‘El Ifayenoe’ the Flagship of Don Cliche takes to the seas! Resin and metal and quite a beast..
Continental Frigate 'Hancock' (as in 'John')
Normal Warlord kit but slight conversion of the figurehead. It was apparently a figure of a man in a blue suit and cocked hat holding a document and pen (Declaration of Independence). When the ‘Hancock’ was captured into Royal Navy service they kept the name and figurehead (terrible bad luck not to) but did cut off the figureheads right hand with which it would have signed the Treasonous Document!
Continental Navy fleet
Led by newly finished Frigate 'Hancock'Master & Commander Starter Set
Commission work for a client but always enjoyable results from these great kits
U.S.S. 'Ranger'
Sloop of War as she may have appeared off Carrickfergus Castle near Belfast c1778 under the command of John Paul Jones of the new US Navy. Flag is conjectual based on the one later flown by him on the captured ‘Serapis’.
