Great stuff!! Many thanks for the tips. The brigantine looks very nice and somewhat affordable.
I actually still have one (well, two, but I do not want to part from both) of those that can be obtained - another member of this forum was interested but could not afford the shipping (ouch, pun-alert!).
I do not remember the exact price of ship+postage, but the ship itself was not expensive.
I could work it out if someone is interested. It seems, I'll not have time nor money to attend any cons (should that be 'battles'??) in the near future to hand it over to somebody for the mere price of it, unfortunately....
