[NAVAL] Ironclad 1/300 or 1/600
« on: August 27, 2018, 12:54:09 PM »
Hi !

Where could i find Ironclad ships (& cie) at 1/600 or 1/300 scale !?

I found Thoroudbred (with a lot of beautiful ships for ACW !) and Olg Glory made some ...

But are there others ranges !?

Thanks !

I have most of the 1/600th Thoroughbred ironclads and they are superb. Peter Pig also has a range which is much cheaper (mostly resin) but not always the same level of detail. 
I don't have any of the OG ironclads but I did buy several of their 1/300th Spanish Armada ships. Not very impressed I must say. Pretty basic and hundreds of bubble holes to fill.
Of course there's always 1/350th scale if you don't mind building kits.  Quite a few ( later-) ironclads available and many of them are superbly detailed. Perhaps up to the point that they aren't suitable any more for wargaming. Example https://www.bnamodelworld.com/bmz_cache/e/ec4ad974629896fde08614ea4e7eeb4f.image.950x605.jpg

If you are not dead set on historical...Spartan once made ships they called 1:1200 but the hatches look 1:600. (Not remembering who took over their models...many of the little ships look like generic ironclads.)

But it sounds like you’d prefer historic not VSF, though. [?]
