I did wonder if you chose the Qing flag just as an example of how the different pennants etc. would look…

Yes it was so grin

I was just hoping you were going to do the actual {Eastern Asian} ships in resin, like with your Spanish galleons…

Well, what I have currently in mind is quite closely related to Mediterranean warfare: galleys of several sizes, xebecs (either 'pure' Latin-rigged or 'hybrid' ones) and square rigged men-of-war (this is what my wishlist comprises right today). However, once the range is launched it's users' wishes that shall rule.

Now that our Spanish Galleon project is closing to a hopefully happy end (whose results will be shown soon), it comes the time to start thinking of a 1:600 scale accessories range, that in my mind should unavoidably begin with an appropriate set of 17th and 18th centuries Naval Flags – so as to allow each one to further customize and decorate his/her ships – either those we're gradually going to release, or from other brands.

Consistently to the already existing collections of SCW 1:100, 1:72 and 1:56 flags, this new range will be printed as separate DIN A7 paper sheets, each one devoted to one particular ship type and nation. Each sheet will include one ensign, two alternative (or complementary) mast flags, one bow jack and one triangular or swallow-tailed pennant, following the general pattern shown below (using a fictional sample, BTW):

Sample

According to Minairons commitment toward Iberian Peninsula nations History, we have already designed and printed some first sheets; but beyond such commitment, we believe that our highest priority must be given to users' own will, so I've decided to place a complete poll consisting of two related questions, which I invite you to answer.

Please read the complete piece of news on Minairons blog.

Cheers!
