Battle for the Narrow Seas

After my last post which involved painting up some merchantmen for coastal naval battles I thought I would dig out the rest of my models and post a few pictures.  I know others out there will have their own collections and I would welcome being pointed in the right direction to see any photos they may have which will hopefully inspire me.  It is always great to see what people have, how they have painted them, and hear what rules they use.

Now, the miniatures below were not painted by me.  I picked them up from a gaming friend sometime back as he was having a clear out of his wargames kit. They came painted which, as a reluctant painter, was a complete bonus for me.  I may, in the goodness of time, do something with the bases - the black plasticard, while being great for nightime games which was when the majority of action took place, doesnt fit with how I think they should look.  Not everything happened at night so I want bases that will work for both day and night.  A bit of drybrushing with blues and greens should suffice.  

Until now I had never gone through what I have to see what is there as the previous owner game me all of his rules & ship cards with the miniatures.  However, as I have time on my hands, but don't have access to the ship cards, now was a good point to personally identify what is there.  The Heroics & Ross website has some photos available, but old Skytrex website backups on the the Wayback Machine is more complete.  However, this hasn't given me all the information I need which leads me too believe that some of the miniatures came from other sources.

The unidentified vessels could possibly be from PT dockyard or other manufacturers, but as yet my internet searches have not come up with anything concrete.  I will provide an update to this post and the ID's of the vessels once I have details for them all.  If anyone can offer any information to help me ID the remaining vessels it would be much appreciated.
