Title: All at Sea - Spanish Third Rate of Renown, San Justo
Post by: carojon on 14 November 2020, 08:29:39 AM

The penultimate ship to feature in this series of posts looking at the Warlord Games Third Rates of Renown features an interesting choice, namely the Spanish 74-gun San Justo.

San Justo served from 1779, the year of her launch, seeing action at The First Battle of Cape St Vincent, Cape Spartel and Trafalgar and seeing out the Napoleonic War under Spanish colours until her breaking up in 1824.

Thank you.

Well I can't say you are the first person to comment to me that they are tempted by the bigger models, and you certainly wouldn't be the first to have given into the impulse to start building a collection despite a firm commitment to stay away.

Stay firm and don't give in, it's character building!
