Some new ships
These are some merchant ships for my ancient galley collection. The ones with the white stern posts are Xyston ships. The ones with 'wood' stern posts are my own castings from the mould featured in a previous post. They will definately do!!

Brilliant. Both types look great.
Excellent work!
Which bases do you use? Yours are like someones I bought at wargamesbases.co.uk, but mine are small for my Skytrex 1/600 ships.
Sorry, I can´t find the Fleet of Battle rules at the Piquet Yahoo group. May you help me?
Hi Emilio,
Fleet of Battle was temporarily removed from the Piquet site when it was published in Wargames Illustrated. It is now back (as of now) in the files section as an MS Word doc., or it is available as a free PDF download from Wargames Illustrated.

The bases are balsa wood (home made) and are 75mm long and 32mm wide. After cutting out the balsa bases, but before the ship is glued on prior to painting, the balsa base is sandwiched between two sheets of paper glued on with PVA: This adds strength.
Hope that helps.
James
