You could make your own using the instructions on the Major General's site:

There is a very nice one in 1/60 scale (!) from Artesania Latina,



but even with a sale price quite expensive:

There used to be a very nice and "correctly" scaled plastic kit of a chinese junk from Heller, but I can't find it on the net.

Richard Houston sells his beautiful handbuild Chinese junks and sampans via The Virtual Armchair General, although the 28mm size ships usually sell pretty fast when they appear on this site:

Another usuable plastic Chinese junk can be had pretty cheap from Mega Bloks, the "Empress" from the Pirates of the Carribean line, if one is willing to do the work to deck over all those little lego style bumps.

The Chengho Sailing Ship from Trumpeter looks good to me. In the UK it's available from modelhobbies, in Germany from moduni.

There's also a pdf paper-version available from that site

I cannot see the pics, though... used to be there....  :?

I have the old Heller one & one of the Old Glory ships they look good together. Sorry I haven't been able to figure out how to post photos on here.

Host them on a website (like photobucket), the copy/paste the URL of the pic into the img-tags created by clicking the 3rd button in the row just above the smilies, and there you have it.

You can also become a supporting adventurer and get access to your own gallery here.

If you want, e-mail me the pics and I'll put them up. But like Herby F says, get Photobucket, it's easy, I use it. :)
