Hi, I know about the expensive Euro brands and the old Houston's ships line, but does anyone know of any prospects for someone starting a 1:1200 line of pre-dreanoughts reasonably priced for the USA market?! Dr G |

I feel your pain. One of the big misses out there in the industry. Might make a good kickstart. |

There are some nice 1/2400 from Viking Forge but I have heard nothing of 1/1200. You have your choices listed unless you can persuade someone new to take the plunge. |

VSB, Would you like to make some 1/1200 scale masters? Bill. |

I agree. I want to do a small naval action scenario and just 6-7 Navis/Neptune ships will cost me more than $300. USD I may have to make my own from balsa wood and plastic card, but they won't have the detail that Navis has. I can't blame Navis though… |

I would be interested in these as well. |

I, too would like to see VSB get something in production. |

I've seen a few 1200 pre-dreads up on shapeways. Not the most detailed of models, but they weren't $60 USD apiece, either. |

Mick Yarrow does a few ships which you may find useful, including Schleswig Holstein and some early dreadnoughts (which could be adapted): link
And they're quite cheap!
Skytrex do some earlier ironclads: link |
