Great job with the sail plan on the sloop! I like the Artizan pirates, too. I need to pick up them some time.

That Flagship Games Sloop is a nice model. It looks like there is plenty of room on the deck for figures to stand. :)

I have the Dixon miniatures sloop which is lovely but sadly no longer available  :)

FG - can you tell me what kind of brush you use to drybrush?  The effect on the sloop is very nice!

thanks  :)
@Malamute:  ah... you lucky devil!  I saw a picture of that sloop online years ago.  Its beautiful.  Shame its no longer available  :cry:

@Dom:  Actually, a lot of the work was done with spray paints.  I sprayed it black, the sprayed it dark brown, then light brown.  Then I went over it with the dry brush.  It was just a cheap big hog bristle brush.  You know the cheap made in china ones?

Superb  :love: I wasn't too sure about the Artizan pirates when I saw them in the bare metal, now I'm convinced.

Thanks!

Yup, the artizan pirates are really lovely, full of character.  I got shit loads of foundry pirates as well.  Bought way more than I need 2 christmas ago.... Got some eureka and dixon ones too.  I'll never finish painting my pirates...
