1/2400 is mostly for tabletop wargaming. There are moderately recognizable models of most ships from most eras, and there are super-detailed models from GHQ that can run $20 each. I bought their King Edward VII years ago, then got a resin-casting kit and made my own copies. It subs quite well for all the British pre-Dreadnoughts in that scale.

With enough attention they look pretty good for 1-inch-long models. I've done all nine Majestics, all three Formidables and had just started on the Londons when my model-building was 'curtailed'. I'll have to get them out of storage and take a picture sometime.
