Spotted these on Amazon -

100 54mm pirates and skeleton pirates for £12.99, less than 13p per figure.

The skeletons are fun figures, the human pirates could make ship crew for earlier or later periods, and could be converted for other perionds such as AWI.

I have looked on ebay - are those the large pirate ships and are they about 24" long? Looks like you can get hulls and bits of incomplete sets fairly cheaply.

I took a look at the UK eBay site and you've got a bigger, and cheaper, selection than we have here in the States.

I use Playmobil ships for my 54mm pirate games.

They are cheap, readily available on Ebay, and paint up nicely. The bigger ones are about 20 in long, smaller ones maybe 12 in.

The ships have a nice timber texture so I spray matt black, then dry brush with a suitable timber colour then paint in the details.

Some pictures here -

I enjoyed looking at the link pictures of your swashbuckling game. I was going to suggest Playmobil pirate ships, there are some good pictures of these on Alessandro’s Playmobil gaming site including floating ones out at sea!
