Hi Craig, I'll take this chance to thank you for the reply and mention
what a nice page you've got. (It gave me some ideas for
one of my miniatures)

Hm.. I'll have to keep an eye out for one of those, but I think it looks
a *little* off for what I was envisioning. But I'm bad at visualizing
things until I build them sometimes.

Yeah.. I'm going to keep filing at the lance.. But I think I will go
with the cutlass.
Are any (cheap?) underwater sets including the small dagger still in
'print' and still around?

Hm, too bad pirates arent really around?
Much as I hate to take a piece from it and risk loss, I'll have to look
at the torsos
on my Black Seas Barracuda's pirates and see if there's anything
similar. (Couldnt
see a picture of the white shirt/green vest pirate for that set you
mentioned.. Maybe if I search for instructions for the set? [which I
think isnt far out of print])

I totally agree that a musketeers-era and place setting would be cool
but probably only in a limited number of sets which probably wouldnt
be as commercially viable. Unfortunately.
