    Nice Dry Dock Jonas.
    Is that one out of the Langton stables?
    I keep looking at their site but without any pictures to go on keep shying away.

    Yes. It's their "City Harbour Set" and their "Slipway and Dry Dock Set".

    There's also the mast house and cordorie.

    Rob,
    I believe I sent a set of drawings of all Langton's harbour pieces from his old paper catalogue to you or someone on this site. It is on a thread somewhere. I cannot remember which one.
    If you cannot find it? and I can find the print-out myself? I can re-post the drawings for you all. I think most of you have seen my harbour.
    Be safe

    Jonas,
    I found the harbour set a little small. By adding one harbour wall to the left hand side arm can made a more useable and bigger harbour at a very small cost. To make a bigger dock-side you can also get dock-side plates. Having seen your last harbour, this one will as good if not better. Your last one was very good. Happy modelling
    Be safe

    It will be a slow project and I planned to make another order of houses when I know how to plan out the harbour and town.

    I'm a little surprised that the metal ships didn't get commented. You have thought I should put my efforts at those before. I thought I should give it a try.

    You did Rory, thank you, but being an old giffer with very bad eyesight, I now need colour 3D before I can see what I'm looking at.
    I can't even make out the old ships plans anymore, which is why I like to see the remodels you all post here.

    I bought the harbour set from Rod Langton.

    http://www.rodlangton.com/ (under Napoleonics - 1:1200 Buildings)

    The homepage is a little old fashioned. Not many pictures.

    Nice!

    I need a few more of those. They are a sweet-spot of the game and I'd like to be able to do Battle of Lissa.

    Beautiful terrain, too.

    From the blurry pictures they fed us, I got the impression the Spanish first-rate will have a similar look--can't wait!

    The rocky one is a Games Workshop hill, the other with the little lighthouse is a custom built hill of Lawrence's, I am not sure if either are still available?

    I may have a look in Newcastle's GW shop myself for more - I think the dark grey stone look looks just like the Farne Islands!!!!

    Thorn has been ordered to support my Constitution, which is a nice model and different. I've also finally ordered a couple of Spanish.

    I used Langton ratlines, although one Frigate is using the AA store ones.

    I am very admiring of your ability to manipulate non standard fittings into something which looks so good.

    For myself, that extra effort is what has deterred me from starting. I have one set of Keith's ratlines thus far and have even balked at putting them on, so no chance for me fiddling with non standard ones. Funny really, when I will take hours to just get a small part on ships just so, but it is just one of those odd hang ups I'm afraid to say.

    These arrived last week, I already have a reasonable French and British fleet, so it's time to move onto some Spanish and American ships to round things out.

    There's nothing reasonable about my British and French fleets so I continue to enlarge them...

    I got a British 74, three 40 gun frigates and three corvettes/sloops of war.

    Additional models arrived for me as well.

    Spanish Sirena & Argonauta, French Orient, HMS Bellona & Royal George as well as Thorn to bolster the US ships at sea.

    Now to get them on the table...

    Thanks Rob. I mainly purchased the Constitution following a brief holiday in the US. Unfortunately I didn't get to Boston, but I managed a couple of east coast cities in between visiting Civil War battlefields some key to the AWI and 1812. It seemed only right to purchase the Constitution. Despite that my Constitution hasn't been on the table yet...

    Thorn seems to have had an interesting career as well.

    One of my Constitutions, has made its debut in the Solo AARs converted to the HEIC Frigate Nottingham.
    The other like yours is still in dockland. One of my Thorns is now a Bomb Ketch, and the other is about to become a Schooner.

    A cheap used starter box bought. I think my idea of keeping below 100 ships will be lost with the fourth wave. It's 79 now. I take comfort in that there's those with more ships than me.

    Don't worry. I started out slow.

    Chris, it's all included in my fleets too. British, French, a single Spanish, two Americans, two merchants and, I'm afraid to say, a pirate.

    What I am missing is four British Frigates, and two French, plus the Frigates from the Kick Starter, and the two flip sides of the Kickstart 74s. So that must be 12 short of a full house.

    I have a similar problem, I was allocated a large draw for my ships and once that fills up questions will have to be answered.

    Here it is off Spithead being reviewed by King George III.

    No more ships now until the new releases or my boxes won't take them.

    French Fleet will follow, but no additions have been made to either the Spanish or Americans, also awaiting new releases.
