Hello everyone,
I'm finishing slowly (as it allows me the sweltering heat) some ships.
The first ship I want to show is a French frigate. Hébé class. My client wanted a ship with all sails folded. (It's my first boat I do it this way) I hope you like it Best regards,

Would they have the hammocks in the racks if they weren't cleared for action? (I'm assuming they're not cleared for action). |

Julian, that's just beautiful! |

Beautiful ship !! Some ship captains often had the men bring up their hammocks to the deck to air them out After a long voyage the hammocks would be filthy and full of … let's say little creatures besides the sailor |

BillyFish: Langton miniatures boat comes with hammocks. I can not remove the hammocks, it is an integral part of the hull.
We are talking about boats 1/1200 scale. This boat has a size of 5 cm. |

First I found 1/700 but now I have found 1/800 both work very well in Sail of glory and langton ships |

Adding crew to 1/1200 sailing ships really raises the bar! Great work! |

1/800 equals approximately 3/32 of an inch for a 6 foot man. That could work. These Eduard figures come from the Czech Republic, but are sold and shipped from the Lotsofmodels ebay store in Missouri, USA. I am buying sets 17505, 17507, and 17508. Oh and Julian told me he made the stepped oars in the one boat from left over ratline sprue. Pretty cool! |
