Launch!

Done! Didn't take a progress pic of black undercoat, but I trust you can picture it. Also, decided to skip rigging. Couldn't get my fat fingers in there. The next one, I'll maybe do the rigging before attaching the masts. Anyway!




HMS Essence, 56
Psyche-class
4th-rate Frigate
280 men
Lower gundeck: 28x 24pdr
Upper gundeck: 28x 32pdr carronades
Broadside weight of 784lbs

HMS Expeditious, 32
Psyche-class
5th-rate Frigate
250 men
Upper gundeck: 28x 24pdr
Forecastle:           2x long  9pdr
Broadside weight: 336lbs


Bases made from some house siding.

Well, the fit and finish may not be the best in HM's Navy, but I'm darn pleased with these. I had fun, and they taught me a lot that will go into future builds.
