28mm Parrot?

[cheetor]

Im looking for a 28mm parrot or three to go with a pirate project.  A couple of years ago I would have gone straight to MegaMiniatures but these days I am struggling to find what I am looking for.

I am happy to buy from the US if thats what it takes, but as I am based in Europe, a European supplier would probably work out more costs effective.

I am also in the market for monkeys

Can any of you helpful folk point me in the right direction?

Brigade Games have a sprue for that in their Carribean Empires range:

And a monkey pirate

Thank you both.  Those are exactly what I am looking for.

The shipping maths is a bit grim though.  I will have to see if I can round up some other co orderers...

Check out Black Cat Bases....they also have a pirate pets area...

If you can find the now OOP Black Scorpion pirate accessories sprue - that one had a parrot, a small monkey and lots of weapons.

Im in the UK but will happily consider a co-order if possible?
That first sprue looks fantastic to me and could acquire several

I have a couple of suitable BCB items already, but unfortunately as they have yet to fulfil an order that I placed with them last August, with no response from any attempt that I have made to contact them I have to rule them out.  Details on their ongoing lack of order fulfilment is in this thread. 

So BCB is not an option unfortunately

I looked for that sprue nut was disappointed to find that it was OOP.  I might try to track one down.

Im interested in two of the sprue shown above.  Being based in Ireland would add a bit of cost, but as those sprues look like they could be taped between two pieces of cardboard and popped in an envelope I imagine that shipping from the UK to Ireland wouldnt cost more than £1.

Drop me a PM if you are interested in something like that matthais-mouse.

Thanks for your help everyone.

 i could use a couple of those sprues, too.

I'll be at Historicon this coming weekend.. If Brigade Games is there (they were last year) i'm going see if they have these with them.

If anyone over the pond is interested, i can pick up some, and send them over - thinking a padded envelope wouldnt be too much postage.

Paul, if you go the Brigade Games route, or even Reaper (who MUST have parrots and monkeys in their animal/familiar line - I'll go check now), I don't mind ordering it and then sending it your way over the pond - it shouldn't cost much to put them in a padded envelope. Let me know - happy to do it for you.

So, are your space-orks in the market for some colorful fauna? Great idea for them, if that's the case. On an entirely unrelated note, I've painted a few models this year, so if I can take a half-decent picture or two, I'll finally post something on the forum!

[EDIT] Just checked Reaper, and they do have a parrot (flying, though, not ready to be seated on a shoulder), and they have a number of monkeys, including a couple of powder monkeys. If it's a case of needing a couple of things from Reaper, and the parrots from Brigade games, let me know. It's no problem.

Hi guys.  Thanks for all the offers of help


Pacarat - If you were willing to pick up four sprues of the parrots and send them on to me then that would be fantastic.  I have spoken to matthias-mouse and I will then forward him two of the sprues.  Let me know if that sounds ok to you.

Hawkeye - PM incoming

No prob. Will let you know once I get to the con.

[cheetor]

Great, thanks.  Keep me in the loop and I will get you cash once you know if you can manage it.

No joy on the parrot sprues. Talked with Lon from brigade games. They did not bring any of those sprues to the con...

Sorry...

No problem at all pacarat, thanks for trying.  I will try to get an alternative arrangement worked out with Hawkeye.
