More pics of more ships WIP. Washed and dry brushed the sails, painted the Yards and Masts. One of these is a repaint of the Melanger to the HMS Surprise WIP.

Very nice ageing of the sails Daniel.
Dry brush work is not my strongest suite I'm afraid so I always applaud anyone who is good at it .

Thankee Rob! The process is not really that difficult truthfully. The trick for these is a flat broad tip brush and use either a light Ivory or antique white as a drybrush over the wash. Then if I want the sails to pop I'll do a very light drybrush with plain white just on the protruding part of the surfaces of the sails, especially on the top gallants.
I dip the brush in the paint just at the tip and then I use the back part of my thumb just below the nail to luff off the excess paint then quickly lightly dab/brush the paint on. With practice it gets easier.
