I finally finished phase one of my Dutch Wars fleets.

Very nice. A fleet in being if ever there was one.

Great job Matt!

That’s an impressive line of battle Matt…well done!
I’ll just stick this here rather than starting a new thread. I finished the Dutch rated ships and started messing around with rules: https://shellsplash.blogspot.com/2020/03/anglo-dutch-wars-dutch-fleet.html
Very nice! Are these all Langton 1/1200 hulls?

Impressive! Looks almost like one of those block-cuts from the olden days.

Thanks guys, sorry for the late reply. The models are all 1/2400 Tumbling Dice.
Ah yes, I can tell when I enlarge the photos. Should have done that in the first place before asking the question. Sometimes my wife accuses me of just wanting to hear myself talk!

Well it gave me a +1 morale bonus to think someone might mistake them for Langtons! I was very much going for a zoomed out mass effect look rather than trying to make each one look amazing through a close-up lens.
The Langton models are beautiful but those fleets in 1/1200 would take up about 8′ of space deployed in line, and would cost somewhere north of £400. The TD ones came in just under £100 and take half the space, so they fit comfortably on a 6’x4′ table. Plus I don’t have to rig them – I hate rigging!
Understood with much empathy! 😉
