Valiant had during the 70s focused on naval vessels including a range of space ships for wargaming.  This is a selection of 1/1200 ships from their Spanish Main range.  The ships are highly detailed as one would expect for this scale.  Ships appeared to be either British or Spanish with some generic vessels and a galleass with either square or lanteen rigged sails.  The galleys available appear to have been part of the smaller scale Napoleonic range and sadly did not match the ornate galleass.

Though quite old, it appears that the Valiant molds are still in use and these ships can usually be found on E-Bay.  The ships are sturdy and put up with a reasonable amount of abuse except for the foremasts which have a tendency to topple with the slightest pressure.  These are good for Armada  games, piracy on the Spanish Main and similar things.
