Back in April 2022 I built a number of warships for my Belle Époque imagi-nations. They looked like this:
My scratch-built Burgundian battleships.
My scratch-built Schwarzenberg battleships.
My scratch-built Khakistani battleships.
Whilst they are perfectly acceptable, I've been thinking about building some new models to replace them. For inspiration, I have been looking at the MAJOR GENERAL TREMORDEN REDERRING'S COLONIAL WARGAMES PAGE. (Although the creator of the page - David Helber - no longer adds to it and the original URL no longer works, it is available thanks to it being archived by Wayback Machine,)
On the 'Ships and Boats for Colonial-era Gaming' page, David describes the models ships that he has built and used in his Colonial wargames, including the Ironclad Ram HMS Tempestuous ... which, with a different flag, became the SMS Dundermaus.
The model is 9-inches long and scaled to work with 25/28mm figures. As my ships need to look right alongside 15mm figures, I could reproduce something similar and it would be just under 6-inches long ... which I think is eminently doable.
