Bowsprits and Masts

 




I've had a thumping head all day and it's very hot, so painting has only moved along half as far as I wanted, with almost half of the models having the masts and bowsprits blocked in with a basecoat. I'm off home tomorrow, so that's it for the holiday project, which isn't too bad. I had hoped to have all of the French ships painted up to this stage, which I've almost achieved, but I also wanted to have started assembling the Royal Navy models, something I haven't even scratched the surface of yet. I do have about a week left in which to finish painting the French fleet, before I'm dragged kicking and screaming back to work,  so I'll crack on in the hope that I can wrap them up by the end of the month.

  1. One fleet almost done is a good start.

  2. Nice work Jim, just getting into naval gaming at the moment, although we're going slightly earlier in the Anglo-Dutch Wars.
