The next addition to my Spanish fleet is the Navwar version of the Santa Ana. This model is huge compared to the other brands. The Santa Ana had several sister ships, but due to inconsistencies in construction they were not all the same. The Hermenegildo was a very poor handling ship, yet three of the class became the top ships of the navy: Reina Luisa, Santa Ana, and Principe de Asturias. Since I already have the Langton Santa Ana built, I have named this Navwar Model the Reina Luisa. Nominally 112 guns in 1791, by 1805 she carried 124 (threedecks.org). This model has 124 ports/guns, thus my decision to name her Reina Luisa.

Bravo, Vol! Another round of applause for the Spanish. The additional flag on the foremast is particularly nice looking. Did you purchase or make it yourself? |

Thanks James. David, not my favorite mesh it's too big. It is just screen door mesh. The mesh I like I can't find anymore. If I ever locate something equivalent I amm going to buy 10 yards of it. Jim, I found the Spanish ensign, among other national flags at tmg110.tripod.com/archive.htm
I just re-sized what i needed and printed it. Your Langton Monarca is gorgeous Jim, you should post it here for everyone to see. |

Thanks for the link, Vol! I'll make good use of it. Thanks also for the Monarca compliment. Still waiting on the restoration of the Anchorage photo albums. Will try sometime soon. I lost another image here when that went down also. |
