My French Fleet

Here will be posted my French Fleet for SOG

I will split into categories, 1st Rate, 3rd Rate and Frigates and Sloops.
These pics will then be posted on the showcase the showcase thread.
You can post your comments, good or bad here.
The intention is to promote a bit of enthusiasm and discussion, plus a chance to show the fleets in a bit more detail.

All six of my current Oceans

Rigging is all the bristle method, ie nylon bristles from a brush, the rigging is not full but a representation using Langtons book on assembly and rigging his 1/1200 ships, as I still wanted to see the masts and sails and not a mass of rigging. This is just my personal choice.
Ratlines are all Langtons brass etched.
