    Default Spanish ships a new life

    The current crop of Spanish ships caused a bit of a stir when released due to their small stature.
    The reasons for this have been discussed quite a bit here and safe to say Ares will not be making any changes.
    So for my Trafalgar project I purchased a number of SGN112 a and b to make up the majority of the Spanish fleet.

    I intend to keep the Bahama as is but thanks to the 3d modelling I have already replaced the San Agustin, San Juan Nepomuceno 1766 and San Francisco de Asis. I also intend to replace the San Ildefonso and the Montanes class of ships.
    This has given me at least 8 Ares ships, shall we say spare.
    So I have been looking around to see if I can utilize these as other ships for the spanish navy, maybe some 64s.
    On the wargaming 3d site Simon Mann has a link to a list on Wiki of spanish warships

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...-_1750_to_1769

    So using this I have come across the following and would like opinions as to the options.


    Sgn112 has the following approx dimensions

    Length. Gundeck 49mm or 51mm
    Width 14mm
    Depth 8 mm

    Using the link from 3d site and backing up with 3 decks I have come across the folllowing two class of 68 guns ships lated updated to 70s then 74s which may be fudged to help

    Triunfante class 8 ships

    Length of Gundeck 185' 0 Burgos Feet 51.541 (169′ 1″ Imperial)
    Length of Keel 162' 0 Burgos Feet 45.1332 (148′ 0″ Imperial)
    Breadth 47' 4 Burgos Feet 13.1075 (43′ 0″ Imperial)
    Depth in Hold 22' 3 Burgos Feet 6.164 (20′ 2″ Imperial)

    Serio class 7 ships

    Length of Gundeck 184' 6" Burgos Feet 51.2641 (168′ 2″ Imperial)
    Length of Keel 160' 2" Burgos Feet 44.5768 (146′ 2″ Imperial)
    Breadth 50' 6" Burgos Feet 14.0693 (46′ 1″ Imperial)
    Depth in Hold 25' 2" Burgos Feet 6.9743 (22′ 10″ Imperial)

    Not perfect match's but neither is my measurement of the model SGN112

    So how do these look to take up the slack of excess Spanish ships, your opinions please or am I barking up the wrong tree
