grsjax Posted January 24, 2014 #1 Posted January 24, 2014 Just ordered the English Pinnace kit from Modelexpo (great deal at $34.99, think the sale is good for a few more days, code is Blues14). The color scheme in the pictures is nice but about the only way you can make a kit like this a bit different from all the others like it is the paint. My question is what colors would be appropriate for an 18th century pinnace? The reccomended colors/decorations look like they would be for a very senior officer with a lot of money to spend on making his pinnace a show piece. What about all the lesser officers with fewer personal resorces? I would like to have a boat representative of the work a day craft likely to be carried by the average man of war.

druxey Posted January 24, 2014 #2 Posted January 24, 2014 I suspect that either a plain blue or black sheer strake would be appropriate. Quote Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv
