120 Gun French Napoleonic Ship 1/1200

With more games of Fighting Sail expected soon I decided it was time to get the last ship of my French fleet completed.

She's a 120 gun 1st Rate ship from Langton's. I do love putting these together, they're quite a bit of effort, but the effort put in really is rewarded well with the final product.


This was the first ship I built according to the guidelines in the assembly guide that Langton's sell on their website. Previously I'd been following a article from a very, very, very old wargames magazine.

I also spent some extra time researching it online. I'm really pleased with how this one has come out.




My entire fleet...


Next up is some Spanish...

    Thanks Phil! Unfortunately the 2 gun boats can't be used in Fighting Sail... But they were too cute not to paint up. :)

    About to start my first of about 6 Langtons (RN) and I must admit I am a bit hesitant to get started. Any tips?

      Just take your time. I use PVA rather than super glue. Be careful with your knots. Let the glue dry before completely snipping off loose ends.

      Make sure your knife is very sharp. I also use small sewing scissors.
