Crafting Coastlines for Naval Games

[RobertBruce]

Does anyone have any ideas for making or buying coastline terrain to run along the edge of my ocean mat?

 I am gaming historical 1/3000 steam ironclads, hypothetical Victorian French vs British, Italians, Austrians, etc in the Channel or in the Med. RB

Variations of this?

Where do you get miniatures for that?

Thanks! I know some of his videos, will check him out, he does larger scales, I think, but perhaps I can adapt the concepts to 1/3000. I like this scale because it represents distance very well for this era without requiring a huge table  -  and you can still see the ships. I don't need more than a thin strip of coastline here and there to convey the idea of the Channel, or the French coast and naval bases at Brest or Cherbourg.

My ships come from NAVWAR, their 1/3000 Warships in Transition pack is great for this period. Also Davco and War Times Journal for later pre-dreadnoughts. I love the weird, amazing looking ships and the technology that came of age during the 1850-1906 period. Rules are modified Broadside and Ram by David Manley.  RB
