Well, for miniature models, scale and level of detail are pretty important in the decision. They can range from high end [such as those at http://www.tallshipmodels.com/soldgallery.htm ] to pretty simple used for wargames [such as that at http://www.wargamesfoundry.com/library/pir...eship/index.asp ]. It really depends very much on what you are looking for.

Greetings, Calico Jack. Have you seen the work of a gentleman by the name "McCaffrey". He builds models of Admiralty Quality yet length on deck less than 2"! His work is remarkable. Since reading this forum I am going to see if I can find his models on line. I saw several works at the Museum Gallery at Mystic Seaport Museum.
