"Ships?" Topic

Are there any current production Naval (Napoleonic?) Flats?

I have some approximatley 1/2400 "1th Century Dutch Warship" from the "Nabisco Great Parade of Transporation" in PLASTIC; They look spectacular in mass, no fidly rigging.

But what I have is all I will ever have, you have to buy an assortment; You get about eight to ten "USeful" Ship models in the assortment, a nice Galleon (Pirates anyone?), "Caravel" and "Carrack", the Dutch Warship, a nice "Arab Vessel" (Dhow) and some others. All small.

According to my Googling, these are 1960s vintage pieces.

Not exactly what you are looking for but might be interesting – what I'd call semi-flats from Jack Scruby. Check this post on Table Top Talk:

Yes, those are what I have; I bought them in Hard Plastic by the gross (or could) from M&J Variety ($15); Same tooling, just different, old stock.

About eight useful ship models:

Age of Sail: (Four)
17C Dutch, Galleon, "Carack", and "Caravel",

Related:

Arab (Dhow), Chinese Junk, Thames Barge,

Galleys:

Egyptian (Galley) and Greek (Trireme)
(The "Roman Vessel" is a Round Ship

And a large (2"/5cm) Viking Ship.

(A similarly larger "Galley" which I think is a Venetian Galleas)

(The others above are about 1.5"/35-40mm)

The soccer mom factor seems to have been at work even then, nothing from the Napoleonic Wars, but a "Frigate" which is a mid 19C Steam Frigate! (Which is almost always poorly centered and has lots of flash).

Anyone want some of the Land specimens?
