The following is a brief description of the menu selection on the left.
1:1200 Ships
This is a comprehensive range of ships of the line. It includes British, French, Spanish,
Dutch, Danish and American vessels. The hulls and sail sets are sold separately. This page
lists the selection of hulls.
Sail Settings
With the scale 1:1200 models, there is a choice of sail settings in white metal
and in photo etched brass. These are available for the different sizes of hulls. This page
gives the selection of sails plus diagrams.
1:1200 Unrated
Vessels with complements of less than 20 guns - with brief descriptions of type.
1:1200 Misc.
The miscellaneous items include Ensign & Pennant sets, Ship Bases, Disabled and Non
Combatant Vessels etc.
Age of Sail
This is a brief description of the rate of warships in Nelson's day and might prove useful
when deciding on your 1:1200 fleet.
Named Vessels
Most vessels in the 1:1200 range are unnamed and represent whole classes of ships. For
example, the 74 gun Common could be any of the 74s with a gun deck length of 168-170ft.
This 'Named Vessels' page gives a brief
description of the named vessels included in the 1:1200 range of hulls, with links to
colour photos. A full list of names of vessels of the period will be available at a later
date in a series of fleet lists.
1:1200 Buildings
The buildings and dockside are based on the city and harbour of Toulon, France, 1793 at
the time of the siege. Many of the models are based on actual plans of buildings from the
Maritime Museum, Paris. They complement the 1:1200 Napoleonic Ships and many are suitable
for other periods.
1:1200 Photos
A new gallery of photographs of 1:1200 Napoleonic vessels. You can still view named
vessels on that particular page.
1:300 Ships
This is a series for modellers and wargamers with more extensive modelling skills.
Although the selection is limited, the detail is painstaking. A mixture of mediums is used
where appropriate for the best results. For example, the shrouds and ratlines are brass
photo etched from computer generated artwork, whereas the masts are in white metal. You
can wargame with 1:300 scale, using Clear for Action.
Painting/Rigging
Guide for 1:1200
A guide to assembly, painting and rigging of 1:1200 Napoleonic Naval models by Langton
Miniatures. With full colour illustrations. Price £10.00. See page for details.
Signal Close
Action
Wargame rules for scale 1:1200, a conventional paper set which was written by Rod Langton
and introduced the innovative 'Ability Chart' which enabled large fleet actions while
minimising record keeping.
