Peter Pig 15mm figures
Peter Pig is one of the world's leading 15mm figure manufacturers.  We make 6000 different figures and models.  These are distilled into   1800 (15mm) packs. Every range has an associated set of rules. Also, there are related 15mm scenery ranges to accompany the figure ranges.  In these days of wandering measures of sizes into 18mm, 12mm and other sizes close to 15mm; Peter Pig has remained true to the 15mm ideal.  These other sizes are often an attempt by a manufacturer to create a market  for just their peculiar size. It is also used by sculptors who cannot work well with the 15mm size restriction and so need extra size in order to create acceptable sculpts. Peter Pig will continue to do 15mm wargame figures.  We will also constantly return to each range in order to carry out updates and additions.
Thus we have  15mm ranges with longevity and future potential.

The Ships

Why 1/450th (PP scale)

1/450 is not a popular scale for ships.  We made some little wooden blocks to determine what size models to use. The models had to look convincing in sea battle games.   Also the models had to be comfortable to handle in terms of size and weight.  The last criteria was that the models had to have enough detail to make their type clear to gamers. So we arrived at the arbitrary scale of 1/450th in order to fulfil these 3 main criteria. At Peter Pig, we are able to create whatever scale and models we wish, so are not constrained by what is already available or by popular matches of scale to periods of warfare.  This means we offer to our customers a no -compromise range of ships for sea games in the age of piracy.

The ships are modelled for gaming, rather than as fine scale models.  On the game table they give a good impression of  the distances involved is sea fights.


These ships are built to 1/450th scale. 1/450th Ships. Pirate range. Figures =4mm.   1.5 feet = 1mm

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  our Pieces of eight rules.

The terms "small", "medium" and "large" are in relation to the PP Pieces of eight rules.

Notes on ship basing

Left. PP ships with extension bases to show ship names. The extensions are thin plastic card. 15mm by 45mm.

Half of the length is under the ship and the other half protrudes. The protrusion is for the name.

The bases are there to show the ship name, without turning the model over to see the bottom every turn.
