AdamC Schooners, Xebec and Corvette

Some more kit bashing using Black Seas brigs.  

First up we have my second Xebec. If you are interested in my build process you can see it on my Blog Fencing Frog: Making Xebecs and thanks again to Guy Bowers for the inspiration and permission to use photos form his blog.

his time I angled the fore mast forward which is sort of key to the Xebec look.

The stern windows taken from an extra frigate piece.

Top sail schooner I've done a few schooners, but this is probably the first one I’m really happy with. 

I cut the sails myself using paper from my daughter's sketch pad.  They do not look as cool as Warlords but good enough.

A smaller schooner more of a sloop or cutter. It makes a good small privateer merchant or warship.

Last a corvette or sloop of war as yet unflagged. It is acting as a merchant ship in my game this Saturday for the Let’s Roll Convention

I had thought about making this a third Xebec but decided I wanted something more flexible. 

I am very happy with how this ship's quarter deck came out. As with all things practice makes perfect.  USS Chesapeake is almost ready to go and USS Constellation is waiting for a few final bits of paint and then rigging.
