How to paint Age of Sail ships

Archived from groups: rec.games.miniatures.historical (More info?)

For Christmas, a friend gave me some Age of Sail ships of the line (in
1:2400 scale, the %$@#! sadist <g> ), but I've never painted ships
before. Can anyone point me to good resources on not only how to paint
sailing ships, but what they should look like.

Thanks

Go to:
http://ucsu.colorado.edu/~trochim/AOS/AOS.html
There is a guide about painting 1:1200 ships, but it should still be
useful for 1:2400 ships.
The site is still under construction, the the PDF file is available.
