I took a break from my American fleet to build another French ship of the line. This is the GHQ version of a Téméraire class 74 gun ship Le Fouguex.

Awesome work Vol, beautifully done! Is the color scheme of your own devising or drawn from a picture? Very interesting look. |

James,
A combination between a painting and one of Rod's examples in his rigging book, and my youngest daughter's interpretation of the colors. Brown ochre, red, and field blue. |

I love her. Thanks for showing me how poor my ships are. You make me try harder, which is good. You give me a high-bar too get over. I can smell the tar and paint with a little sea-salt.
Be safe

Couldn't comment on this when it first came up… Very pretty Frenchie you got there! |

Love the asymmetrical studding sail configuration, but wonder how they fare "in close quarters" on the tabletop. B |

Unfortunately, Vol's account has been locked so he can't respond to any comments.

I would be happy to pass on anything to Vol that comes up here. I would think that in life they would shorten sail before going into action. I have a number of models with different sail-settings, but do not change the model if we change sail-setting in the game. I would love the idea of having a number of "Frigates" with different sail-settings and change the model as one changes the sails. This would work for a ship duel game. Expensive but very nice.
By safe
