As part of my on going project to fill gaps in my 1:700 Age of Sail collection with specific models for single ship and small squadron scenarios, I have once again turned to the offerings from Turner Miniatures.
The USS Constellation and the large French 40-gun frigate La Virginie are two such models, and I have put together a post showcasing them and the history that has prompted their inclusion into the collection.

As always, gorgeous work. Where did you get the color scheme for the "Constellation?" |

Thank you. As detailed in the post, the principle inspiration for the colour scheme is based on a 1985 model by Thomas Todd, that referenced the 1797 Baltimore Gazette for its construction, but does admit that the colours are some what speculative. JJ |
