Yes, I hide them with the ink of citadel which is dense.
That’s clever.
I tried lightly sanding on a hull I haven’t started yet.

Meanwhile my terrain moves forward with the second item whilst the first glues up
.
Also found a better chart of the harbour.https://sailsofglory.org/attachment....id=54347&stc=1
Nice work, Rob.
Next year, when we are rid of the plague, I feel an urge to visit the convention where you will play that scenario...
It's coming along nicely Rob. You certainly have a talent for terrain building along with your shipbuilding and conversions skills.
Anthony
well done Rob :clap::clap::clap:
Thanks chaps.
I am about ready to undercoat the first two pieces and then they can have the sand texture added when dry tomorrow morning.
Rob.
Those terrain pieces look promising, Rob. :thumbsup:

It is! "Promising" to be a headache marrying them in to the existing terrain, and also finding all the correct accessories. Looks as if I may be scratch building yet another outworks! Just to think it all started with the Battle of the Nile, and has given birth to my U.S. Navy and Moroccan one too, plus three Swedish Frigates.

Sir,
I will minute your request for inclusion in the proceedings of the next meeting of the Navy board. I am sure that even baring the constraints of the current crisis they will be able to discover the funds to facilitate your needs. As for the inquiry regarding the Victory, I am sure that the Clerk of the Works will be able to enlighten you on this matter.
I remain sir, your obt. svt.
Wm. Bligh. Secretary to the Board.
Undercoat now completed and also the harbour mole sketched out ready for cutting out.

Two GHQ 14-gun cutters for my Continental Navy. I am going to use the one on the right to represent John Paul Jones' Providence even though the rigging and the hull are slightly different than a sloop. I used the pictures from this site as a reference : https://tallshipprovidence.org/

More ships for me to contemplate Anthony, and a very neat job you have made of them sir.
Rob.
More HEIC cards for the Squadron.
Nice work!
Myself I have been painting step markers for Gå På, GNW, in 15mm.

A fine body of men Jonas.

Thank you, Rob.
Working on ships again.

...
And on the physical workbench the extension coastline to the city is sanded and left to set overnight.
This morning I painted and dry brushed the rocky headland before trying it in place. The other coastal strip is just waiting for the model houses and a fort to arrive in the first order from Grenadier miniatures.
Looks great, Rob.
Another ship finished.

And that looks phenominal Jonas. I still can't get over those port lids.
Rob.
Funny thing DB, is that I have the same feeling when Julián posts his works of art.
There’s always bigger fish.
A little humility is a healthy thing. :)

L to R HMS San Josef (ex-ARS San Jose), ARS's San Jose (stripes) and Purisima Concepcion (2-tone)--PC is still waiting for white paint for her beakhead and silver for her stern gallery.

Victory with Polyphemus and America--the two Intrepids, one has a black top beak and the other yellow as a temporary ID marker.

And my toolkit... the bottlecaps are cheap disposable palletes for mixing paint; on the left we have assorted paintbrushes (Pixiss with triangular grip sections, and a set each horsehair and rubber tips from Hobby Lobby, along with several small disposable "modeler/hobby market" ones), sanding sticks, tiny drill bits and eyedroppers.
Not pictured, minor touchups on Canadas and Minden; Tremendous waiting for white paint and all other Ganges on hold pending references. Culloden is described at the Nile as "yellow sides with two narrow strakes," so I'm thinking to use Captain and Majestic as "paratypes", possibly try to narrow the strakes like Orion. Maybe go with a yellow more like the Intrepids to represent her being "shiny and new" in contrast to her Canada line-mates being "yesterday's news."
I am now so humble that even my humility is humble DB.
I like your tool kit. I have tried to cut mine down to just what I need for the ongoing project and keep all ancillary items off the workbench, but I fail every time and by half way through a project I find myself upto the eyeballs in clutter.
I like your idea for Captain and await the finished model with anticipation. I may well unashamedly poach your paint scheme for my ship.
Rob.
Consider that my "workbenches" are a windowsill and kitchen and bathroom counters... the latter two of which require me to be able to pack everything up on a moment's notice whenever the Ill-Tempered Mutant Landwhale decides it's time to Godzilla-stomp her way around the studio again.
DB, I think you've gotten the lines on your ships to be good. You switched brush or something? It shows.
Thanks, Jonas--between practice and new brushes with a better grip section that's less painful to hold, and stopping more frequently for breaks before tremors get a chance to hit, I'm not sure which is making the biggest difference.
Those brushes with triangular grip sections are very good. I got a couple from my local art shop before the lockdown, and if he reopens this week I will pop in and buy a few more sizes from him.
Rob.
The are great.

I can’t wait to see the finished Tripoli.
Me either. Algiers would be cool too... too bad Pellew had to come in and finish what we started without us sticking around to see it through; after our navies having to fight each other it wouldn't be until decades later in joint West African anti-slavery patrols that the value of Anglo-American teamwork and the future "Atlantic Bridge" would have a chance to really show itself.
