I was going to ask if this was digital photo editing or you rigged up so lights. And then I realised the reality... the MOC's reality being virtual! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Achilles099 Posted February 1, 2023 Very nice model! Just fyi, a 28 gun ship would be a sixth rate, not a fifth rate. The rating system only accounted for long guns, so carronades and swivels didn't count towards a ship's rating (hence why ships rated as 38's in British service actually carried 46-48 guns in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, but were still only rated as 38's).
