Langton Miniatures 1/300 Brig

Here are some photos of a 1/300 scale English Brig, a Langton Miniatures kit, from around the time of the War of 1812. I am reluctant to call it finished at this point, as there is still some additional rigging and some weathering effects for the sails that I may eventually undertake. On a project where the intricacy of the detail is one of the chief delights it's difficult to reach a stopping point!

    Yeah they are unfortunately way too much money to get them here to me in Canada. Between the currency exchange and shipping it's never going to happen for me. What I am doing however is I am writing an article for Lone Warrior on a naval battle for Lake Erie during the war of 1812-1815. I will be using 1/300 scale paper models form Jeff Knudsen AKA War Artisen out of the U.S. I'll dress them up similiar to what you have done. I stumbled upon your site by accident and I am glad that I did.

      Jeff, there are a few vendors here in the states that I know carry them, like Brookhurst Hobbies, if that makes a difference in the economics. But yeah, any way you slice it they are very expensive kits. Mr. Knudsen's ships are great and I expect will make for excellent illustrations. I look forward to seeing the article and am glad you like the site.

    I will send you a copy of the article after it's published. Also did you scratch build your crew members?

      Jeff, sorry for the delayed reply. Thanks very much, I definitely look forward to reading the article. The figures are actually Langton pieces as well. You can buy packs of crew as separate items, I think one of officers and ship's company, and one of gun crews.
