L'Orient - French flagship at the Nile

Fresh from the dockyard, comes the first ship in the final run to the Aboukir Bay fleets being complete.

The French Flagship - L'Orient.

It blew up at the Nile in spectacular fashion. Hopefully that won't happen to the model as a few hours have gone into it!

My last few ships have been Skytrex, which are fine ships, but the Langtons are a real pleasure. Beautiful models.

Some close detail of the deck area:

...and of the stern....

And the bow.

I'm not an expert painter or modeller at all, but overall pretty pleased with it. Should make a good focal point for the French fleet!

Next up 2 French 74s and a couple of Frigates!
