118 gun - 1st rate Ship of the Line - Montagne 1793



The perfect match for those RN 74ers.

Yeah, my 74ers will gladly turn her into match sticks!!

[Berthier]

The model is so large it covers some of the details on card, name etc, she's almost sailing off the stand!

Veer 3, Burden 6 (that's what I see, and that's enough, I guess). But, what intrigues me most, is: how heavy broadside is?

You might guess it has its own maneuver deck, but that is confirmed by the sequencing of the letters. It's deck F

Coming Soon: The "Jesus Christ, It's Heading Towards Us" class ships-of-the-line....

[Jack Aubrey]

I`m here, Sven, we will meet.....maybe with the HMS Victory?

[Diamondback]

The bigger they are, the bigger they BOOM... that sucker's just BEGGING for a fireship. :P

Of course some nice devastating quarterings and rakings would go a long way cutting the monster down to a more manageable size... *Palpatine cackle*

[Capn Duff]

That Ensign is rather large is it not?
Plus one the Royal Sovereign is released I'm sure you'll get a run for your Napoleons :)

I'm a bit torn about the sails. They make sense in light of combat, but something seems a bit off. Regardless, she'll be sailing here come May.

Eric, I know what you mean, but I think with custom ratlines, rigging and a quick wash they'll look great. From the Langton build directions the foremast should be slightly forward, and the main and mizzen masts slightly aft. The fact that the masts are straight up and the yards not angled might be what's odd looking? The space between the foremast and the main mast looks too large, but is comparable to the Langton ships (see the Orient in my avatar). The square upper masts sure don't look right, but again the ratlines and rigging will cover that up. I am glad to see that they furled the bowsprit sail. It will make rigging a bit easier.

Please note that none of this is complaining by the way, just observations in reply to your reaction to the new 1st rates.
