I've now completed all of the French ironclad fleet that I prepared ages ago but never got round to doing. I could, of course, add some more including the Normandie and Invincible, some more Provence and Alma class ships and another Cerbere class ironclad ram, but I think I've done enough for the moment! I may still add some unarmoured warships - frigates, sloops and avisos, that sort of thing - but I'm happy with what I've got now for 'What If ?' scenarios set in the period c1865-1875. Now, it's on to the Royal Navy, although I still would like to add some paper ensigns to the French when I get a spare gap in the painting schedule.
Nice work Jim.
ReplyDeleteImpressive! I'm looking forward to seeing them in action.
ReplyDeleteNice collection. 😀
ReplyDeleteThey look great! Very inspirational.
ReplyDeleteThanks chaps,
ReplyDeleteI'm on to the RN now...loads of sails to paint!
They look really good Jim. How about some merchies? Convoy protection would make a good scenario
ReplyDeleteGood idea. I've got some merchants ready to paint for the 1864 project, so could swap them over to the English Channel too. I've also thought about blockade runners but need to find a suitable model.
ReplyDeleteLooks like an excellent fleet Jim. You've got me thinking...
ReplyDeleteGo on...they're very nice models and not too expensive either.
