Here are more views of the "blue boat"
Basically you can change all the different areas to a variety of colors. The basic wood hull comes in two skins. A light wood with dark details and a dark wood with light details. And then you can add different colors to different details and create gazillions of different boats :-)

Here is a WIP pic for my latest build, including weathering, swivel guns and a Jolly Roger flag (removeable, looks a little weird due to thickness)
If you want to see more, I have added a gallery module on my site. I have added the first gunboat pics there.

Very nicely done. Simplified, but realistic rigging. How do the swivel guns go together?

Yes, I wrap bands of paper around the toothpicks for the gun barrels. For the stand I cut paper for the holder bits, left and right. Then paint everything black with marker pen and glue it together!
At this scale they are so small, I think this is a reasonable way to make them :-)

I made a new gunboat. This time I went for "black ship" theme.
okumarts zombie pirates work really well with the black ship!

Sir,
I am a huge fan and have purchased all the sets so far but I didn't see that the docks were released? Or did I miss those?

thank you very much for your support! These docks were in the "small boats and docks" release in July 2018 on my Patreon. For now the Pirate Fleet series will only be available on Patreon as I am saving these sets for my first kickstarter. If you have missed them there, just write me a short eMail (info@papierschnitzel.com) and we can sort it out. There is always a solution
Cheers Chris

I have started working on the next ship: The Bermuda sloop! Here is a first concept sketch ...
And here is a prototype of the hull.
I love the size and deck space on this one. First I can imagine minis moving around and second this will be the first of my ships to have enough space for cannons! :-)
The stern cabin will be removable, so you can build or game with it or without.
I have to fix some smaller problems before I continue but I looking forward to texturing this!
Chris

Textured the hull and deck structures ... ... and cleaned up some space for minis!

Thank you guys! Working on the masts now. That will be a little challenge to make it work, be sturdy and functional and still look good!

will the cabin have an interior?

will the cabin have an interior? I have not planned anything special for interior for now, but with the parts you can mod an interior (walls and floor). This month I am releasing the first half (hull, deck and cabin) but next month when I do the rest I might have more time to think about interior details.
What would go into the cabin? A captains hammock? log book desk?

More than likely there would also be lockers and chests (I'm currently re-reading Treasure Island, so this could be pure fiction)

At least English sea officers had huge chests, four of which made up a surgery table during emergencies... (so they'd be around at least 50 x 100 cm in dimensions)

If you can trust Oat Krunchies, there would be chairs and weapons on the walls. I'm not sure if that is a desk or table, but there is also a nightstand to the left of the window. Any of these would probably be appropriate furnishings. That is probably the captain's cabin, so things of value would probably be stored there. In the Black Arrow, Shelton steals a ship, and weapons, small arms and a statue of the Virgin were in the captain's cabin.

I get the picture. For the sloop there's not much room anyway, so I am guessing some sort of bed, table and chest would be what would fit. Maybe an arms rack.
Starting to get ideas :-) Thanks!!!

Basically, since the chest already substitues for a table in emergencies, it could substitute for a table all the time. So, you could put a hammock, a chest (or two), a chair, and some kind of shelf into the cabin and have it filled with all a captain would need.

I imagine that Abhovi could be a vast source of information on what should and could be in there

Abhovi is a great idea! Thanks Vermin King I have been working on chests and barrels. So I will also do some hammocks and table. The weapon rack/shelves I might do as wall texture. This could be a nice generic sub set! Thank you for the link shep

Then here is a little preview of the new textured build. As the ship is taking longer than my usual one month release schedule I have to release the hull only this month and then continue with the rig the next. So here is the old, weather beaten hull build :-)
And just for comparison the new and the old. I went lighter and bleached with the wood tone to add to the used look.
