New 1/700 3-D prints from Turner Miniatures have been added to my collection, and in my recent post I showcase the French 40-gun frigate Coquille and her four sister ships of the Coquille-class.
In addition, I take a look at the history behind the other model featured, the rather unique, HMS Glatton 56-guns, and her famous action off the Dutch coast in 1796, single-handed against a French squadron, likely consisting of a French razee, five frigates/corvettes and a brig, under her daring commander, Captain Sir Henry Trollope.

Those are beautiful models. I have several of the Turner 3D models, but I game in 1/1200. How well do you think the models will shrink down to that scale? |

A very interesting read, certainly showed the difference in aggression between opposing captains. |

Beautiful models! Don't sell yourself short because the paint and rigging brings them to life. |

There is another Turner range that will fit better, I think.

Hi Chaps,
Thanks for your comments, much appreciated and glad you enjoyed the post. As for the 1/1200 option I can't comment as I only work these days on 1/700, and my appreciation can only be applied to these models in that scale, which I rate as excellent. Cheers

monk2002,
Which range would that be? |

BrianW I have printed the 1/700 at 1/1000 to match the Sails of Glory ships and they do work well. Some of the smaller ships may suffer from fragile details through. |
