Back Again. We have a bunch o' releases incoming, Which I'm not allowed to talk about.
So, in the meantime, I'm designing a boat. There is no ETA for this, but it is progressing nicely.
The Boss has allowed me to do a full on build-log too, which is on our Facepage.

Looks great, would love to see some WW2 era ships / boats. Something like the German E-boat, in particular the S-100, in 28mm / Bolt Action scale

To be totally pedantic, the Charlie Noble was just the Chimney bit. 
Anyhoo, nearly ready to take apart for cutting.
about 700mm (27.5") long (not including bowsprit) and nearly 7" wide.
and here's some classy 'Pencil"renders, 'cos they look cool.
Ah. Seems I threatened to make this back on page 27. New I'd thought about this before....

I've been trying to figure out her class - too small and undergunned to be a normal frigate... some kind of armed merchantman?
Though she does not look to have much cargo hold.
Upgunned East Indiaman? Small, valuable cargoes shipped fast?
Blackwall frigate?

She's what would have been known as a Sloop of War. Swan Class. Small, capable ships that were not quite big enough to be a sixth rate (20 guns or more). Though the extra carronades would have brought her up to twenty. Nominal crew of 125 and 300 tons with a length of 29 meters at the gundeck.

Nice.  I had a suspicion that she was based on a real hull. Nice clean lines.
Hard to recognize a sloop without seeing the rigging.
Freakin' gorgeous.
*EDIT* Blackwall Frigate - 1853
Despite the name, they were armed merchantmen, not ships of the line.

Actually, despite being called sloops of war, they were ship rigged. Bit of a misnomer, really.
anyhoo, laid out most of the parts for the hull.

Have you considered selling the 'pencil sketches' on RPGNow?
Some would be excellent for people that need clip art for a pirates game. (It is possible that I have snatched the ones that you have shown here, for exactly that (unpublished) purpose.)
As a publisher's resource, they would be quite handy.
