Here's a few of the online Cog photos that I selected as inspiration. They were taken from www.tallship-fan.de. Since my ships, like my Elastolin figures, are meant to be toys rather than accurate models, any resemblance to the real thing is vague at best.

| A few details to be added, as well as 4 more ships to be finished. |
Born and raised in the suburbs of Montreal, 5 years in the Black Watch of Canada Cadets, 5 years at the Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean followed by 4 in the navy. 25 years with CPC in IT simultaneous with 23 years running a boarding kennel. Inherited my love of toy soldiers from my mother's father. Married with a pack of Italian Greyhounds and 3 cats. Prematurely retired and enjoying leisure to game, maintaining our 160 yr old farmhouse and just living.
Looking good.
ReplyDeleteA few shields around the stern castle will draw the eye away from any minor anachronisms
ReplyDeleteI was about to write that I didn't have any spare shields when I have a Prince August viking mould with a separate shield. I'll consider that. Thanks.
DeleteRoss Mac,
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a cog to me!
All the best,
Bob
Splendid ship, really works for me!

Thanks. They're starting to look better as the paint goes on.
DeleteThat has turned out well ,
ReplyDelete4 more to go!
DeleteRoss, are some of these the old Pressman one? They're coming-up very well, aren't they?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure who made the original version. My older brother got one complete with rowboat, lanterns and pirates.
Deleteps: The one I........'inherited' (when he wasn't around and after he dropped toys for sports and guitars) was acquired in the very early '60s.
DeleteThat was what I was thinking. Much used on the old Major General Tremorden Rederring website.
ReplyDeleteThose photos from tallship-fan.de sound like a fantastic source of inspiration! Even if your ships are meant to be toys rather than accurate models, capturing the essence of historical designs can add so much charm and character. It’s always exciting to see how creativity can transform a concept into something unique and playful.
