The WAS ships are 1/1800 scale which is pretty small.
You could try building the 1/600 scale ships in our download section by printing at 33.3%.
That will give you 1/1800 scale.
You will need to simplify the builds as much as possible because the ships are so small.
I would use 32 Lb cardstock for such a small scale.
Good Luck !

Shapeways has many 1/1800 scale ships for sale.


I made a few 2D ships by scaling the ships drawings to 1/1800 and gluing the cutouts to blue oval bases.

I wanted to delete this message but the method of deletion is less than obvious.

If other materials than paper, than you should definitely look into GHQ catalog and their wonderful line of 1/2400 metal kits.

Right down the bottom of the page at
GHQ Models- The Best Damn Wargaming Products Since 1967
- they could withstand at least some amount of scaling up.
