I love what you are doing here...really great stuff. I've been drooling over your 28mm ships for a while now but am really excited about the 18mm size as being more cost effective as I would love to play small fleet actions in the future.
I would also like to offer you any assistance that I can in helping to research vessels or find plans for future additions to your range. I'm a nautical archaeologist who works on Lake Champlain and wrote my thesis on a War of 1812 vessel from the Great lakes (HMHT
Nancy). The Museum at which I work at (
www.lcmm.org) has an extensive amount of research material on the vessels that participated in the Battle of Valcour Island (1776) as well as the Battle of Plattsburgh Bay (1814). As most of these vessels are on the smaller end of the warship spectrum they would all make great additions to your existing line...like the
Lee and
Lady Nelson...
...anyway...I have dreams of being able to recreate the battle of Valcour or Plattsburgh Bay as an event here at the museum someday so If I can help make that happen and help you expand your range at the same time I would be happy to do so.
Cheers...keep up the excellent work.
