    Culloden at the Nile is described as "yellow sides with two narrow black strakes. David Manley referred me to this paining by William Anderson:


    For Captain I'm thinking this model might be your best bet as reference: https://www.modelshipmaster.com/prod...MS_CAPTAIN.htm

    Canada I'm thinking varnished wood with blue or green stripes as I saw on one model, Majestic overall yellow with a broad black strake between gunports, Orion overall yellow with thinner black stripes based on this model: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Or...ion_(1787).JPG

    Caught me with insomnia and trying to work up tomorrow's shopping list for the craft store... :) if this crap keeps up for much more than another 2-3 hours I might as well forget sleep and start powering down put-hair-on-your-chest doses of caffeine.
