Hello,
The ships are NOT miniature.
The ships are from Mamoli or Artesania Latina. The big wood ship models from
overseas. They cost hundreds of dollars to buy and when completed would sell
for much more. The ships are very beautiful and very detailed.
I have a big interest in miniatures however the big game cons out here might
have train module layouts, chess nuts, as well as the D&D people etc.
As far as beasties -- dragons come in all sizes; the castles have thousands
of hours and detailed. The figures could be from 14 mm to 60mm in scale.
This weekend I will find some pictures and send to you. I am currently at
the University of Chicago and have to give a lecture in about 20 minutes.
Just hanging on the Internet!
Bill

Heh. A couple of the large LEGO Pirate ships cost about as much these days.

I've seen varying degrees of quality in minatures gaming scenery, but most
of
what I saw being used at GenCon definitely leaned towards the better end of
the
spectrum (people might feel robbed if they paid to play with miniatures that
look like they were decorated with paintball guns). It's been about ten
years
since I went, and I don't recall ever seeing any pirate miniatures.
I wonder if anyone has ever played the game with paper markers...

Probably, especially if the scale was significantly different from
mini-figs.
I'm kinda curious about what they used to represent the various beasties.
