Does anyone have any pictures of what 28mm pirate miniatures would look like on this ship? link I've been doing lots of googling figuring someone must have tried it, but no luck!

Salibaba; 28mm figures are way to big for 1/72 scale. 1/72 scale is 1" = 6 feet measured from bast to the top of the head. 28mm is base to the eyes (excluding the upper head. They will look like giants – all the more so as during the age of sail the average man was in the low 5 foot range. Mark
