I am highly confident ours will do the same.

Very knowledgeable people have been fooled to let me join them to try to help others get reasonable stats for the ships we lack from Ares.
Basically the stats for a Tonnant-class ship is leaning towards about the same as the strongest firepower Téméraire from Ares (Fougueux and HMS Impetueux) and drop 1 veer.

And the left overs...

an idea: the hole you can cover with a fall sail.And the left overs...

you've done a good job, congratulations!
That's the plan. The idea wasn't mine. I have Iron Outlaw to thank for that. But it's a very good idea.
Shape, drape and glue a tissue over the gap and paint it to resemble a sail then add some bits of a mast. Voila, a disabled 74!
Shaving less than a quarter inch off the hull while ignoring the overly thick masts and sails and bowsprit begs the question: Are you only looking at the hull? Why not shave the yardarms that end with what seems like giant (to scale) bannister knobs? There are so many things wrong with the SGN ships, you may as well just repaint them and say good enough is well done.
I like it!
Those are good looking models, Jonas!
I like 'em too Jonas!
Anyway, if the masts and yards were to scale they would be sooooo fragile and these ships are built for war!!!
Kenneth, you are right in that there are many faults with the models (all first/third rates having the same masts?) but what I'm trying to do isn't a perfect model of the original, but something that stands out from the standard SGN102 to make you realize that this is a different ship. I'd prefer to buy it finished from Ares, but it'll be years before they make Tonnant-class ships and they appear in too many battles to wait for them. I had to make it myself.
Thank you for your kind words. It was surprisingly easy to do, but very hard to get the cut looking good. I had to file it down a bit to get the ship straight and it was near impossible to hide the joint, even with milliput.
And you succeeded, admirably.
I imagine the process is enjoyable for you.

Yes, I know. Those broken off foremasts are a problem, but it's not missing. I have it, but its not in the picture...
Thank you, and yes it is.
Stick them together and make a short 74And the left overs...
Nah. It could be useful to have a wreck and I get a bese I can use for another ship. I''m thinking of making another try at a metal ship. I've failed making a GHQ frigate before. I'm thinking that merchants might not be noticeably out of scale.
My first try ever at a sea base.
I don't know if you have noticed, but part of the ship is missing...???!!!

A little more done on the wreckage...
