Today it’s the turn of our new Spanish Aeronef<\/a> to hit the website. This is our first completely new fleet in quite a while, and the first to be digitally sculpted from the start. The original designs are based on a prototype that Phil made many, many years ago that we attempted to cast but didn’t survive the mould-making process. We resurrected the design and extended the fleet to a total of nine vessels from battleship down to a tiny patrol nef. The ships have a broadside layout with most of the firepower concentrated in turrets with little or no forward or aft arcs of fire. The two capital ships have resin hulls with metal superstructures and everything from destroyer up has separate turrets (tip – paint the turrets separately, it makes it so much easier to define the line between turret and deck).<\/p>\n

Two fleet packs are available along with a torpedo flotilla. Most of the turrets are existing designs but the huge triple turrets on the Espa\u00f1a are new, and all are available in separate accessory packs.<\/p>\n
