Hi guys,
These days I`ve been painting more little XVII c. ships. I have added 2 more galleys to my Spanish Mediterranean fleet, now I have 3 painted, and several more oared ships waiting in the painting queue, including a 3D printed galley as a test.
In just a week, I received a parcel from the UK with all the goodies from Ark Royal miniatures' ships, my order was: 5 medium and small galleons, 4 fustas (small galleys) and 2 lanternas/galeras capitanas or big galleys. Barry Hilton also gifted me with a bergantin (very small galley) and a fireship. All very well detailed with no flash and clean sculpts 👍
all this plus their ratlines and masts with sails.
Coming back to my recently finished galleys, I tried to introduce subtle variations in colors, trying to keep as historically accurate as possible. Again I combined hand painted flags with paper flags from Minairons miniatures, I am pleased with the end result, given its small size. More soon!
Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat rules are you going to use?

DeleteBeautiful work once again Jose!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks Sir!
DeleteThose are tiny! You have done an amazing job I thought the one ship had an awful amount of flash until I realised it was the fire ship lol.
ReplyDeleteThank you Codsticker :D Yes, quite small... But I prefer this scale for ships, although there is a smaller scale for sailing ships, 1/2400, but not enough detailed for me. Yes the tiny ship has fire! not flash haha.
DeleteCheers
Really lovely Jose….
ReplyDeleteThey are very detailed little toys for their size.
All the best. Aly
