How about using these ships? Was thinking "The Fort" by Bernhard Cornwell.

They might work, but may be too "gaudy" for mid to late 18th century ships. Have you looked at the Old Glory shipyard?

I'm with ColCampbell the Old Glory Shipyard would be the way to go for doing The Fort.

You should look at these from Laser Dream Works:

I have one and they build nicely.

I agree about Old Glory, but I have their 1/300 AWI/1812 ships in mind. Those would give enough maneuver room on a real table, and they can be crewed with 6mm men and guns.

Personally, I'll probably end up doing this myself someday in 1/1200 and play 15mm land actions on a separate table, because I already have so much of the lead.

I should also mention that Langton makes many 1/300 Napoleonic vessels which would work perfectly for AWI era scenarios.
