Here are the next size ships down from the ships in my last post, 2 x 76's and 3 x 60 gunners.
All of these ships are Dutch Frigates, all carrying 38 guns.
From top to bottom there are the following ships....
Dordrecht, Vrede, Gorinchem, Raadhuis van Haarlem, Beschermer Harderwijk and Wapen van Utrecht

Wapen van Utrecht
Just as the last post, all the ships are from Barry Hilton's excellent range Ark Royal Miniatures.
All the bases are from Warbases.
I painted up the ships using Army Painter Speed Paints, they held dig out the amazing detail of the ships, which I think would be lost if you used normal paints.
Nice work, Ray! How are the other Rejects coming along on their shipbuilding projects?
ReplyDeleteRichard, Steve and Lee have painted all there's. Postie hasn't got his out of the packets yet!!!
DeleteAnd we are still waiting for Surjit's contribution.... he's supposed to be running the first game! Naughty boy 🤣
DeleteYes, naughty Surj!!!
DeleteNice work lots of ships on the blogosphere at the moment , must be the weather 👍
ReplyDeleteThere does seem to be??? It must well be in the weather.....or it it the water?
DeleteGood looking ships Ray, they look grand.
ReplyDeleteThanks Donnie!
DeleteLovely little ships Ray and the speed paints certainly seem to have been a good choice 👍
ReplyDeleteThey work well on small figures, but I've not tried them yet on anything bigger?
DeleteBeautiful ships sir!
ReplyDeleteThank you Michal.
DeleteSuperb work on those Ray! Out of interest, how big are the base sizes to try and get an idea of the size of these models?
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve, all of the ships in this post are on 60 x 30mm bases. These are the base sizes recommended by Barry.
DeleteSmall ships 40 X 20mm
Frigates to 50's 60 x 30mm
3rd- 2nd rates 80 x 30mm
Monsters 100 x 30mm
Really impressive paint work!
ReplyDeleteCheers Alex, I appreciate it!
DeleteLovely work Ray. I'll have to experiment with speed paints given some of the great results like this.
ReplyDeleteThey do seem to work well, it seems most people don't get on with them?
DeleteGlorious ships. Speed paint is good for a lot of things.
ReplyDeleteSo it seems Joe.
DeleteExcellent looking ships Ray
ReplyDeleteThanks Neil.
DeleteA very nice fleet of ships.
