My favourite naval miniatures are the 1/6000 scale Figurehead ships currently produced by The Last Square in Wisconsin. Their range is vast, but also static, particularly for the modern era, which seems to have ended in about 1999 for them. Additionally, their post-war miniatures only cover a handful of navies: the USA, UK, USSR, and Argentina. That simply won't do. I recently became aware of the Beagle Conflict between Argentina and Chile, the two nations almost coming to blows in 1978 over a long-standing dispute over three islands in the Beagle Channel. The Argentine battle plan was fairly conventional: they planned to use their aging ex-American cruisers and destroyers, some refitted with Exocet, to hold the smaller and less modern Chilean fleet at arms length so the Skyhawks on their aircraft carrier could bomb enemy ships and troops to their hearts' content while they landed troops on the contested islands. The Chileans, then under a weapons embargo from the United States for...reasons, had no illusions about their chances against a more numerous and better-equipped foe, and so planned to poison the water supply of Buenos Aires, a fine example of the kind of lateral thinking that got them embargoed to begin with. They also sortied with their fleet, for whatever else you may say about them, they've always had a very proficient navy. The Chileans divided their force into two task groups. Grupo Acero, was led by the Brookyln-class Capitan Prat (ex-USS Nashville CL-43), along with the Fletcher-class Blanco Encalada (ex-USS Wadleigh DD-689) and Cochrane (ex-USS Rooks DD, the Sumner-class Ministro Zenteno (ex-USS Charles S. Sperry DD-697), and the FRAM II Sumner-class Ministro Portales (ex-USS Douglas H. Fox DD-779). Grupo Bronce was led by the Tre Kronor-class Almirante Latorre (ex-Gota Lejon), along with the Improved Leander-class Lynch and Condell (both built for Chile in the UK, but delivered late and with their engines in poor condition due to fallout from the 1973 Chilean coup) and Chile's two Almirante-class destroyers, Almirante Riveros and Almirante Williams, both refitted with Exocet (potent!) and Seacat (useless!) missiles. Anyway, would you believe it, nobody bothered to make a miniature of a Tre Kronor-class cruiser suitable for wargaming, let along one after the class's late '40s refit that replaced their very Italianate superstructure (the class was designed for Sweden by Cantieri Riuniti dell'Adriatico, best-known for building Roma and Vittorio Venetto around the same time) with a sort of Queen Anne's Mansion-styled one. So I did it. I did it all by myself, which is why it's so terrible, but maybe this will inspire some competent hero to stride forth and do a better job where I've done a lousy one. Before last night, I had never used Fusion 360 ever in my life, and it was a painful process to bungle through making this proud beauty. As such, I beseech you, if you ever print one off, or better yet, paint one, please post the make. Let me know that at least one thing I've done in a wasted life was not entirely a waste.
