Thank you! Though I wouldn’t bother with that because I’m doing the same thing haha. I’m trying to figure out a solution that will get me the images without downloading every picture one by one. Eventually I hope to have a database similar to the one at MT up on my site here.

  Of course, I wanted to stick around even if Miniature Trading does not.
  When I get some time I am going to start collection the images of all the Pirates miniatures from MT, I can pass them your way when I have them all (maybe organized as well).

  @Fred Ota: Indeed! That is a great point about how your imagination can take you places where the movies don’t! It’s certainly been true in my huge games, which are always a fun adventure.
  
  Thanks for your comment!
