The ships
This is a small message just to say…
I wanted napoleonic huge ships of the line. I bought these:
apparently I have no understanding of scale… because these are MASSIVE.
I then had to buy these, i liked these cause they were smaller, but also i thought would be a nice aesthetically nice ship/galley:
upside i learnt what a xebec is!
My painting of these was fairly simple, three colours a dark reddy brown, a lighter brown, a bone colour and then a yellow and metal for highlights – wash the crap out of them, wind some string around them and call them done
I tried using the sails they had with them but tbh they were too fiddly and i thought it wouldn’t add too much to the finished artical. There will be pictures of these later on
