Found a site for great Chinese ship models, but its entirely in Chinese, and I'm not sure if the models suit any scale

there is no shame in starting a new scale.

It all looks very nice, and expensive!

Nice find! The prices are in yuan, so the upper ones (350) would convert to around $60 USD USD or so

1 Yuan equals 10 pence

Does anyone here read Chinese? Is there a translate for Chinese on the Net?

Are they of a consistent scale? And if so what scale?

The Ralgard faction from Spartan Games' "Uncharted Seas" game are similar to ancient Chinese ship, in 1/600 scale:

Hi

From Google translate the larger ships are ~50-60 cm (20-24 inches) and the smaller ones are ~30-40 cm (12-16 inches).

Cheers

I bought a couple, and most are a little shy of a foot. I think if someone bought a smaller boat, it would suit 15mm and maybe 25mm.
Here's another site, a couple more models not on that other site:
