    The penultimate group of models constructed for my Trafalgar Project concludes with this British generic three-decker, one of seven such vessels including the Victory and Royal Sovereign in the British fleet and leaving just three more to be constructed in the final group build.

    These big British ships will provide the punch and counter-punch element for my Royal Navy commanders, combining as they do well motivated and able crews with plenty of firepower and resistance to damage.

    That’s a lot of nice details on the bow. How long did it take you to do one of these?

    Thank you.

    If I have the time, the model takes about a couple of days to construct and paint and a day to rig.

    That said I tend to work in batches of six models at the moment, which with other time commitments means the build and rig process takes about two to three weeks to do the lot.

    I’m not surprised it took that loong. Just the paitning alone looks like a lot of work. The end result is definitely worth it. All the fleets togather would be dauntingly impressive.
