Rather larger models intended as centre pieces in dioramas are SMS Blucher on her beam ends at the end of the Battle of Dogger Bank in 1915 and HMS Queen Mary exploding at the Battle of Jutland in 1916. The current Navis N-versions of the ships are not particularly suitable for conversion because you would have to add a tripod foremast to Blucher and file off the anti-torpedo nets from Queen Mary.
The other new model is the ferry quay at Leknes in the Lofoten Islands, Norway. This is the first of a series of five quaysides modelled on locations from the Canaries to Norway and Tilbury to Sweden suggested by Sandy Feather and built by John Mitchell on 15 inch shelves to display Sandy's ship models in small dioramas. You will need to supply your own sea bases for these Coastlines models.
