Does anyone have a photo of the Peter Pig "Little rebel" model that they could direct me to? Or, in fact, any of the PP 1/600 models for which there are no pictures on the PP website? |

Not Peter PIg, but the pictures on this site might help:

I own it, and I'm not sure what they're using as the LITTLE REBEL in the picture is really PP's model. |

David, in general the PP models are cheaper and also less detailed. I use PP when Thoroughbred has no model for the ship. Or when I need a lot of the same class. My CAIRO class river ironclads are one or 2 TBs and half-a-dozen PPs. The TBs are better but I can't afford 6 or 7 of them. |

>>> I own it, and I'm not sure what they're using as the LITTLE REBEL in the picture is really PP's model. Quite right. We had looked at the Harper's drawings of Little Rebel just last fall; I should have known better. Well, Bay Area Yards seem to do a good one: link Allen |

Does anyone have Peter Pig's Fort Sumter and how good is it? |
| doc mcb | 31 Mar 2010 9:20 a.m. PST |
Yes, I do, and it is very nice. |

The fort is resin, or plaster maybe, and the topside guns are metal. I think there's a few other metal pieces, like the dock, iirc. |

aecurtis,
That pic was from my blog, and is not the 'Little Rebel'. I bought a couple peter pig ships off ebay, and the previous owner had marked the bottom of the ship incorrectly. I believe it is just a generic cottonclad ram. Here are some more pics- mix of TB and PP ships, Fort and harbor set is PP. link Gert |

Yep. As I said, we had discussed it previously: TMP link …and it should have struck me that it wasn't right. Allen |

Unless mine came from Peter Pig mislabeled, PP's Little Rebel is a medium sized sidewheeler while BAY's is a much smaller screwpropelled ship. Reference sources I've seen support the BAY interpretation. Dennis |

A bit of so called threadomancy here. The Little Rebel seems to be missing from the new PP website. Has it been discontinued or is it an oversight? I only ask as I used it in game the other night and was searching for which models are missing from my collection. Sean |

Ignore the above. It's in the Union section under the CSS Planter which was another name for this vessel I believe. |
