Top are quite large, somewhere between 1:76 & 1:72 and from the dress could be a Spanish ship, possibly one of the Heller triptych; Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria?Below them at approximately HO/1:86/87 scale are figures possibly from one of the Bounty models, the 'officer' looks very Cap'n Bligh to me! Or a Victory?
The third row look more like pilgrims? but could be from one of the pirate ship models which were in a smaller scale - 1:100?
Finally, this chap came with the row above, but a child with a peg-leg? seems a bit cruel to me! So he may be from a separate 1:120'ish sized model?
Any Naval model fans following this? Please comment...Yar Scumm-suckin' landlubberrrs!!!

I think the top figures are from the Airfix "Golden Hind", Drake's ship in 1/72.
The second group from the Airfix "Bounty" 1/87, I believe.
The third bunch are Mayflower pilgrims/crew, but I don't remember whether Airfix or Revell.
My brother and/or I had each of these when growing up.
Don't remember the one legged guy though. Thanks for the memories.

Thanks Russ, pretty much in-line with my guesswork, just leaves the bottom two, however a better photograph reveals a lack of feet leading to them possibly being from the set immediately above them, still, they do look a little smaller still?
Plastic colour is the same on all, so should be Airfix...Image updated to reflect your contribution, thanks again.
