By the way, Professor, did you see this junk kit?:


While with its 1/60 scale it is on the small side it is not always noticable. A plastic kit is also often easy convert where there are obvious scale problems as in portholes, doors etc...

Prof,

I would go with your choice of the guy on the left. The old man is nice, but seems a little too old to be sailing the high seas. The guy on the right looks to be more of a regular sort of guy than a captain. And after seeing PotC AWE last night (Finally!) I would stick with the guy on the left.

Look forward to seeing them painted...

another possible miniature, a Foundry imperial chinese from the Jingall crew. Could be a captain or a quartermaster. What do you think?



hammershield, thanks for link, but i think it would be too small  :(

I think, you're right, Tim, the Brigade one looks just more respectable :)

and the next bunch, now I think I have enough regulars for this "black" gang, the captain, quartermaster, mates will follow. The rest of the Foundry minis will painted more colourfull, as alternate gang

Very nice!

I see some in there that could work for Wuxia type stuff too. May have to start looking at some of these more closely.

Yup, the chap resting his sword on his shoulder has stepped straight from the 'Martial Arts World'.

(He looks like Dugu Wudi, searching for the Bastard Swordsman)  8)

Prof., have you painted some of the Pulp Figures Chinese?  I think that there are about 5 packs of Pulp Figures that would work as Chinese pirates, three packs armed with swords and various other weapons, one pack armed with muskets, and the "axe gang" pack.  Some of the other individual Pulp Figures could also be useful.
Sailors have more fun!

yes, I have the packs and I was going to take them in consideration but they're too different, the sculpting style and the scale, the Foundry ones are more chunkier. Maybe I will use them for the alternate more-colour-crew

Nicely done with the red for the officers. I particularly like the freehand on the quartermaster's jacket.

Red, black, and white, painted well. Three colors I am incapable of painting. This is why I love this site.

Prof,

You killing me man! nice work again, heck I just based up a few Old Glory Pirates of the month I have been sitting on for a while last night. Didn't have time to paint, and here you go kicking out figures we talked about yesterday being done today. To quote a movie I recently watched,

Alex, Your the Man!
