The twelve ships of the Royal Navy sans their main decks and any kind of sailing rig. For reference the hexes you see are 4” between the flat sides. The top two ships are a pair from the Minotaur class and will both feature five masts!
All twelve of the Royal Navy lower hulls have been completed - and quite splendid they look! The next step will be to tackle the main decks - hatches and similar odds and ends - and then to finish off will be the masts and spars. Of the twelve ships under construction eight of them are quite straightforward in that they have a main deck that will need a few hatches and a funnel or two. Four of them however, will need rather more care and attention. These are H.M.S. Monarch, H.M.S. Devastation and the two Belleisle class ironclad rams. For all that though, I should be able to get their main decks completed en masse so that is the next task.
A side view of the hull of (either) H.M.S. Belleisle or H.M.S. Orion.
A rather lovely model of H.M.S. Devastation. My version will be considerably simpler looking!
Really pleased with how these are shaping up and I am looking forward to getting the Turks completed next, along with a few Germans.
There is a cunning plan afoot….
