builds a cutter and a corsair, both in 1/1200 scale.
Below are a couple of shots comparing the new Langton etched-brass ratlines with the traditional netting (also sold by Langton). The First Rate is on the left, Royal Katherine on the right.
Below are a couple of beauty shots, showing the First Rate in company with a 2nd, 4th, and 5th rate, and an armed merchantman. [You may need to click on the images to see them full-size.]
Once again, thanks to Rod and Carol Langton for sending the model for this project!
