All at Sea - Fleet Build, Battle of Camperdown, Part Three
« on: November 10, 2023, 09:23:12 PM »
Work has progressed on my project to realise the Battle of Camperdown in 1:700 scale with the addition of three British 74-gun third rates, part of Vice-Admiral Onslow's Leeward Division and including his flagship, HMS Monarch.



In the post, as well as looking at the careers of the three ships featured, Monarch, Russell and Montagu, I take a look at the career of Admiral Onslow prior to the battle and the signal book in use by the British, Lord Howe's signals that he perfected prior to the Glorious First of June.

Hi James,
Thanks mate.
I’m having a lot of fun with these models and I’m looking forward to bringing this little project to the table.

Each and every one is a little gem. :-*
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo
