Just an update for those interested in the ships I am making for this battle in 1/1200 scale. I have decided to cast them all in metal as opposed to metal masts and resin hulls . The first models will be ready next week and I will send photos to anyone interested in buying these models. I have also included "Chatas" and the Paraguayan gunboat that broke down on its way to the battle . Resin bases will also be available for those wishing to mount the ships.
I have found an good site (see link below) with staged maps of this battle and interestingly these relate the course of the action differently to that described in Warner's book. I personally find this source a little more convincing as it doesn't contradict itself as Warner's book does link |

Thanks for making these ships. |

I will be moulding the ships tomorrow so should be able to send pictures of ships painted in primer to TMP supporting members next week . I won't be able to do this for other members as I don't have your email addresses unless I can figure out how to download pictures to TMP. If I can break even on my costs of making these models I may make some of Salvanale ships next year as well. |

Wargamer6, why don't you upload them to photobucket, or any similary service? I'd love to see your miniatures. |
| Zhao Zilong | 06 Dec 2015 5:25 p.m. PST |
Looking forward to seeing these. |

Hi Guys. the photos of the ships are out, if you want to see them you will have to private mail me with your Email addresses as I am getting nowhere with photobucket. |
| Kazziga | 07 Dec 2015 8:26 a.m. PST |
OK, please send the photos to kazziga at o2 dot pl |

Having just seen the photos of these ships, I can attest to their excellent quality. I am quite impressed, given the scale. Lots of detail. |
| John the Greater | 08 Dec 2015 6:52 a.m. PST |
I, too, have seen the pictures. Very impressive. |

Wargamer6 gave me permission to post the photos, so here they are:

Those look pretty good! I look forward to buying some. |
| Tom Scott | 13 Dec 2015 4:13 p.m. PST |
Package purchased! Very much looking forward to the models! |
| Tom Scott | 31 Dec 2015 5:28 p.m. PST |
Received my order. Just wished to confirm that the actual models look as good as the pictures, and are extremely well packed. In addition, the matching bases look great (and should be a big time-saver). |

Hi Tom , it would be nice to see some of the Triple Alliance warship models painted up. I have embarked on a new civil war ships project so haven't found the time to paint my set yet. cheers |
| Tom Scott | 03 Jan 2016 8:15 p.m. PST |
Hope to get started in a couple weeks. I will look forward to your Civil War ships (although I would have looked forward more to War of the Pacific….). |

First time visit to his board today – stumbled on this thread.
I's be very interested in getting some of your ships (they look quite lovely, by the way). How do I go about it?
Cheers
