It is very early on in the process as I am still at the experimentation stages - I will have a look at both methods and then see which looks better.<br /><br />Certainly the concept is perfectly viable as some of my mock ups have proven - the ancient galley looked fine and so by extension the 16th century should also be OK.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-41468312604433577062012-04-04T06:25:28.030+01:002012-04-04T06:25:28.030+01:00Hi Geordie,

So, I would leave the largest ships as you propose but as well as trimming the gieght & width of smaller ships I would also trim a slight amount of length to increase the suggestion of aize difference, perhaps 3 3/4, 3 1/4, 2 3/4. Not a true scale differential but instant visual recognition.Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-67141329722998323372012-04-03T22:06:48.794+01:002012-04-03T22:06:48.794+01:00I still am mourning the loss of your 1/3000 kitI still am mourning the loss of your 1/3000 kitGeordie an Exiled FoGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01002743056274635657noreply@blogger.com
