First Galleon, ready and shipping!

[Lluís of Minairons]

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 ignote seas. As a matter of fact, some are already sailing toward some trusting in advance customers' harbours, while a handful else are on the way to Scale Creep USA headquarters too.



As you can see by the picture above, 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 parts are white metal --except for hull, bow and mast tops, that are high quality resin cast. And last, model kit is complemented by a sheet with ensign, 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 on a built sample, masterly painted by Julián of Model J Ship (worth to point out he chose a fore mast rigging option, with fully unfold sails, differing from the one actually in 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 met an agreement with Skytrex Ltd. to carry as retailers their Triton 1:600 scale ranges (Armada, Rennaissance Galleys and possibly even Ancient Galleys too), that are going to add to our current availability of Peter Pig ships.

That really is very nice, I think this will new people into doing the Age of Sail for the first time (me).

[Big Martin Back]

That look great. Very tempting!

That does look good but are the white metal sails a bit top heavy for the masts?

No they aren't.

First of all, because they're really thin. Besides, masts are metal cast too, so that they can easily hold the sails.
I can attest it because I'm right now assemblying and painting one such for my own collection

Jolly good
