Amazing free 1:600 scale 54-gun warships - Easy to build as well :-)

Hello all,

So our re-creation of the 1426 Battle of Brouwershaven (scenario here) was a success and great fun. But one thing I wanted to show immediately is an amazing source of free ships which also look very good.

Printable, warships, ship, 17th, gunships, cannons, warmaster, scenario, pdf, easy, free

These are examples built by J. Knudsen while those below represents my limited abilities - but only using twenty minutes or so for all three.


A talented guy named Jeffrey Knudsen has a link on his website (Wartisan.com) where from you can download a pdf containing the necessary parts to create these very nice ships:

 They are 17th century warships in 1:600 scale (although this is quite easy to change by altering the printed size) and the instructions are very easy to follow.

It should be noted that I completely botched these - mixed up the sails, couldn't be bothered with the last mast and the rigging, and yet they still looked very, very nice.


If you set aside more than the twenty minutes or so I used (while watching Supernatural :-)) the results could be quite amazing.

So if you are looking for some quick to build, free ships I simply cannot see why you wouldn't chose these :-).


All the best,
Kasper
