Hey TMP! It's been awhile since I did some ships, but recently finished two; A French 80 and a British 74. thought I would share some pics: French 80:
and the British 74:
These are Langton models, rigged with cotton thread stiffened with glue.
There's a few more pics and exciting commentary on the blog:
link I really enjoy making the ships. Hopefully these will see some battle soon. -Stew |

Nicely done. I love the stern on the French ship. - Ix |

I think I've spotted a slight error you've made with the French ship. It's still on top of the water….. |

There's no way the prize crew could haul down those French flags and replace them with British ones if it were beneath the water. |

Thanks Jon!
I guess how well they fight will be based on who's playing them.
If it's me, bravely but foolishly. 😀 |
