My Fleets, updated 2019

[Capn Duff]

It has been a couple of years since Bligh started a thread to show off members fleets, so I thought it was time to maybe update here how our fleets have amassed since that time.
So here are my fleets as they stand as of today.

Now before you start thinking I am completely mad, which I must say that thanks to the pills from Bligh , I am not completely.
Please bare in mind I have been collecting since Sails was a kickstarter and also my father was RN so some ships are in his honour, plus a lot was needed for my Trafalgar project.
Also , although a bit of hubris will be evident, the intention is to maybe stimulate a bit more interest as well as show what can be done with a small lick of paint and a bit of work.
Most of my ships are now rigged, not fully as I like to see the ship not a mass of ropes and the rat lines are all Langton types. I do not particularly like the ones Keith has, let me stress there is nothing wrong with them just a personal preference for Langton ones.
The pics show massed fleet as per review If anyone wants information as to what I have done to a particular ship or would like a close up view of a ship let me know and Ill add the references used or my interpretation as to why a certain model can be used.


So here we go, Fleets will sail past in review order, saaaaaailll past!
