What’s on your workbench for May?

Should I just figure on British Babypuke Yellow with Black for post-capture HMS San Josef, or go white or buff for the stripes? The only reference I've found under RN ensign is white as a gunnery training sip, but that's a good 20+ years after "end of game" and my preference would be more around the time Nelson broke flag aboard her while she was pinch-hitting for the burned Queen Charlotte.

The painting I posted earlier of her had her with yellow over the two lower gun decks and black above. The painting was of the Nelson bridge.

I have painted her as I have seen her illustrated in Spanish service in pictures with four yellow stripes.

True, which gives us her last day in Spanish service and her last years in the RN. I'm hoping to find something in-between so HMS San Josef model will be visibly different from ARS San Jose or ARS Purisima Concepcion even before the ensigns go on. :)

Nasty part on Ganges, looks like some of the stern painting has to wait until completion and derafting.
