I thought I'd share my enthusiasm with Napoleonic warfare and show you guys the model ship I'm building. Its a British mortar Vessel, made almost completely of wood, namely, limewood and walnut, and cast metal for the guns ect. All rigging is as on the original, all 60 odd metres of it, using the same knots and ties, blocks. Its still in the birthing stages, but first planking is complete now.. Anyway, take look at the image dump below....

I'd love to see a vessel like this in the game, and of course a coastal fort to bombard too would be nice.
