Those would be mine- Bay Area Yards. Still have a few of the items available, but most are no longer available. Now on Facebook, as opposed to a proper website. It's nice to see an occasional BAY mini in a game along with Thoroughbred, Peter Pigs, Shapeways, and all the others. Ironclad and ACW gaming is still with us. |

I have a Bay Area Yards rendition of Shenandoah. It's warped. All of my other ships are Thoroughbreds and have never had a problem with them. They are simply beautiful models. |

Unfortunately, resin can warp far more often than metal. Never seen any metal thoroughbred minis that had any warpage at all. speaks well for their quality. |

Sad to hear about your range, Scafcom1. I only have BAY ironclads (and some of Squirmydads papercrafts). |
