    Default Rigged and Ratlined Sqns

    Here are my Sqns rigged and Ratlined as of today.
    The Ratlines are all Langtons except one frigate and the rigging is all the paintbrush method.

    First the easy one my Spanish 74 Argonauta



    There is a slight gap on the mast where the ratlines dont reach but a bit of paint soon covers this up and you dont notice.

    The Full Sqn completed,

    The RN



    The French




    Brit Three deckers



    French Three Deckers



    RN 74s



    French 74



    RN Frigates



    French Frigates



    Close up on Commerse de Marseille

    Magnificent Chris.
    I guess that means I have no excuse for not doing mine then!

    Goodness, two fine fleets of well presented models.

    After seeing such excellent models on a number of posts I have been tempted to try rigging and rat lines. However, I'm to nervous I will make a hash of it.

    There are a few 74s in the line up of both fleets as well. Here I was thinking I had enough models...

    I don't recall seeing that thread, thanks for the link.

    I have yet to get some of my ships out of their boxes and on to the table for a game.

    Magnificent results. Clearly a lot of time and effort went into creating these fleets.
