    WE are all aware of the , shall we say, discrepancies with the Spanish ships, which is one reason I did not indulge with all of these.
    However I did fudge some of the models so as to represent the Spanish fleet for my Trafalgar game.
    All are currently Ares ships except for the Santisima which was made by our very own Clipper, all hail Clipper and the elves.
    I do have the Spanish ships from the Henry Turner kickstarter and will be adding two Spanish 1st rates when I finish painting.
    Till then this is all

    Top row R-L Santa Anna, Real Carlos renamed Rayo, Real Carlos

    Bottom Row R-L Conde de Regla, Principe de Asturias, Santisima Trinidad

    I have a feeling that once Chris gets his 3D Printer working, we will see a Fleet of not only excellent Spanish ships but also very accurately scaled ones Ferrante.

    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.

    Glad you like them, I shall be adding the frigates shortly followed by the Ares released 74s as well as a couple of the newly acquired 3d hulls.
    The only issue so far is the sails available are quite shorter than the ares versions so the ratlines do not fit if I extend the mast and the sails look out of place if I use the current length. I hope shortly yo get some sails made using Jonas’ measurements and also using the 3d ratline maker so watch this space as they say
