Hi All, *** Has anyone out there built a 28mm Barbary Pirates / Corsairs ship and crew? *** I recently picked up a couple of packs of RAFM's corsair pack which comes with three figures: 1. A standing fellow with an Arab sword and a fez.
2. A kneeling fellow with a fez and musket.
3. A more traditional pirate fellow with a head wrap, pistol, and dagger. I've already built a 28mm WAB Arab / Moor / Saracen / Andalusian army and have some leftover figures including a few odd Ral Partha Sinbad figures from way back when… I'm very tempted to build a Barbary war galley with crew… and am looking for some inspiration or to see if some wargamers before me have created anything to inspire me. Please share links! Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

You can find Xebecs on Ebay, but they aren't cheap: auction
For several years, I've been tempted to buy one and bandsaw it into a waterline wargaming ship, but they're just a bit too pricey for me. |

Old Glory makes a Xebec. I believe Eureka makes a range of corsairs, and Crusader and Foundry have a few in their packs. |

Hi Guys, Thanks for all of the great advice! I have taken some phots of my 28mm Barbary Pirates / Corsairs crew if you'd like to peruse them here: link I also have a few others photos including some 28mm WAB El Cid Sudanese spearmen. Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.
