so the scale i'm going for with the ships is 1"/25mm=15ft
unfotunately i'm working with 25mm models for people which will leave that off, but what's even more off at this kind of scale is weapon ranges.
a 6" gun on that scale for ranges, would require nearly a whole room if not a whole room to play in if we transferred realistic effective ranges into that same scale for the era...
just a minor annoyance lol
also i'd like to do something larger than the scout cruiser, but with my current funds i think it will be hard/costly to print the scout cruiser let along something even larger.
the paddlewheel frigate is as large as i can realistically get printed right now.
