I don't know of a mixing formula for Brown Stuff. However, I followed the color scheme of an oil painting by John Cleveley, which shows the HMS Granado with this underwater color . -

From the first post it is already clear that in addition to the Continental and States Navies and private privateers up to 1783, ships of the first US Navy are also of interest. The Halifax, however, belonged to the Royal Navy.

Some more, but possibly not all, missing model kits. Alfred 1775 of the Continental Navy Gunboat Philadelphia Frigate Essex 1799 Brigg Syren 1803 and from the War of 1812 on the Lakes the Briggs Eagle and Niagara.

I love it! I know at least one book about this daring action. The Dutch in the Medway by P.G. Rogers

I like the model, I'm looking forward to seeing your rigging come to life. A small scale Prince but well implemented by Airfix, especially when you consider the year of manufacture, 1966, when plastic model making was still in its infancy. And I was just one year old.👶

This yacht as we see it here on the plan is originally a reconstruction by Hoeckel of the Electorate of Brandenburg Staten Yacht, the Large (Große) or Golden (Goldene) Yacht, from 1678/79. So the Yacht has a name, but with modified decoration it can certainly also serve other states with different names.

There don't seem to be any plans included?

See the second Van de Velde Reine drawing in the post above. Or here as a full view. They are also visible on some other Velde drawings of French-built ships from the period, but not present on all drawings, such as the stern view of the Reine, or some other ships. Not all drawings of a ship always show all the details. But I am sure that the round openings for the hand weapons were present in the 1670s on the Reine and "presumably" also on the Soleil Royal.

Hi Eric! From what I have read, this is supposed to be a Soleil Royal in the 1670s based on van de Velde's drawings of the Reine. That is not an easy task. I am sure you will be happy with yourself once the work is finished. One thing that caught my eye about your model. Perhaps it will help if I point out Hubac's Dutch construction of the upper gundeck inner and outer bulwark construction of the Reine and perhaps Soleil Royal in her early years. Hubac´s Bulwark construction looks here very similar to the one found on the Zeven Provincien. Please compare van de Velde's drawings of the Zeven Provincien 1665 with the various from the Reine. And the Reconstrction from Otto Bloms Zeven Provincien 1665.

Marc, this is really great craftsmanship. Hard to believe it's plastic. 5 stars!

The Ares will be great! Many brig sloops had carronades as their main armament. Would this be a credible weapon for your model? If you can't find any suitable carronades, you can still build your own. Perhaps a small series of metal or resin casts would be suitable for this, as is the case for all guns? It is possible that they could also be used for the other planned Greek ships. I make my guns from white metal alloy because that's what I work with. Resin will definitely work too. Attached is a photo of earlier gun casts. The 3 Dutch guns were built from wood. Plastic or brass would be better here. the British 4 pounder shown on the right was built from polystyrene. All were cast in white metal alloy.

Hi Micha! There are plans of Japanese ship/boat types in Admiral Paris Souvenirs de Marine 1882 - 1892. I think that with a little searching you can also find his plancollection in digital form on the Internet. Joerg

Why not build another Spanish three-decker like that, based on better sources and a modern reconstruction? The Nuestra Señora de la Concepción y de las Ánimas! The reconstruction made it into the spanish naval museum, and Dusek (MSW partner) released a kit of it.
