Battle of Trafalgar, 1805

A project I started way back in the 80s, and then moved on to other projects. Almost on a lark, decided to flesh out what I had started, by putting together about 14 additional models. Still more to go but here is what it looks like so far:
This is a view from the north, with the British fleet to the left and the Spanish-Franco to the right. HMS Victory is top of center
A view now from the south. You can make out the two British lines closing on the enemy. HMS Victory top of center with Royal Sovereign almost dead center.
Looking over the British Fleet from the west. The massive Santisima Trinidad can be seen top left with a reddish tint.
View of the vanguard of the Spanish-Franco Fleet, with Santisima Trinidad upper left of center, with HMS Victory top center. Those slips of papers w/o models refer to the future expansion of the battle. Another Spanish 74 and a French 40 gun frigate have now been ordered. Some additional rigging needs to be done as well, but there is an end in sight!

So sorry I didn't respond, I never saw my own comments section! They are indeed GHQ, some from the 80s!
