They are done! My final three ships for the Battle of Aboukir Bay - the 74 gun Heureux, the 40 gun Justice and the 36 gun Serieuse. This means I am just waiting for a friend to paint up 2 British 74s which I will then rig, then the fleets are complete with the aid of some club friends.
Here are the two frigates - the 40 gun on the right is 'at quarters'.
And the 74 gun Heureux. All 3 ships, like L'Orient and Peuple Souvrain which were the previous two I completed, had simple dark yellow sides so no strakes to paint.
Finally, a bit of a treat, I gave the Langton Toulon fort I got at Salute last year a quick paint:
I think I'll use some weathering powders to tone down the washes a bit, but generally pleased with it!
Looking forward to the battle report.
ReplyDeleteI would follow this site if there was a gadget for it.
ReplyDeleteThat's great! Didn't think anyone would want to, have added something now... :-)
ReplyDeleteIt says there is an error in your follow gadget. There is a gadget for following on blogger. Better than the email gadget.
ReplyDeleteHopefully one of them works now!
