She looks fantastic John.
You definitely went a different way than I thought on this one John, you given me some ideas though, and ship does look grand. I’m no expert but think your cannons are right certainly for English ships.
This is an excellent tutorial for anyone interested in painting a sloop for Blood & Plunder! The step-by-step instructions are clear and easy to follow, and the pictures are helpful for visual learners.
Amazing work on this @johnlyons love the end result and the blue looks especially vibrant!
The drybrush technique works really well on these new plastic ships, something I’ll have to give a go. On the older models the raised detail wasn’t pronounced enough to make that work.
It would get top marks from me, however seeing as I’ve been pestering @avernos to do rigging for so long I think its only fair to take that into account. Lack of rigging results in -5/10 🤣
The ship looks great. Sorry I can’t help with the cannon all I know is which way to point them. I think black(ish) is a good call.
