I finished the last model assembly and basing for the 1/2400th scale Napoleonic French fleet today, with two 40 gun frigates (ASN 10), one 32 gun frigate (ASN 11), a 16 gun brig (ASN 13) and a very small but rather splendid 12 gun cutter (ASN 14), which I’ll be using as a chase-maree. The brig model will replace the one I converted from a bomb ketch, at least for the moment, until I work out a better alternative. 

The 40 gun frigates are a bit different, as I decided to use a full sail set for one with topgallants, rather than the all plain sail with furled courses of the standard model as supplied. The fleet is now complete but I need to add some textured filler to the bases to blend them in before I can undercoat and start painting them, although I really should finish painting the last of the 1/2400th scale mid-Victorian Royal Navy ironclads first.
