Like the Spanish ships, the American fleet is all from the old Houston Ship line of 1/1000 or 1/1100 metal models.

Splendid, especially for me the USS Brooklyn!
ReplyDeleteThe Brooklyn is certainly big and handsome! Growing up in Oregon, I am partial to the USS Oregon especially in its pre-war white.
DeleteThese are rather fine indeed. I'll second Phil regards the Brooklyn.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Michael!
DeleteGreat work and a fascinating niche to game!
ReplyDeleteThe last time I played naval minis, I was in my teens. Goodness that was a long time ago.
Thanks, Monty! It is good to have a fascinating niches in which to game.
DeleteLast time these ships were used in violence, my 30 year old son was in his teens!
An awesome Great White Fleet. Also, you are making me feel really old.
DeleteYeah, me too...
DeleteAgain, an excellent looking fleet!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Thomas!
DeleteGreat looking ships, not a period I know a lot about!! Especially the naval side.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Ray. The naval side was quite one-sided. I don't suppose it was destined to be that way. Perhaps actions on open waters may have helped the Spanish or maybe not...
