1/700 Napoleonic Warships

From Paul Browning

Some pictures for the SAS website from my collection: 

From Wednesday evenings game and the age of sail / Napoleonic era:  A win for the French  - a successful blockage run. 


Ships are 1:700 scale from Warlord Games and their Black Sails collection:

Wreck in the distance was scratch built from spares.  In fact I made 6 wrecks from spares after making 24 ships of varying sizes/ types. 


The water effect was achieved via pressing crumpled tin foil onto damp Tetrion filler. After painting, apply a  layer of PVA glue. Initially you think, oh my god what have I done, this isn't going to work, but after a few minutes everything starts to become transparent. If you wish to create perception of depth, repeat process until desired effect is achieved.
