I need a 5 1/2' flintlock

I need a 5 1/2" flint lock, not just the lock, but the whole rifle. I'm building a 1760 doll house not arming mice. I realise this is a bit strange, but if anybody knows where to get one you guys will.

This one is 4-1/2 inches long. I really like the 1-1/2" x 1-1/8" cased brace of pistols above it.

Did GI Joe ever have a "Minuteman" version that might pop up on eBay?

Just don't try to take it on an airplane, unless you want your mugshot to be on the evening news.

GI Joe 'Minuteman'???
Yes, I have seen them up for auction. Complete with flintlock gun. Also you can gt one here... Michigan Toy Soldier Co.

Oh WOW! What a site! Boy, a fellow'd go blind painting these miniatures - but they are just incredible.

I have a friend that does wargaming and he travels all around the world with suitcases full of these 3/4" tall armies from historical battles. Spends countless hours painting the details on each and every one of them. I can just imagine one of the cats hopping up and capsizing the Spanish Armada or the puppy chewing the CSS Hunley in two.

Not bad!

Except for their "Enfield" being a Mauser K-98 and the "Jet Liner" being an F-4 Phantom. Much better looking than most miniatures.

Stumpy Isn't that ship a whaleback from the great lakes long ago? Rocky /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

According to the site it is the USS Keokuk. An ironclad.

It do bear a resemblance.

Kudos for even knowing what a whaleback was! The lower image is the Meteor. Last one in existence (only 44 ever built) and a museum display now. The Sagamore sits on the bottom near Sault St. Marie. She was rammed - the other ship master claiming she sat so low in the water as to be 'practically invisible." A good, seaworthy design otherwise, but too slow to load and unload for modern conveyor & 'steamshovel' equipped stevedores.

Stumpkiller - I spend most of the summer fishing the St Marys River below the Soo. Love to watch the Iron Boats.Thanks for the pictures. I read in the paper that China's need for raw meteral will demand more ships in the Great Lakes. Rocky /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
