Kickstarter ships comparison
A number of us indulged in the recent Kickstarter project from Henry, here on the forum.
So I thought I would show the newly acquired ships in comparison to the Ares versions.
These are the Spanish ships and I do not have the masts as yet, but I will show the hulls and hopefully you can see what they are like and maybe get some yourself, if you have access to a printer, all these are now available on Henry's site, I will get a link posted if enough interest.
so Here is Ares Mahonesa Frigate

Here next to it is Herry Mahonesa class, please excuse the horrible paint job, in my excitement upon receiving I undercoated straight away, but I dont think the model was cured enough and so am having a devil of a job, but if this fails I can get another :happy:

https://www.sailsofglory.org/attachm...9&d=1614770609
as you can see this actually looks a bit smaller than the Ares version, yes I can hear you all gasping, so with this one take your choice, I have all 6 Ares Mahonesa so this was purely to look at for me, but I am sure I will find a use.
Next here is Henry's Santissima, next to our own Clippers version ( all hail Clipper and the Elves), these look pretty much the same with Henry's being a bit larger, so am happy here

Now we get to it, here is Ares Santa Anna
https://www.sailsofglory.org/attachm...8&d=1614770597
now next to Henry's Spanish 1st Rate
https://www.sailsofglory.org/attachm...7&d=1614770566
https://www.sailsofglory.org/attachm...5&d=1614770524
As you can see not MUCH difference:bleh:, unfortunately cant do a full check as no masts as yet, but hull wise this really looks the part to me at least.
Next Ares Spanish 74
https://www.sailsofglory.org/attachm...4&d=1614770509
https://www.sailsofglory.org/attachm...3&d=1614770498
https://www.sailsofglory.org/attachm...2&d=1614770475
Again I think the pics say it all, just need to get the painting correct, but the new ships are bigger are they not. I intend to replace most of my Spanish now, sell off my first rates and maybe relegate my 74 to 64s, especially when the Nepo comes along.
Lastly a couple of pics showing Henry's 74 with Ares 1st wave
comparing to Brit 74, think this is the Elizabeth class
https://www.sailsofglory.org/attachm...4&d=1614770254
https://www.sailsofglory.org/attachm...3&d=1614770242
and a French Temeraire class
https://www.sailsofglory.org/attachm...2&d=1614770224
https://www.sailsofglory.org/attachm...1&d=1614770212
Once I get masts and the Brits I will post more.
For me, nicely done Henry thanks a lot
