Very nice! I just bought 2 more Revell "1/72" cog models, so now I have 3 which is the nucleus of a fleet. These go very well with 28mm figures BTW and they are waterlined kits! |

I like that it's a 1:1 model of a model. Very meta. |

As Armand says, it's most probably inspired on contemporary ex voto offerings, some real samples of which are shown at the Reials Drassanes (=Royal Shipyards, or Reales Atarazanas in Spanish) Maritime Museum, Barcelona. |
