HMS Aeneus ( yup I know what your thinking)

July 19, 2023

I may have boo booed with name. Aeneus, was a Trojon Hero from the Siege of Troy. I picked it based on my scratch built figurehead for the 2nd Sloop in the starter box to differentiate from the Mermaid on the Pirate Sloop.

I was looking for something not to long ad a name, and either easy to paint or cut out the letters from decals I had and hadn’t thought of how it could be bastardised until I rembered most of navy crews couldn’t pronounce many of the Greek names that was popular on RN, and thought bugger that are to call her the Anus! ( or for polite Americans Butthole) so have a feeling HMS Butthole will stick particularly with the Pirates.

The a aforementioned Figurehad was made from parts from the Frostgrave Knights set, which contains a late medieval helm which was often used on paintings of classical Greek Heroes in the Renaissance period.

Painted

The rest of the ship was painted using Contrasts as had the 1st, main changes were red upper works and Basilium grey for lower Hull

One of the other changes was I remembered I might have some Filligary from left over decals from Imperial Knights and after some phaffing put them on the upper works
