Title: All at Sea - New Spanish Reinforcements for Cape St Vincent
Post by: carojon on May 08, 2021, 09:34:41 AM
Work has progressed to add a further twelve models to the Spanish collection created for Trafalgar to allow the mighty Spanish fleet that sailed off Cape St Vincent on St Valentine's Day in 1797.

This first group of four, a first rate and three 74-gun third rates include a more Revolutionary War look to my Spanish for that and some of the other earlier engagements.

Lovely work.

I've been to Cabo Sao Vicente, 200-foot sheer cliffs down to the ocean, quite a scenic place.

Thank you.

What a glorious memory as I went to Cabo Sao Vicente way-way back in 1985, before we were married, as my wife has just reminded me.

It was '99 for me, when I was courting my wife-to-be.
