in size to the Roman Scout ship. You may try to reduce its size by 90% or 80% of original, but I think the scout ship is OK...

Eric, I was wondering if there is any chance, given your schedule, that Anthony's ships will be completed in the near future? If possible, I would like to take...

Thanks, and sure thing - feel free to use them on the site. If it generates sufficient interest to warrant it, I can knock together a quick picture tutorial...

Hello Doug, I can post your "How To" picture process tutorial to the Roman Seas website and give it it's own page. There are probably a large number of people...
Doug - the links came through garbled, and cut... see below for what I mean... can you post a link to your album instead? maybe it would be shorter... I tried...
The basics are (from earlier post): - ships printed on 8.5x11" full sheet adhesive labels (which stick MUCH better, and are more moisture resistant than plain...
