Hi all,
With the last six models added to my 1:700th Trafalgar collection on April Fools Day this year, recreating all seventy-seven ships that were present, I have put together a post and video presentation looking at the collection as a whole.
In the video, as well as seeing the collection together for the first time I go through why I decided to do it and how I intend to play with them, given the extra considerations of table space when playing at this scale; together with rules and a look at some of the regularly asked questions that have come up during the eighteen months spent putting it together which might be of help to others looking to do a similarly daft project. Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to comment about the collection as it progressed and it's onward and upward to the next eleven Spanish models to allow Cape St Vincent to be played.
If you would like to know more then just follow the link to JJ's and the further link to the video clip. link JJ |

is a big fan of the Age of Sail, and these ships really speak to him - he loves transitional eras, and the Anglo-Dutch Wars was one of those.
