Goodness me, thats nice. And not overly expensive. Would look great moored at the dockside as your pirates go pillaging.

Not too many parts either. Not sure what the additional bits are, possibly the figurehead?

Wow - that is a nice-looking model.

The figurehead is standard - masts are not.

"The ship w/extras comes with all of the above, as well as multiple below deck floors to simulate movement inside the ship (these are separate from the ship body), 6 deck cannons, and many items for deck scatter. Also included is a removable 'wake' that simulates ship movement."

But even for £33 that's a good deal, and rather nicer than the plastic Revell kits.

Are we going to play the old 15mm ship Pirate game some time (e.g. 2023 WWW)?

Do you think the masts are addition?

It says that you have to make your own:

"Masts and cabling are not included and can be made using the guide located here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1-8HLa3OIk"

Making the masts is relatively easy. Depending on how much detail you want to go to ?
Very nice and a good find. We could do a proper ship to ship combat with those ?
I ve still got my ship from Miniature Wargames to build up too ?

That's what I had in mind. I'd then make up my two "Pirates of the Caribbean" ships for it.
