Description
Custom ships for Pirates CSG made with 3D printed PLA and laminated glossy vinyl decals. This is for a Custom 6 Masted Junk.
Production lead time: 2 business days (prior to shipping)
There are two options for creating your own custom ship artwork – this Inkscape SVG file (editable template and my preferred way to make ship artwork), or this PNG artwork template (blank and ideal if you want to just draw from scratch). If you use the PNG template, please download this document for inputting your custom ship stats and abilities. When it’s ready, reply to your purchase confirmation email with the completed document as an attachment.
- Deckplate: 3.5″x2.5″ (regular card size), double sided
- Disclaimers: These are made with additive manufacturing, so there is only 1 card per ship (the deckplate card). The models are still constructible, but you do not punch them out of cards. In addition, there are some areas of the ship where there is a little less artwork due to the overlapping parts where the decals would otherwise pinch up. However, those areas are mostly not visible once the ship is constructed.
Pre-made customs available: (Warning: Unless otherwise noted, I have not playtested these)

I designed the Canghai Shi, the custom six-master featured on this sale page.
The ship itself is made of a 3D-printed polymer, not the polystyrene of the official sets. It’s thicker and slightly heavier than an official 6-master, but the product is much more durable – very little chance of snapping a mast accidentally. You don’t need to bend the deck or stern of the ship nearly as much to get it to fit into the slots of the hull, and it’s very easy to assemble. The decals aren’t printed on, they’re stickers. The stickers give the ship a slightly laminated look, but from table distance the ship fits in nicely with pieces from official sets. The stickers are also glued pretty securely, I’ve never had an issue with one of them falling off my Canghai Shi.
If you make custom ships, I would definitely trust Ben to produce them. I’m really happy with how this one turned out.
Ben –
Thanks matey, glad you’ve enjoyed it!
