Recently I received a loose lot of stuff from another gamer. In it were two 1/1200 scale Napoleonic ships. One of them was easy it is a GHQ and the model number and brand is molded underneath. However, the second one is not so easy. It is definately not GHQ, or Navwar, I have both and its not like either. It is a 74 molded to lean to starboard with the starboard waterline ports closed. All other ports are to quarters. it has a separate aft piece that is missing. The underside is a smooth long concave oval, but no markings. If you could help me out that would be great I want to get the missing parts for it.
TIA

Sounds like a Langton miniature. |

Sounds like a crippled Langton ship of the line. The listing to one side with some ports open is a dead giveaway.

Thanks guys I suspected Langton but I have never bought any so I wasn't sure how they were made. |

I agree, sounds like a Langton. Shoot an e-mail with a photo to Rod. He is always great at answering questions. Address is on his web site. Even if it isn't one of his, Langton sail kits work on other manufacturers' hulls. rodlangton.com |
