This is what I built:
It is a nice 10'=1" scale model, my players loved it and we had a blast playing on it but its time has come to de-clutter my gaming area. My friend from Colorado Springs was going to take it but his entire game fell apart during SoS.
You can have it for free but it will be pick up only. (Way too big to ship)
I live in Albuquerque New Mexico and it is available first come first serve.
If you are positive you want it please email me at: alarikdafu (at) hotmail.com and post here.
I have also offered my version of the wreck but so far haven't had any takers. Maybe because it's buried in the other thread or possibly because no one is interested.
Go to The Wreck.
Either way the offer still stands. I really don't have a use for it any longer.

Ronin... would you be able to ship yours???
oh not for a while... last night we finished Tides of dread. I live in kansas City MO and would gladly play for shipping. Let me know and I'll get you my address. I can paypal you the S/H. I'd even pay to ship the logs too!
Question: why did you get it printed at kinko's in black and white? Was it more cost effective that way?
Lemme know about shipping... and once again... awesome work!

Holy crap. That is one mean papercraft you have there. Top notch work!

A color version of the map I used would have been $120. The black and white version was $9.50. That was the deciding factor for me. Since that was the case I made all of the deck plans in black and white as well.
I'll start taking it down this week. Once I get it all together I'll see how much it will cost to ship. I did use a clear piece of plexiglass to attach the "trees" to (there are screws underneath), did you want that as well?
Hmmm... anybody know how much it costs to ship a 6'x3'x2' light-weight box? (~4 pounds) (Yes, I know the offer was for Ronin's, but I am curious...)
Unfortunately mine cannot be disassembled it is held together by glue, duct tape and the demonic forces of the abyss.
I have no clue. The only thing that comes to mind that is similar to that size is a Christmas tree box. Once I get the one I used all packed I'll ask when I go to the post office.
I'll let you know what I find out.

Alarik, please check your Yahoo account!!!!!
Ronin,
I know you have already given your wreck away (and the postage to Australia would have been excessive).
But is it possible to get an email with the maps you based it on, so I can print it out over here. (A no will not insult me).
I purchased the Maiden of the High Seas from Go to World Works Games. I used it for the Sea Wyvern so we got a ton of use out of it. When I decided to build the wreck I just printed out multiple deck plans and trimmed them up accordingly. I glued them on to a stiff material (I used old pole signs from my work that were being tossed out), after that it was just a matter of finding the right size branch to attach them to and finish the job.
All you need to do is spend $15 on the PDF and your set. If you have any questions just ask, I'll help in any way I can. I am sure it could be done better with some more brains putting some thought into it!
Good luck!
I did use a clear piece of plexiglass to attach the "trees" to (there are screws underneath), did you want that as well?Sure... whatever I need to reproduce those amazing pictures you posted on your blog! My players are going to FREAK-the-F**K-OUT! LOL
Thanks so much for this Ronin YOU ROCK!!!!!
My players freaked out as well. They just sat there staring at it with their mouths hanging open for a few minutes. I think they liked it better than the Maiden of the High Seas I built for use as the Sea Wyvern (though their response was similar for that as well).

Small world. Just got settled in ABQ. No room for your model ... but you don't have a gaming group? Hmmmm.
Small world. Just got settled in ABQ.
Welcome to the 'Querque!
No room for your model ... but you don't have a gaming group? Hmmmm.
I have a gaming group actually... it is still going strong (It was my friend's group in CS that fell apart not mine).
If you are looking for a game yourself try Active Imagination or Collector's Paradise, they both have active gamer communities.
I have posted on their bulletin boards in the stores for takers for my Wreck as well but still no takers.
We game at my friends house and and he is pretty charitable about the space but he is hinting that I need to get rid of it soon.
If you have any friends in ABQ email them and keep this from going to the dumpster... :'(
i live in albuquerque, i prolly have room for it, but i dont know how useful it would be. what are the dimensions?
you are quite tallented, thats for sure. it looked great. have you ever thought of doing a small town or city?
Eyeballing in my minds eye it is ~5'x3'x2' but it stores upright (map vertical) just fine. I'll get a better measurement this weekend.
A far as doing more work, my wife's patience for projects runs thin sometimes so I don't have any plans for any more projects any time soon. (It lived at our place on the dining room table for three week during the build)
Though... she did help me with my Sea Wyvern which came out killer (not a quickie job like this map) so I gotta give her some credit. :)
]well...
Now I have to see pics of the Wyvern.
Your wish is my command.
I started with the WorldWorks Maiden. Many people had commented on the scale being wrong so I made some mods:
Instead of using the "1 inch" scale set of plans I took the "Click grid" scale ones and printed them out a 68% size (write down that number, it took a lot of testing). This made the grid on them exactly one inch and scaled down the ship perfectly. That and I added Wyvern graphics to the sails.
We constructed it with foamboard, transparencies from Kinkos, photo paper for the hull, matte paper for the sails and every kind of glue known to man.
The bottom deck/bilge was not included in the Worldworks set so I printed it out from Dungeon, kit-bashed some hull walls out of construction paper and filled it with crates. I set it beside the ocean map since it was below the level of the water.
When it was all done I was feeling spicy so I made a long boat and dingy set from scratch on my PC (using Macromedia Fireworks), printed and glued them together. Then I fitted them to custom mounts on the deck.
-->Here are the plans. Use them and enjoy just give me credit. :)
My best memory: During Sea Wyvern's Wake the party was trying to ambush Rowyn and she ends up leading them on a wild chase through out all the decks while terrorizing the colonists to sow confusion. She kept sniping and withdrawing with the PC desperately trying to draw a net around her. The real terrain as she dodged from hatch to hatch and across the rigging made it worth all the work.
BTW: My Wreck is indeed 5'x3'x2' One of my friends mentioned that it could be shipped cheaply in a "dish pack box" but I don't have time to check it out. If someone want to do the research and wants to pay shipping let me know.
I have also offered my version of the wreck but so far haven't had any takers. Maybe because it's buried in the other thread or possibly because no one is interested.
Go to The Wreck.
Either way the offer still stands. I really don't have a use for it any longer.
Very well done!
