Pirates IV & Priests

A very quiet week painting wise.

I managed to almost finish the first 10 Wargames Foundry Royal Marines for my Pirates project. Still a bit of final highlighting to go but overall I'm satisfied with the results.

Next up are a group of four priests/monks

With regards to pirates I have 16 crew to tackle. I believe they are a mixture of Artizan and North star.

I'm still struggling to get decent photos using my camera but I'll persevere and maybe even master the dark art one day!!

Pirates III

Generally a quiet week painting wise v and very pirate orientated.

The Naval boarding party is almost complete. Just dip and final highlights to go:

Next up are the first Royal Marines:

Most of my remaining time has been spent putting together my DarkOps Frigate. So far I've managed the hull:

It went together remarkably easily and the online video instruction were invaluable. I've built many MDF buildings from a number of manufacturers and this is up there with the very best.
The masts have been put together but not glued so the next step is to finish and glue them them and then to commence painting the hull. I'm really very excited about this project.

Pirates!!

My first painting project to start using the before and after approach are Pirates.

The first unit is Calico Jack's Crew fromNorth Star via Bristol Independent Games (BIG):

Once these are finished I have Blackbeard's Crew and some Crusader Miniatures pirates plus Royal Marines from Foundry and British Line from AW Miniatures.

The centrepiece will be a 28mm MDF frigate from the DarkOps Dark Seas range:
