1/400th Scale Galleons (Home Casts)...

Being blind in one eye and near-sighted in the other, I decided that I wanted to play The Perfect Captain's Sail! in 1/400 scale. Being cheap, I found that if I wanted to do that, I'd have to make my own ships to avoid spending a fortune. Being lazy, I found that I could make a lot of ships if I made moulds and cast 'em by the dozen. Being egotistical I thought I'd show off the fruits of my labor. Being something of a perfectionist, I found that I'm not very happy with the paper sails. Suggestions, anyone? The final goal is to have 8 to 10 different ship types in this scale. Obviously, they'll be somewhat generic but a splash of paint can do wonders to break up the monotony.
