A question...

My brother is starting a business, and he is considering making ship models for use in naval wargaming. He has long thought about ships for the Anglo-Dutch Wars. His first question is what scale that gamers would like to see. I would add another question: what type ships would people like to have available for gaming? I had thought that you might use larger scale ships and fight situations such as the Brederode at the Battle of Dungeness, when she was attacked by the Garland and the Anthony Bonaventure. Tromp was saved when Jan Evertsen came up in support in the Hollandia, and they took the two attackers, one at a time.
