Have you played Sid Meier's Pirates?
Anyways...This project looks sweet! I have to say that I'm not a fan of the yellow/black color scheme though.
You should do one of them in dark red and dark tan...Maybe the small one since dk red isn't very common...
I cannot wait to see the Resolution finished, since that has the best color scheme IMO. Good luck!
P.S. First post in the Eurobrick Forums :)
