Here's a look at the starter set. I have to say, the models are quite disappointing.

I respectively have to disagree. Here are shots from my set that arrived a couple of weeks ago. One is the First Rate sculpt and the other Blackbeard's Revenge. I think much of the detail is more subtle and isn't as evident on the brown plastic. I fully expect that when Julian finishes up painting some of these models they will certainly impress.

Have you had a chance to play yet Jim? Was supposed to have a game last weekend, but fell through, and difficult now to get folks together.

I have not gotten the chance to play a game. Gaming has been curtailed significantly due to the virus situation. If anything I may try to paint up a ship or two. As I mentioned above I'm very interested to see what Julian does with the models.

I am now a bit more interested than I was having seen your photos Jim and heard that they are more like playing pieces. strangely that appeals to my vision of Pirate ships and may just turn into a good fun option to play with the Kids using Sails basic rules.
I wonder?

That's certainly much better than was apparent in the video!
