small scale ships ???

 Another of my weird dio ideas as a break from museum work.

 The lindberg HINDENBURG,suitably adapted and added to will be placed in a sea-scape to portray a crashed ARK type spaceship.It will mean adding lots of spares box bits and plastic sheet but what I really need to convey the size is a fleet of Navy ships surrounding it:-))

  Had a look at the small Revell mini-ships but they are too big! and mainly WW11 vessels.

 The available metal ships in 1/1200 are just a bit too pricey for what is a bit of fun.So any Ideas???

   Would appreciate your ideas..
