A class of British 50-gun fourth rates. This design is based on plans for HMS Leopard.

 

This file has been completely rebuilt to my new standards; previous purchasers have received this update for free.

The ship now has STLs for resin and FDM printing in 1/700, as well as a 1/1200 resin-printable file. What's more, a Blender Exporter is included for customising the vessel.

Famous ships among this class include HMS Leopard, infamous for the Chesapeake-Leopard Affair in which she attacked an unprepared USS Chesapeake to seize British members of the latter's crew and HMS Leander, which participated in the Battle of the Nile and made a good showing for herself despite being the only British ship to fight there with less than 74 guns.

This ship boasts detailed deck planking, modelled cannons and open gun ports.

The model is currently optimised for FDM printing, with a more detailed “resin version” being planned for release as an update in the future.
