And here she is in 18mm. I still have to work up the assembly instructions, but she should be available in week or so.  Find us on Facebook for more pictures.

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.

Thanks for the note Blue.  I am glad you like the ships.  I try to make them as accurate as possible but still make them both easy to build and game friendly.  So I am glad to have a naval archaelogist in my camp. The battle of Plattsburgh would be great at a convention using our 28mm ships and perfect at home using the 18mm scale.  It has a good variety of small frigates and smaller ships and is a relatively even fight.  I have the builders drafts for a few of the ships involved, but if you have access to all of them I would love to see what is possible.  With the 200th anniversary of the battle a year out, I need to get to work!
