My latest 1:1200 custom model is HMS Surprise. Not the frigate of "Master and Commander" fame exactly, but rather the historical 6th rate 28-gun Unité -class frigate of 1796. Here she is "at-quarters", ship's boats towed astern and gun ports open. The French corvette l'Unité was captured in 1796 and taken into Royal Navy service and equipped with the following armament:
Gun-deck: 24 x 32 pounder caronades
Quarter and Fore-deck: 10 x 32 pounder carronades
2x 4-pounder guns as chasers
The model was made for me by Model J Ship. As usual, Julián has done an excellent job.
