As always they look great.

If I should make one minor nag. The crewmen could use a bit of a dirtying up. I know from personal experience that operating such guns is very dirty work. You end up with soot everywhere.

Not in Captainbloodiverse, they don't!

If the flags are hand painted, I'll say that's some talent!  :o

The rest of the figures and scenic shots look lovely too.

Thanks. They're printed from Pete's Flags. I've just touched them up a bit here and there  :)

Ah Frede, you Danes are so serious ;)
I like 'em Hollywood! (Peder knows lol)

Bit gamey though having so many guns  lol

Well you know me...  ;)

Great stuff!

I've got the same Old Glory organ gun, like you I replaced the solid wheels with spoked ones, but I chopped the dragon-heads off completely.

I'd considered getting the Old Glory 'culverins', but thought they were quite a bit smaller than the Perry ones. Your pic shows they aren't really, and are actually very nicely detailed. I might pick them up next time I'm at a show.

But then who made those two really tiny ones, the green and brown ones?

It's a bit like Tiger syndrome - wargamers having more of a thing than was totally fielded in history... ;)

But splendid painting all round. With this and those Italian wars threads right now, I can hear my Grunwald/Tannenberg Polish calling for reinforcements...

Cracking work,your blues are amazing (have to start calling you Richard the Regulator,am I being obscure...). I always desaturate my blues,just not confident enough, the colour blindness doesn't help either.

Thanks chaps. Quite a lot more to come on this  :)

But then who made those two really tiny ones, the green and brown ones?

They’re from Wargames Foundry, Charlie. They’re generic small primitive cannon. I got one with the Eldorado Adventurers gun crew (late C15th, so broadly the right era) and one with the Sea Dogs gun crew - 100 years later, but I don’t think they’re particularly historically accurate :)
