Battle of Trafalgar...

[Harry Faversham]

Some time ago WI Magazine had a freebie of a plastic Napoleonic Wars ship, no clue as to what type it was. I've just read 'Trafalgar- the Nelson Touch', and got touched.
Does anyone make similar plastic kits of the main protagonists, I'm thinking Victory and Royal Sovereign here, plus the Frenchy riff-raff they shot the crap out of?
I can feel a mini Trafalgar coming on if it can be done without too much hard work!

Small (1/3000) but covers the range I think and very very reasonably priced, metal I think.

A review of some plastics that might suit.

The miniature in question was one of the the Warlord Games Black Seas miniatures - a third rate.  They do a whole range including (I believe) the whole of the Trafalgar Fleet from both sides.

Carajon has been steadily building the fleet with some superb modelling.  An example is at this link;

Thanks for the help shipmates.

The Forged in Battle Trafalgar packs, with a few extra frigates thrown in.

Just realised I've got Mark Adkin's book about Trafalgar kicking about somewhere, had it years and never read it. Dare I open it, i@m afraid to what new horizons it may lead me!

Harry, Trafalgar CAN be done on a one to one scale.
You can't say that about Waterloo!

Isn't one of those Paper soldiers books a naval one?

Actually there's two, one for the Spanish Armada and one for Trafalgar.

Ta  Admiral.

See, the thing is Herself's a crafter, never happier than when she's snipping away, making beautiful artifacts from scraps of paper. I'm cogitating it'd be absolutely churlish of me not to allow her the privilege of creating both Trafalgar fleets for me?
I can just see her, wrinkled bulldog like features, breaking into a big smile of contentment as I give her a book with 70 boats to build, and tell her...

"No captain can do very wrong if he places his ship alongside that of the enemy."

You are a brave man, Harry!
