I've painted some Pirates of the Orion's set "English Pirates". (PSR : link )

Excellent figures in my opinion and a lot of fun to paint them !

Very, very nice!

I think the model ship fits well and looks fine with your 1/72 scale figures.

Does Orion also make the model ship?

The guy chugging down the bottle is my favorite. I think I might convert one to a Civil War general.

I really like the way you painted the toy ship model.

I hope I can find one like that too!

Nicely done! I picked up three of the ships when Toys R Us was blowing them out. Wish I had gotten a few of the Chinese ones too. I also picked up some other Pirates, IIRC correctly to go with them. I own some of the Captain Kidd and Morgan's model Pirate ships to use with them. I really liked a scenario that was in Once Upon a Time in the West Indies.

Thanks,

John

it's possible to find those ships on ebay but they are not cheap-ship *! I don't know if they are easier to find in the US or in England ?
