Here we have the first of the named 3rd rates from the French Fleet Box.
The Aigle was a French 74 that fought at Trafalgar and was captured by the British. Her crew managed to retake her but she was lost in the storm.
She has a great big Eagle for a figurehead so I decided to do her in Black and White like an American Ship (French ships did occasionally have a similar paint schemes).

Ship Ahoy! Now heres a prize ship and there be no doubt! The Cap'n knows the hazards of rigging and you've done a mighty fine job with her. I like how you can switch between fleets too.
Smooth sailing to ye Captain!

Another nice ship, Adam. And great idea to paint it for adaptable use in this way. I might nick that one!
ReplyDeleteShe looks great Adam, you should be proud of the result.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking 3rd rate and smart work that she can fly 2 flags!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Very nice indeed and two ships for the price of painting one!
ReplyDeleteGreat work Adam.
ReplyDeleteA very nice 74, with lots of options!
ReplyDeleteI really love how you are able to give all these little vessels an unique look and character! Kudos 👍
ReplyDeleteGreat looking ship Adam.
ReplyDeleteNice work. I'm terrified of rigging so I haven't started any of my Warlord ships.
ReplyDeleteRigging is fiddly but not too bad. Go front to back and low to high. Also a little rigging goes a long way. Warlord gives you a complicated full rig setup... You don't need all of that just enough to look good
DeleteNice looking tall ship. The exchangeable flags are a great idea.
ReplyDeleteVery nice work!
ReplyDeleteTop job, rigging is a real pain so congratulations on getting that done ✔
