Awesome! Like viewing a slice of history. The ships look perfect in the scene without the bases.

Thank you Vol, both for the comments and the rep.
At least I'm getting some things done during the lockdown.
Rob.
The next one is in the paint shop.

Now painted up. All I have to do tomorrow are the sails.
Sails completed today. Just a matter of some touching up on the paintwork and a glue job to complete the penultimate paint job. Just the one in harbour with furled lateens to do after that.
Rob.
Nice, it's going to be a poleacre!
Yes it is Vol.
Another thorn in the side of the Royal Navy et al.
Hi Rob, are those little ships just for the scenery or gunnery practice for her majesty's ships? :wink:
Love it Robb! The red looks amazing. Very nice work.
I'm starting the larger French ship from the starter set, Genereux. It is much easier than the smaller frigate. I'll post some before and after pictures once completed.
Hi Sven.
It is what we call the Snotling factor. We found out in Warhammer that if you threw hundreds of cheap points at the hugely expensive body of six Chaos nights that the other side had decided on, they could not kill you all before you were all over them. It was similar with the Algerine Pirates. if they threw a lot of small Xebecs and galleys at ships as large as Frigates and even some liners they could overwhelm them just by sacrificing some ships to soake up the broadsides of larger ships. I am soon to find out just how many of those tiny ships you need to defeat the Constitution and her escort of Sloops.
Rob.
The last of the present batch of Xebecs is now underway and coincidentally the final piece of work for the July workbench.

I've created one of those Instant Ham accounts for sharing pictures of miniatures and miniature related fun.

If you see - Attachment 50180 that means this has multiple pictures!
Which means, when you open that picture, you can view the others pictures in that post with this looking arrow on the left or right side of the picture. Attachment 50181
Looking forward to seeing the final product Robb!
Wow Gary! Those miniatures look amazing!
Finished the Genereux. Some before and after here. Two ships left in the starter set to finish.

Nice job, Bryan. It's funny, but to my eye, the ships look bigger with the additional paint. They certainly look more dramatic!
Just got back to the Anchorage and also applaud the paint job on your ships Bryan.
They do look a cut above the usual.
Rob.
Well shipmates this puts all our efforts in the shade.

Glad to hear you are starting to cope again Vol. It is incredible what you can adapt to if the need arises. Mind you I still have problems with doing up buttons and shoe laces. Most everything else I can manage now.
Rob.
Thanks, I still have six of the eleven stitches and we are on day 16. It is not healing as well as I had hoped. I have to keep it bandaged and splinted still. But at least the pain is tolerable now without pharma. It was the pain that stopped me from attempting any hobby activity before. A shame because the heat wave we are having has provided an excuse to spend a lot of time indoors. This is what I have been trying to work onAttachment 50210
Stitches are such a pain to take care of. I hope thing start going better for you.
On a positive note, those ships are looking great! Looking forward to the finished product!
They do indeed look very fine already Vol. They are going to be superb on the games table when completed.
Rob.
Well my last hull is completed for the end of this month. Just a matter of the sails today and I will be ready for a new project for August.
Rob.

Aargh! Forced into it because of Bligh's lovely sails. When I built this, I thought doing stripes would be a pain in the bottom, but seeing how superior Rob's sails look I have to go back and paint mine in place!w
Here are the pics you asked for Dobbs

This one I made the Constellation label attached below the stern gallery
Attachment 50228
Because the one below that Warlord provides is for the 1853 sloop of war, not the original frigate!
Attachment 50229
Sorry for the sideways photos, I don't know how to fix them.
Attachment 50231
Stripes are a pain! But they do look good. Some retouching needed and then on to the hull.
Really sorry Dobbs.
I am not trying to give you extra work.
Speedwell Lass says that the stripes look really fine on your model.
Rob.
My final Xebec moored alongside the mole.
A final few touches for my Xebecs. I now have boxes, and just need the ship mats doing and the Ship cards.
Ship mats now done.
