So for Black Seas, they model at approximately 1/700th scale (most of the boxes have this in the top right corner).
When I do models based on actual places, I used Google Earth’s measuring tool as my guide. When measuring from the gate house to the opposite point on the star I get approximately 4584″. Divide that by 700 and I get 6.55″ as my perfect model dimension. The mdf kit I used as a base came in at 6.375″ after I added details, so I considered that close enough with a ~2.5% margin :).
Also, the large wreck in the scenary kit is actually a 3rd rate – I’m really hoping Warlord will eventaully add frigates to their sprue program :/. I’d say by far frigates are the most fun to paint!
