Spanish España battleship 1937 1:1800

España is a Spanish dreadnought battleship of the España class, which was originally Alfonso XIII but was renamed in 1931 after her sister ship and class leader which ran aground and was scrapped in 1923. This model represents her in 1937 just before she was sunk by a mine in April 1937. She served in the Spanish Civil War.

Simple one piece model design for smaller scales and tweaked to ensure as compliant as possible with Shapeways across a range of materials and the perfect base on which modellers can add the fine detail flourishes to, depending on your skill level. The model has ‘floored guns’ for the best durability to reduce breakages, and be printable in the material offered. Designed by Philip Warnes and can be used at a larger hex scale with his SeaLion Supremacy game, or any other naval tabletop game that uses this scale.

If you have family that served on this vessel, why not order a metal miniature to keep as a small family keepsake or gift for someone else whose family served onboard. Or maybe you had family who worked at the yards that built this vessel. Keep your family military history alive.
