I'm excited to announce that the first model belonging to our new 1:600 scale Age of Sail ships range is right now available and ready to sail toward foreign seas. As a matter of fact, some are already sailing toward some trusting-in-advance customers' harbors, while a handful of others are on the way to Scale Creep U.S.A. headquarters too.
As you can see by the picture above, the model can be considered as a fast build one, because it consists of a maximum of 15 parts – some of which are optional, as stern lanterns and alternative mast tops. Most of the parts are white-metal – except for the hull, bow and mast tops, that are high quality and resin-cast. And lastly, the model kit is complemented by a sheet with ensigns, mast flags, and jack for a Spanish treasury galleon – with several other, alternative flag sheets already available at our website, and many more on the way.
Please have a glance at a built-up sample, masterly painted by Julián of Model J Ship (it is worth pointing out that he chose a foremast rigging option, with fully unfolded sails, differing from the one actually in the kit):
We're planning to expand this new range as fast as possible, with a second galleon release next month, as well as a man-of-war on workbenches right now. Besides, we've made an agreement with Skytrex Ltd. to carry as retailers their Triton 1:600 scale ranges (Armada, Renaissance galleys, and possibly even Ancient galleys too), that are going to add to our current availability of Peter Pig ships.
