Welcome to the Pikes, Muskets and Flouncy Shirts Painting Club!
Well, the 10th season of the Lead Painters’ League has just ended, and you know, The Prof and his merry band of moderators like to keep you all entertained, painting and posting stuff…
And since tomorrow is the 398th anniversary of the Second Defenestration of Prague (the spark for the Thirty Years War in 1618), what better day to launch - drum roll, pipes and hautboys – the Pikes, Muskets and Flouncy Shirts Painting Club! (Or the 'PMPC' for short).
The idea of the painting clubs is for LAF members to populate a club with 100 newly painted miniatures, one miniature at a time, following the theme in question.
It’s an informal, collaborative project.
The scope for this painting club includes the ‘historical’ wargaming period known as ‘Renaissance’ or ‘Pike and Musket’ – for instance, Italian Wars, early Tudor, Conquistadors, Wars of Religion, Elizabethan, ECW, TYW, and the later C17th. It also includes the genre of cinematic swashbuckling adventures – the Three Musketeers, pirates, smugglers, highwaymen, Jacobite rebellions (the ’15 and the ’45), and the French and Indian War.
Note that regimented warfare of the C18th belongs in ‘The Age of The Big Battalions’, not here. But it’s a fine distinction, so we won’t be too picky.
(Basically, if it’s a miniature from an era when they wore ruffles, it should be okay).
Edit: Note also please, that submitted miniatures should represent historical (or broadly historical) types from the period, genres and settings described above. Fantasy / sci-fi miniatures with a 'swashbuckling' vibe are not eligible. So no orc pirates, outer space buccaneers, landsknecht-styled ogres, or new romantic vampire revenant elves please! :)
There are some simple rules:
- Any LAF member can take part.
- You take part by posting in this thread, a picture of a single newly painted miniature that fits the theme.
- You can only post one entry within a 24-hour period.
- You can contribute as many miniatures as you like while the painting club is running. But you can’t post more than one per day.
- The subject of your picture must be a single, fully painted and based miniature.
- It can be whatever scale you like up to 40mm.
- It can be a figure on foot, a mounted figure, or a piece of equipment – a cannon, for instance.
- You can picture your miniature on its own, or in a scenic setting.
- The picture can be a single shot of the miniature, or a composite of different views.
- Photoshop manipulation of the image (except for colour / brightness / contrast correction) isn’t allowed.
- Your picture should be a maximum size of 1000px x 1000px
- The miniature should be newly-painted for the club and not have been previously shown here or elsewhere on the internet.
If participants submit old stuff, that submission will be disqualified and removed.
If you submit more than one miniature in any one day, or multiple miniatures within a picture, that submission will be disqualified and removed.
You can upload the image using the LAF attachment function, or upload it to an image hosting service and link to here.
When you post a picture, please check the number of the entry before yours, and then number your entry accordingly. So, if for instance, the last entry was entry #037, your entry becomes #038.
Please give your picture/figure a title or name and state the manufacturer and / or sculptor if known.
The club will stay open until 100 contributions have been posted. Then the club is complete.
When you post a picture, you become a member of the club and may add this handsome painting club badge - designed by Westfalia Chris - to your forum signature line:
(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/25/577_22_05_16_8_14_13.png)
It's a crossed cutlass and flintlock pistol on a golden doubloon - har harr! Perfect.
To add the badge to your profile, please use this code:
http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/25/140_11_05_16_8_27_19.png
Go to the profile tab, then select ‘Forum profile information’. Paste the link into the ‘Signature’ field, click ‘Change profile’, and that will add a 50px image of the painting club badge to your displayed signature line.
Let the game commence.
En garde!

Lovely work Lt Hazel. Emil's TYW miniatures designed by Paul are wonderful.
-
Thanks Helen, the Horcata Range is splendid indeed! Your Roundhead looks good too! I think we will see some eye candy in this club...
-
Superb opening entries into the club. My entry won't be anything like as fabulous as these first four figures. However, I've got a pile of pirates and F&IW that need painting so I'm starting this morning. Hopefully, I'll get at least one finished in time.
-
Wow :-*
I can see that Emil's wonderful Horcata miniatures by the incomparable Mr Hicks are going to be popular here! Lovely work Alex and Jan.
And Helen, that's a fine-looking stout Parliamentary gentleman. Well done.
So we're exclusively in the C17th so far...
Who will be first to venture backwards or forwards in time to the C16th or C18th, I wonder? :)
-
Not me ;D
I've got a project to do lol
Splendid entries everyone :)
cheers
James

Well I will volunteer C18th, but I'm currently on holiday ;D

Great entries.

Thanks guys for your kind words. First miniature of this genre I've painted, but not the last.

Lovely work, Helen and Jan, well done both! :-*

#10 - Captain Stede Bonnet – ‘The Gentleman Pirate’
I think this is a Foundry miniature but I can’t see it on their website. Although you can’t see much of it, Captain Bonnet is definitely wearing a very flouncy shirt!

Great!
Yes, that is indeed one of Will Hannah's 'Cutthroats' range for Foundry :)
-
Wonderfull entries! I think I have a Landsknecht somewhere in my Lead Pile, may be it is time to paint him.
-
Love that Bicorne figure Mr Bibbly. I had a look at Horcata after seeing one here, a few of them should transfer over to ECW without too much fuss.
-
Cheers Steve :)
A bit early for this one I'm afraid as I won't be able to post later on.

I think, truthfully, that is a fantasy / sci-fi miniature with some sort of power pistols, rather than actual C18th black powder flintlocks! But since you've gone to the trouble, we'll let it stand :)
However, I am going to amend the rules to make clear that this club is for historical type miniatures :)
That is a great rendition of Blackadder, Steve :-*
-
Blimey!
This Painting Club is certainly filling up with some fine eye candy very quickly.
Nice work, people.

Admiral - that horse :o
Yes. Amazing. Admiral Benbow and Captain Blood do some of the best horses I've ever seen.
-
Ah yes, Michael, I've painted him. Lovely figure. The head swap for a Perry horse head is a massive improvement. I love Nick Collier's C17th figures. But his horse heads are terrible, especially the TAG ones... Lovely work Admiral.
James, do you by any chance have an entire regiment of greencoats you're waiting to post one by one? ;) lol
I'd better pull my finger out! ;)
-
Lots and lots of lovely miniatures and painting :-*
I've dug a figure out but at the rate minis are being added I'm not sure he'll be ready in time! We shall see :)

Great stuff! I think I have some pirates somewhere, hmm...

Thanks James,to be honest my painting style doesn't really lend itself to being photographed,especially at this resolution lol.They look OK on the table though.
I'm using my Android pad to take these snaps and still not really got the hang of it .

Thanks James,to be honest my painting style doesn't really lend itself to being photographed,especially at this resolution lol.
Nobody's does.
When you first take a photo of a figure is when you first realise that you're not as a good a painter as you thought you were. The camera is very unkind, and doesn't spare our feelings. It sees everything more clearly than looking through bare eyes, and that can be a bit harsh. I have been through this myself. Initially it put me off painting and posting, but in the end it just made me determined to get better at it.
Anyhow, that's beside the point, I think he looks fine. This club is coming along nicely (and at an alarming pace). :)

#30 - Anne Bonny - a renowned female Caribbean pirate.
A lovely Foundry miniature from the Cutthroats range.
In October 1720, [Calico Jack] Rackham and his crew were attacked by a "King's ship", a sloop captained by Jonathan Barnet under a commission from Nicholas Lawes, Governor of Jamaica. Most of Rackham's pirates put up little resistance as many of them were too drunk to fight. However, [Mary] Read and [Anne] Bonny fought fiercely and managed to hold off Barnet's troops for a short time. Rackham and his crew were taken to Jamaica, where they were convicted and sentenced by Governor Lawes to be hanged. According to Johnson, Bonny's last words to the imprisoned Rackham were: "Had you fought like a man, you need not have been hang'd like a dog."
After being sentenced, Read and Bonny both "pleaded their bellies": asking for mercy because they were pregnant. In accordance with English common law, both women received a temporary stay of execution until they gave birth. (Source – Wikipedia)
(http://i1352.photobucket.com/albums/q645/Mad_Lord_Snapcase/Misc/Painting%20Club%20Anne%20Bonny_zpsfbkyzttw.jpg) (http://s1352.photobucket.com/user/Mad_Lord_Snapcase/media/Misc/Painting%20Club%20Anne%20Bonny_zpsfbkyzttw.jpg.html)
I think Anne liked her drink so I had to give her rosy red cheeks and a big red conk! lol Enjoying all the entries so far, great painting by everybody.

You have an impressive medal ribbon of LAF painting clubs there, Mad Lord Snapcase! (Is that the full set?)
Looks like Anne has been marooned.
Quite a different looking girl from the Anne Bonny in Black Sails ;)
Very nice Eureka conquistador there, Keith :)
And next...
#031 Crisis 2012 miniature by Paul Hicks for the Tin Soldiers of Antwerp.
(Thanks Johan and WillieB!)
The figure represents Peter Minuit, a Walloon from Wesel - then in the Duchy of Cleves, now part of Germany.
Mynheer ‘Midnight’ served the Dutch West India Company as Director of the New Netherlands in North America, and reputedly bought Manhattan Island from the Canarsee Indians for 60 Guilders (US$24) in 1626.
(Seyseys, chief of the Canarsees, was only too happy to accept valuable merchandise for an island that was actually mostly controlled by a different tribe, the Weckquaesgeeks).

No, I missed the Ancients Painting Club and also the Medieval Painting Order. I wonder if anyone has entered a miniature in every club?
Looks like Anne has been marooned
Probably been dumped by Calico Jack on a desert island somewhere! ;) She'll be alright as long as they left some grog behind for her! She prefers a liquid diet!
I love Peter Minuit, superb painting. Is that the receipt for Manhattan Island he's holding in his hand?

You appear to be missing Pulp, Michael... Did you jusr forget to add the badge, or will we have to re-run the club? :)
(You've done a great deal better than I have at any rate!)
Oh my, you're right Richard, I missed the Pulp club! How could that happen? Maybe I couldn't find a proper figure to paint ...
Anyway, here's another one for this club:
#36 Cardinal Richelieu. Warlord Games. Sculptor?
I like his great facial expression ...

Great skeleton effect on the horse!

More goodies. Dr Syn - straight out of the movie. :) Richelieu - hadn't seen the figure before and now I need one...
(I also wonder who the sculptor is? I have their "Infamy" Roman Emperor and the face is not only sculpted brilliantly, it does actually look like Kenneth Williams. Would not be surprised if both figures are done by the same hand.)

I think it is an old Citadel model: Leonardo di Miraglio
-
Interesting figure Steve63.
Do you happen to know the manufacturer or anything about it?
Argonor is correct it's an oldie but goodie from GW
It was originally released in 1992 as part of the volley gun crew and named as "Leonardo the engineer"
http://www.solegends.com/citcat1992/cat1992p353empartillery-02.htm
Around 2001 when GW repackaged the Dogs of War range he was re named "Leonardo di Miraglio", but I don't think the figure was repackaged or sold singularly.
The figure it's self is by Michael Perry and based on a self portrait by Leonardo da Vinci
https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=leonardo+da+vinci&biw=1280&bih=907&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwimnv-r0oLNAhXMFsAKHZkFAnsQ_AUIBigB#tbm=isch&q=leonardo+da+vinci+self+portrait
It still turns up regularly on Ebay either singularly or as part of the crew of the 1992 volley gun

#57 Catholic League Ensign c.1632 (Warlord Games miniature, flag by FlagsofWar)
My entry is an officer fighting for the Catholic-Imperialists during the thirty years war. The flag, one of the many still unassembled I have (though I want more Bavarian ones, pls pls pls Iain.....) ;), was chosen for the jesuit symbol, an iconic icon used for the fight against protestantism and curiously enough restoration work started on the 17th century jesuit convent in Valletta a few days ago, so it was a sort of inspiration.
The ensign has just started marching - his boots are too bright, I guess after a few hundred metres they'll be mud-splattered! lol
-
He must be really strong, holding the standard like that lol
-
I'm really impressed by the painting on these Horcata Miniatures, not my period but still impressive.
-
He must be really strong, holding the standard like that lol
lol That's true enough.....it's difficult to hold the flag like that, though not impossible. Well, he must have bulging muscles beneath that slashed doublet!
-
Looking through my TYW book, flags were carried like that, flag bearers were expected to drill and be both strong and dexterous.
-

I sincerely doubt that anyone would be able to keep a fairly heavy thing like a standard in that position for more than a few moments.
Try standing with your arm stretched out in front of you with just a tiny thing in your palm. You'll tire very fast.

I think we are talking past each other. It is the pose as such, which suggests he is marching forward with the standard held aloft in one outstreched arm, not the way he grabs the pole, I have my doubts about.
He may well be waving it about to signal an advance or something like it, though.
Now, let's get some minis painted!

Thanks Keith. :)
I am in the middle of converting/painting the rest of his gang. I have about a dozen figures so far including another four mounted ones who include Hellspite and Curlew (who appeared with the Scarecrow in the Disney TV production). Having read the original book(there are nine separate stories in total)there is alot of potential for this and it should be a really fun game when these are finished and on the table.
I am going to open separate thread in due course with more details of the project inc some WIPs of the conversions and other figures planned.

Lovely work Nick
But now you are just showing off, 4 figures in 1 year :o

Yes, but you do know Dr Syn is set on the flat, windswept Kent and Sussex Rother Levels, not in hilly, picturesque, clifftop Dorset right? So that'll require a whole new set of scenery... :D
Very nice job, Nicholas.

#60 - ‘Duke’ Jacob – Roger’s Rangers
A superb miniature from the Galloping Major.
It isn’t really a cunning plan to insert my rather average painting of a 28mm figure after the good Captain has shown his genius on a 10mm figure!!! But anyway, it’s not a competition and someone has to go next. :'(
I have around 100 F&IW miniatures awaiting painting, this is my first completed one! So this club is at least an inspiration to get me started.

#062 Pirate by Foundry

Here is my entry. No. 63
It´s a long and sad story behind this miniature.
I bought it years ago. It had to live a rough life downstairs in the basement between all those old cardboard boxes filled with miniatures. When you guys brought up this new painting club I remembered this Foundry miniature immediately.
What a good opportunity to dress him properly in paint and spoil him with a fine matt varnish. I painted so quickly with joy while listening to a Stephen King audio book and he could have made it into the top ten of first painted minis.
But the Mighty Camera God who cursed me with a poor photographing talent had other plans.
The same plans that do not allow me to compete with others on the LPL or to share any battle reports with you, because the picture quality is so poor :-[ The same God who blessed you all with plenty and me with none.... Halleluja...
Anyway... If you take a magnifying glass you can see how skillful this little fencer is painted but I can not share all his beauty with you because although I shot zillions of pictures on white paper, infront a forrest, infront a house, with light, with headlights, no light the results were always poor. And after a hard weeks work I decided to put on this one because thats the best I can effort.... Iam so sorry....but I hope you show mercy cuz I want this beautiful little badge so much.
So here he is one of Lord Hawkmoore`s Gentlemen Adventurer.

#067 Imperialist Ensign c.1632 - Warlord Games figure, flag by Flags of War
Another ensign in the controversial flag holding position lol I used a flag with opposing colours from the previous entry.

We are two thirds of the way through the club... 33 berths remaining :)

No. 68 Dr. Livsey, a Wargames Foundry figure.

Anybody know how you go about adding the club icon to the signature, mine is too long?

I combine all the badges (I use GIMP, but any photoshopping tool would do) into one picture, host it somewhere (I use my gallery here on LAF) and add the URL of the picture to my signature. Otherwise I would not be able to fly all those badges I have greedily been collecting lol ;)

(If the pic isn't up to snuff I can take another)
-
Thank you very much. Very kind of you.
You really have no reason for being nervous, very nice work on a lovely figure :)
Seconded, a great introduction to your work. ;D
Nothing to be nervous about. One of my favourite figures from one of my favourite miniatures ranges. And you've done a good job with him.

Malamute, I was looking at these sets by Eureka the other day. 'Fighting 15s' sell these in the UK and that figure appears in several sets in different poses (one with a gouty foot!).

Brilliant reverend! Quite what the parishioners thought the day he turned up chained to that harlot in her bathing costume is anyone's guess.
-
Pardon? ;)
I have 2 or 3 sets of these in my storage collection, so your pic is inspirational.

Thank you Helen!

And thank all the rest of you chaps for your kind remarks.
As I said I got this one ages ago, vaguely planning to put him in a 18-century fairytale conflict à la Susan Clarke. On one side I would like t have Oberon with a retinue of satyrs, centaurs, witches, highwaymen and hedge wizards and other creatures of a more choleric disposition. On the other there would be Titania with fairie nobles, dragoons, unicorns, farmers, and gentlewomen and others of sanguine humors.
Well, see if that ever happen

#78 Slasher Lewis Foundry

Some great minis the last week, too. 8)
I may have to look into the Foundry range for future additions to my collection (but do have almost a Lead Mountain's worth of pirate era minis from Black Cat among others to paint at some point....)

Ooh, like him. The style reminds me of the stop-motion episodes of the Welsh/Russian Shakespeare Animated tales TV programme. He looks like he's stepped straight out of one of those.

#083 A Warlord musketeer from my KPW Militia taking a moment to ponder
-
Hey! I can still make it!!! I returned from taking a group of middle school students to Greece on Monday, fully expecting this club to be finished. I had started a figure, but couldn't get him done before departure. Now, I will redouble my efforts to be one of the final 17 before the club closes...
And that is indeed an amazing standard! In fact, the entries for this club have been top notch...

Seems to be running out of steam this painting club, so c'mon, get some toys painted, don't make me post another picture. ;)
-
I can't. I'm on holiday until next month :(
Keep posting though as they are great :)
cheers
James

I have a 54mm musketeer on the painting table for this but I'm also trying to finish deployment points for the Sharp Practice competition, finish my Old West figures and start an ACW force for Sharp Practice (possibly with the Army Painter challenge in mind). I haven't painted in months now I'm trying to cram it all in at the same time! That's the great thing about these painting leagues though, they help get you past that initial painters block. They are a brilliant idea.
-

But alas, Steve...
There are some simple rules:
- It can be whatever scale you like up to 40mm.

Oops, forgot about that. Oh well it saves me some time lol

Personally, I'm glad the rate of new figures has slowed because it gives plenty of forum members the chance to enter if they want to. In the "early days" it looked like it would be filled very quickly.
That said, I'm working on my second entry which should be ready early next week. ::)

Lovely painting, great figure.
Pointy officers are generally called Rupert and are usually to be found saying "You, that man there, stand up straight!". ;)
-
I think I've painted him too. Either that or he's in the pile... A very characterful Front Rank figure, and an unusual choice in which to paint him Phil. Looks great.
-
I suspect officers of the period did a great deal of finger pointing!
Lovely figure. :)
-
How else would the plebs know where to go with out the pointing officer
Lovely figure

# 90 Renaissance Nobleman
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v509/orctrader/General/Noble800.jpg)
Only now as I post the picture does it occur to me that the pistol-carrying pet monkey might breach the rules – Single figure.
It’s a Victoria Lamb miniature and Nobleman and Monkey are together. I’ll leave it to moderators to decide but if it’s disallowed I will graciously accept the ruling. :)
-

Funnily enough I did know an officer from the Royal Engineers called Rupert but I never particularly noticed him pointing.

Sometimes they just point a man out to the Sergeant-Major and say "Take his name, Sar'nt Major!" lol

I hope they allow your entry, it's superb!

Oh you can definitely keep the monkey, Malcolm.
I LOVE the monkey. Brilliant. Gorgeous - even if technically in contravention of the letter of the law... But that's monkeys for you... ;)
15mm Mad Doc? Superb. What a great little character and wonderfully painted :-*
A pair of beauties, gentlemen. And we do indeed seem to be accelerating towards the end 8)

Who can argue with the monkey when he's toting a gun? Lovely figure; the colour scheme shouldn't work but it does.

Beautiful, Mark.
You didn't paint the eyes, and you numbered him #3 lol
(Fear not, I've corrected it, and I never paint eyes either. Waste of time and nearly always looks wrong ;))

In fairness he has no eyes so he couldn't tell it said "#3". I often paint eyes and more often than not they have a look of surprise mixed with the face I suspect colonic irrigation provides.

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/25/7499_21_06_16_10_55_37.jpg)
A 28mm Eureka Miniature that's been converted to mount the Bodhrán drummer on a nag. I wasn't going to jump into the club, but I painted some ECW Montrose Irish on the weekend... and there's no way I can wait until the weekend (it's Winter Solstice today) to take natural light photos (though he might need another coat of matt varnish). There's been some lovely painting in this club.

Gentlemen I humbly submit number 100.

No pike, musket or flouncy shirt, but very much in theme. Nicely done.

A perfect way to round off the club, thank you.
That's 100 entries. The club is now completed and closed for new entries. The thread will remain open for admiring comments, but any further entries posted here will be deleted.
There is, of course, nothing to stop you posting pictures of your newly painted miniatures in a thread of your very own :)
Thanks to all who took part. Please make sure you add the painting club medal to your forum signature line, to show off your flouncy-shirted credentials 8)
The next painting club has been agreed by the forum moderation team, and will be announced and launched shortly for your enjoyment and participation.

This has been another great success for the LAF i think. It's been very enjoyable checking the thread for the next entry. There has been a nice range of figures and painting styles. I look forward to the next one. Thank you.

Congratulations to all participants.
Lovelly painting in all and i can only learn with the best. :)
