But sometimes it works out, with dementia rapidly kicking in I searched and searched, never found the thing I was looking for but did come across two Langton Napoleonic kits 1/1200 scale. Haven't done anything like this for years says I, (Whilst doing the rigging I remembered why!) but the end result whilst not anywhere near some of the fantastic models I see on other sites wasn't too bad.
These can be classed as good standard wargame model ships, I know the flags are blowing the wrong way when compared to the sails but aesthetically this looks better and I also know that the union flag on the original British frigate is in the wrong place but to be honest I couldn't be arsed to take it off and replace it! Oh yes and cotton thread doesn't look great after it's been spray varnished but you live and learn.
I may take this further I don't know, but here are the pictures:
I have had a couple of these ships for a while but decided to tart them up, might end up getting about ten per side, we'll see.
Dave.
