1/2400th Chilean Pre-dreadnought Cruisers

I was looking for a model of the French broadside ironclad Couronne on the Tumbling Dice website to use as the Spanish ironclad Numancia for the Chincha Island War, when I stumbled across two new models in the Age of Battleships range. 

These are the Chilean protected cruiser Ministro Zenteno and the armoured cruiser O'Higgins, both of which were built in Great Britain in the late 1890's as a result of the Chilean arms race with Argentina. I added these to my order with no hesitation!

I'm hoping that Paul will add more ships to this range, as well as some for the Argentinian opposition, which seems likely as they are in a Minor Navies annex to the main lists. The obvious would be the battleship Capitan Prat, the protected cruisers Presidente Errazuriz, President Pinto and Blanco Encalada. A few torpedo boat destroyers would finish this off nicely

For the protected cruiser Esmeralda, I can use the Idzuni from the Japanese range, which I already have in the lead pile. With three cruisers to start with, this range would give the chance to have Chilean fleets for the War of the Pacific, the Chincha Island Wars, the 1890's and the 2000's, at least two of which I  have already completed. Excellente!
