Pieces of Eight

The Ships.

These ships are built to 1/450th scale.  This is just right for the sea battles. Men are 4mm high.   Each ship comes as a simple kit consisting of hull, masts (with sails moulded  on!), rear windows and any other bits needed.  Although ships are designated " warship" or "merchant ship"  they can be freely interchanged as pirates would convert ships to warships and warships could be used to carry goods.

You buy the guns  and deck crews  in separate  packs in order to make the ship look as you would wish it.

This range contains all that is needed for the naval battles in the pieces of eight rules.

This is great fun and requires a minimal outlay .
