Sorry, for this next one you have to search the site.  The boat is called  "luxury two masted ketch sail boat"

Thanks Acadia :biggrin:

Actually, the best pirate-style ship around is the Seatraveler. It is a .3ds model but imports fully textured and very detailed into Poser. Also, the Medusa by Faveral at Daz is also nice and was on sale recently. They are the tall sail ships of the 1700s and 1800s. You could turn them into a fairy boat by changeing materials and scaling it down. There is also a free leafboat in freestuff here, I think.

Seatraveler is here in RMP http://market.renderosity.com/mod/bcs/index.php?ViewProduct=33480 for $22.00 US worth every penny IMHO.

Helmut Schaub has some nice fantasy ships at his Web site:

They are a bit odd - a sailing ship that also has a balloon attached, and one that has wheels as well as sails.  But they look really nice.  And you can probably turns parts off if you want to.

Just to point out that the latest version of Seatraveler comes in both .3ds & .obj versions (in the same download).  Also, it's scaled for Poser figures, so imports into Poser BIG!

Thanks for the help; drifterlee, randym77, and ian_colette !!

Try a search on Content Paradise for ship.

Yeah - I noticed the Nina and Pinta at VP :thumbupboth: shweet

I was looking for sailing ships without guns - those and the San Juan are perfect!!

Thanks everyone for your help... come on pay day

Look for the P4 Galleon at CP.  It used to be $1.99.

Bear in mind that the Nina and Pinta are not designed to be viewed from close.   I saw those at CP and did think of recommending them, after seeing this thread, for not having guns, but I didn't know what you needed the ship models for.   They do look excellent models, but ones best viewed from a distance, as intended.  

It's not fashionable to admire Columbus, these days, but how did he get across the Atlantic in those things?   I suppose Vasco da Gama had already rounded what is now South Africa, in some of the world's deadliest seas, in pretty similar craft.

I am not inviting the re-cycling of credulous tripe about how the Chinese supposedly circumnavigated the globe, while somehow failing to leave the slightest trace of their supposed achievement.

The San Juan seems to be ready for close-up shots and the cannons can be made invisible. I could probably use Faveral's Medusa... and the Sea Traveller...use them for close up deck shots.

There's also this ship at Cornucopia3d  the Black Sun

Has a fantasy look to it.

Here is another I just happened to see in the MP here:

The San Juan at CP is for 3D Max. Make sure it's the right format before you buy.  Poser can use .3ds  but not  .max  or whatever the newer extension is.

Thanks Acadia.

The San Juan at VanishingPoint's site comes in Poser and 3dMax

and description says "Note: this model was originally designed for long-distance shots. However, the textures should look fine when viewed close-up."

The Sea Traveller has an awesome interior but I wish Kaol would offer it in broken up sections as separate props because the whole thing is like 300,000 polys. Same with Fav's awesome ships.
