1/1500 Predreadnoughts

These are 1/1500 rapid prototyped plastic ships from War Times Journal, painted with a variant of my standard speed-painting techniques. They are beautifully detailed, but a little expensive ($11.75-12.75 each). I bought them to evaluate whether I want to do predreadnought gaming in a scale between 1/2400 and 1/1000.

I intend to add masts later, if I decide to pursue this scale.

HMS Cressy Armoured Cruiser. The smokestacks are straight on the model; my camera distorts them a little.
