Never say never again...

 Yes, I crumbled and did another ship for Black Seas.

This is a French First Rate, giving me a pair of French 1st Rates to match up aganst the British 1st Rate I have already got from Warlord, and the slightly wonkily-assembled HMS Victory from Ali Express.


 As these Warlord kits have metal masts they do need some extra rigging to stop them from bending - so this one has some additional diagonal ropes added compared to the "standard" Warlord fitout in the rulebook, which go from the tops of the masts to the sides of the ship. 

I also went detail-crazy and added a Tricolor to the bow mascot to make it very French. 

There is probably too much "mid blue" here, but again in the interests of making this very French I thought it was justified. 





And now this leaves me with a fair number of ships...
