A veritable work of art Vol, and fighting under her French colours.
Rob.
The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.
Haha, you caught me Rob! I was so anxious to finish the ship that I mounted the French colors instead of the intended British ensign, without even a thought.Originally Posted by Bligh
The ship looks incredible, Vol. I wish Rory could see how well it looks! He'd amazed.
"It's not the towering sails, but the unseen wind that moves a ship."
–English Proverb
Thanks Jim.The ship looks incredible, Vol. I wish Rory could see how well it looks! He'd amazed.

Thank you Roméo, but I intended to flag the ship as British to fight my USS Constitution.
Oh, fair enough ! It still remains beautiful !

Blue suits her Vol.

Just amazing work, congratulations and thanks for sharing.
How did you create the blocks on the running lines?
Thanks
Just a blob of PVA painted brown after drying gives the visual efect at these small scales. Though on the Pyro model I used beads.
That reminds me that I still need to do the blocks at a slightly larger scale for the Carronade which I finished last year.

Now on the bench is Henry Turner's Bonhomme Richard. Painted her tonight.
Note there are no channel at all on this sculpt. I will have to add them in order to attach the ratlines.
