FigureHead

Post by claymore »

MyGrand-daughter and I have recently been carrying out research with a view to fitting a figurehead to ra fine shup Claymore.

Whilst we have identified what we think would be a suitable model, I would value the opinion of my learned Bluemoment friends

I would prefer the look of wonder in the middle.

However the phys on the left probably has the most appropriate leer for a Claymore.

Whilst ignoring the obvious 'Feeling a right tit' sort of comment, I feel compelled to ask - do many Marcon Claymores have a figurehead?

None that I've seen but I thought I'd be stealing a bit of a march in having one fitted - particularly having watched Master and Commander last evening

From my experience, she's going to need an extended cameltoe to guide the anchor home. The stemhead is chust the wrong angle...

Indeed - I have to say that the sight of the cameltoe does more for me than the Whale Tail
