The large paintings of sea battles at the Doges' Palace showed several scenes of hand to hand combat between armored Venetians with greatswords and Turkish infantry and archers.<br /><br />DaveVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08629682074533048304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5113124494092492419.post-78439961189226395482015-01-21T10:27:32.743-06:002015-01-21T10:27:32.743-06:00So with about 1000 models you could do Lepanto in ...So with about 1000 models you could do Lepanto in 1-1 scale? They are very impressive and I like their colourful appearance.<br />I thought "fusta" was Italian for "dice ship", kind of like a fire ship but even more random and dangerous to all concerned?<br />You know, the MDF layering approach would also lend itself to other naval periods, particularly ACW. I wonder if Thomas has thought about this?Mad Padrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00410143683610813671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5113124494092492419.post-9444058799522723702015-01-19T10:58:31.211-06:002015-01-19T10:58:31.211-06:00Thanks Chris!Thanks Chris!Curthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03202047917371080576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5113124494092492419.post-83090325757402510812015-01-19T10:58:21.783-06:002015-01-19T10:58:21.783-06:00I thought you'd appreciate the period Dave!

They had several detailed models of such period ships on display.
