I really enjoyed seeing the products of your labors. Well done!
I have amassed a large number of the B&P (and many other) ships and figures. With all the pretty pictures, ships and rules, Kickstarters, etc. from the Fire lock Games folks, it is so easy to buy more and more, with little thought to the work involved in fielding the ships and figures.
The initiative to switch periods and begin the painting of the pretty pirates has been a problem. I have been painting several units of 28mm ACW that have been keeping dust off my painting table, so there is some movement i the mountain of lead. I recently ran a F&IW game at Liberty Wargames and have been asked to repeat it this month. These other figure collections take time too. I must climb on board the pirate ship and exclude the other periods to make some B&P progress.
Thank you for the inspiration to return to the B&P project!
I just primed 24 English Militia and painted the faces and pants! So, there is indeed a light (at the end of the tunnel) to reach that distant island where all the painted B&P figures will be battling it out for the gold, or whatever. Thanks for the pictures and post on your progress.
