Royal Navy Ships of the Line





I was kindly asked by a friend of mine, who has been inspired by some recent games of Blood, Bilge and Iron Balls at the club, if I could paint and rig some ships for him. 

Of course I said yes and we looked at one of the Langton's starter sets. It comprises of the 100 gun Royal Sovereign, the 80 gun Caesar, a 74 gun and a 64 gun.

These were the first ships I have done for about 8 years(!) so I was a little nervous about getting back in to the swing of the rigging! I was actually really pleased with how they came out, I have better lighting these days and also magnifying specs which really helped.

Here are some close up shots of them:

100 gun HMS Royal Sovereign - this includes a little jolly boat from NavWar of which I had a few going spare.
