  1. I was thinking of this just the other day. Something like:

    For Spain, real paint schemes:

     

    » Different types of design paintings of Spanish ships .

    the type of pattern to paint the ships was already regulated in the Royal Navy since 1776 and in subsequent ordinances that left to the discretion of each commander or engineer stockpile paint a ship outside the established norms. But these rules were not always met and often painted ships was quite different to what should be a desired uniformity , in many cases following the prevailing fashion in the navies of other countries. It is also true that these cases had occurred more often before the official or in the early stages of the same regulations .

    Thus we have the picture ( F) of a ship of the line of the early eighteenth century. Batteries are not highlighted with any background color and the black paint is limited to a thick black stripe on the waterline . At that time is not yet forraba copper the hull , which is painted, usually white , the same .

    Illustrations ( C , D and E) represent different paint patterns , adopting the black helmet on all of them and only changing the design of the yellow line of the batteries, which could range from a fine line between the bridges , only one battery or both totally apart.

  2. +1. I really like it.

    We need corvets and light frigate. We also need exploration / trader ships. And we need nice looking vessels. All in one. :)

    For expedition and cargo shipment purposes, the 14x6lbs and 2x4lbs version could defend herself against small ship (up to brig ?). She may also fill in the gap between the 12-gun pickle and the 18-gun brig.

    The stronger armament (26 guns) would also be interesting (as an option) by making her a real warship corset, a kind of lighter Cerberus, for brig and mercury hunting, coast patrolling, trader attacks...

    I definitely vote for her.

    I will try to find information qbout ber armament.
