Navwar Armada line & free papercraft galleon
« on: October 19, 2015, 11:29:08 AM »
Has anyone pictures of ships/parts from the Navwar 1/1200 Armada line? The manufacturer himself shows none. Are these only hulls or kits (hull, masts & sails)?

BTW: The San Diego Maritime Museum offers a free paper model of their reconstructed galleon San Salvador. It is 1/100 scale but one can scaled it up (about 160%) or alter it with free software like gimp or paint.net. There are two versions available. The simple one might become a cheap & easy 28mm vessel.

Many thanks! Masts/sails but no rigging sounds perfect. I'll try to order some within the next days. It's a pity that they don't offer any pictures. Maybe it's the mystery that makes them attractive to curious customers ;)

In the meantime I received some 1/1200 Armada range ships from Navwar. (Great customer service BTW).

I like them very much. These are the big ships of Lord Howard's squadron (Ark Royal, Triumph, Victory, White Bear & Golden Lion), with the masts & boats of the Triumph. And an One Euro-Cent coin. The prominent gun ports need some sanding, but the overall shape of these tiny ships looks spot-on.
