Do you have a list of parts for each type?  This is the theme I was looking to start customizing for Royal Navy and American set of ship displays.

I just realized that I missed a question in my post...
How did you make the fuse for the cannon?
I know the stick you used, but what did you use for the actual fuse? ???

They're excellent, Hadoque! Wasn't  "Commodore" the rank Bianca Castafiore sometimes used for Captain Haddock from Tintin?
I don't know how the Flamish use the names for the ranks, in the Netherlands is "Commodore" only used by the Air Force, the other names for the one- star- generals are "Brigade Generaal" for the Army and "Schout- bij- Nacht" for the Navy. Probably it's the same in Belgium.

Didn't know the British had blue uniforms in that time, somehow I presumed all their uniforms were red. Learning all the time on this forum, thanks!!!

A strap normally used to hold a camera, or binoculars and such, ...  like this one:

Yep  ;)

When not mistaking, a "commodore" is a flexible rank, given to the officer in command of a fleet of ships (not the whole navy) at a specific time.
In the former Belgian Air Force (it is now called "Air Component") I think the highest rank is general (with *** ).

Yes, in those days the English/British army used to wear red uniforms (with white trousers), and the Royal Navy's uniforms had blue coats.

Nice customs, Hadoque!  I really like what you've done, although I'd personally switch the uniforms of the midshipmen and the 2nd lieutenants.

Yes, something's not completely right with the uniforms/ranks. I've considered you're suggestion, but I want to keep the midshipmen with the unifoms used, because they're jackets look rather lowest-rank. But I think I'll give the 2nd lieutenants a 1-rank promotion, and the 1st lieutenants a 1-rank degradation  ;)
