Hi RaFonaRaFona, Ciantys list is excellent. In another thread here "Matters Nautical" I've put a fairly mediocre (I was making up some quick ships for a game) photo or two of the Gary Chalk brigantine that gamer Mac mentions - and also a ship made from a cheap toy that (with a little persuasion) splits into two cross sections. That's how I put in the cannon and curtains. It would also allow for a Captain's Cabin and Gun deck, and the deck cargo grating on the toy opens to the interior. It was for sale in the UK about six months ago in all cheap toy shops round these parts as a Pirate Playset. I will try and post up some pictures of the original and dismembered versions. It needs a bit of conversion work. Only proviso is that it's more suited to the Major General's "place holder" idea of scales - i.e. although 28mm scale it's only a foot long.
"...That would also be the French"

For a mixture of different size pirate boats there's always minimi models:

Knuckleduster make a pack of 2 wounded horses, complete with saddle & saddle bags.
Great help!

I liked the Old Glory.  You were right, the ones that are in multiple layers are waaay too expensive.

Does anyone else know of multi-level merchant and/or pirate ships for 28mm?

I don't mean to beat a dead horse, but I have been looking forever with no luck.

Speaking of dead horses...anyone know where I can get a dead horse mini?

Again thanks for the help.  Everyone here is cool.  I'm glad I stummbled onto the site.
Cheers,

We do alot of barrels etc in various sizes http://www.blackcatbases.com/prodtype.asp?strParents=&CAT_ID=100&numRecordPosition=1.

Erm... on the page linked to above with individual barrels, you say "...if you are looking for Barrel groups please see the small scenery section.".

Where is that? I don't see a "Small Scenery" link down the left-hand column anywhere, and a quick rummage through some of the links that look like they might be relevant doesn't show any barrel groups.

I know keeping a growing website organized can be tough (been there, done that) but I've noticed oddities like this elsewhere on the Black Cat website as well.

Best thing to do is add a direct link from that individual barrel page right to the grouped barrel page! Make it easier to take our money, you know you want it!  :)
