Gentlemen,
With all this Captain John E. Doolittle stuff (and that's not over - go
http://www.hinet.net.au/~guinan/doo.htm and see where its up to and make
your mark), I find myself hankering for a decent pirate ship. Not one of
these RR or AF builds - I mean like the Agamemnon
http://www.hinet.net.au/~guinan/aga.htm only shorter, being built up from a
standard RBR hull. Two gun decks, eight ports a side, plus bow chasers and
aft cabins, probably two square rigged masts
I have massed all the necessary pirate gear (hull, masts, rigging, plates,
banners, cannons etc).
I find myself short in the special blocks department.
2x2x3 (wxdxh) high slopes, 2x2x1 & 1x2x1 inverse slopes, 1x2x3 inverse high
slopes lattice windows (either kind), and those 2x2ish banner thingies used
as gunport shutters - this sort of stuff. Some I just haven't got, some I
have not got in long enough suits.
Even if I curb my avarice, and go for a Sutherland style vessel, I'll still
need most of these (just not so many high slopes).
Can you suggest some worthy sources?
Richard
Still baldly going...
