This is the next ship in my growing British fleet, GHQ's 100 gun Victory I have modeled as HMS Britannia. More at volsminiatures.blogspot.com
Comparison with Langton 100 gun Queen Charlotte on the left.

Queen Charlotte looks like a two Decker? My poor eye sight aside, they look absolutely gorgeous! |

Big Red,
At sea you would see her as so, Close in for the kill. To late you see that the lower ports painted dark. The one's with the very big guns! Opps! and bye

As always Vol, I take my hat off. |

This was the paint scheme Queen Charlotte wore at the Glorious First of June. |

Vol, you're killing me. I just sit and dream of painting ships again and you're cranking them out like you've got a veritable shipyard going. I really like the look of your stuff, and this one is no exception. I hadn't noticed that about the Queen Charlotte before, how you painted the "camo" scheme of hiding the lower row of gunports. Nice touch! |

Hi Rob,
Actually Queen Charlotte's paint scheme is in Rod Langton's painting and rigging guide. I just copied it. |

Vol tells us "It's her colour at the Glorious First of June".
"Its the colour scheme shown in Rod's book". All this will not wash with me. He is right about both. This does not take away the the end result of the above. I too can copy, but not to this high standard.
Thanks Vol.
Be safe
