The English ship 'Anne' of the White squadron had the wings of the angel figurehead removed to give her a more generic look. The Dutch 3rd Rate 'Groot Hollandia' had the angel figurehead removed completely and replaced with a lion from a sprue of Black Seas ships. - 271172178 2130558690428689 1631310062768780282 n
I removed the 'sunbursts' from the stern to get some more room for the freehand paintings. The painting of the stern of the Dutch ship 'Groot Hollandia' was based on its historical counterpart but the different configuration of the stern (the model represents a slightly later type of ship) made a one-on-one representation impossible.
