Fantasy naval, part 1

The first set of ships has arrived - from Valiant:

A trio of Heptares.  Although a length for the miniature is given on the Valiant web site, I was still surprised at them.



Here is a closer look:

Looks
like assembly will be straightforward, although I seem to have too many
starboard-side oar banks (see the bottom ship in the above pic).  I
will send off an e-mail about that.



No
matter what scale I finally choose, and I can see using a combo of
1/900 (for larger ships) and 1/1200 (for the rest especially cargo
ships), I intend to use some of the ideas found here.
