I’ve now finished assembling and basing the four Tumbling Dice French 80 gun Third Rates, which will sail alongside my 74’s as the core of the squadron. They’re nice models and very similar to the 74’s in size and shape, although there are some subtle differences. I will use different schemes when I paint them to make this a bit more obvious. I now have only the frigates and perhaps a corvette or two to glue together but there’s only a weekend left to do it in, so I may have to scale back on the numbers.
