Painting a Napoleonic Naval Starter Pack from Langton Miniatures

I noticed a Ship on Mike's TV cabinet and thought it would be nice to paint some. He has the British starter pack, so I decided to buy the Spanish starter pack. Francis is in England so he was nice enough to buy some for me and my sister brought it over when she came for a visit.

The starter set comes with four 1:1200 scale ships. If you have never built something at this scale I can tell you it is very hard. One ship basically comes with a hull and three masts. You must then attach the sales to the masts. Hopefully I got them right. Then you must attach strings to the ship and mast and then the rat lines. On a scale of 1 to ten for difficulty, I would say that this is very close to 10.

This is my first ship. (1st Rate)
