A pirate boy by Crusader. Two years from lead pile to paint table!

Very nice.  He hasn't missed many meals, eh?

I love your tufts of grass, weed on the base.

Did you do that, or were they already made into small tufts like that?

Thanks. The flock is a fine turf mix I got from my local model shop. The grass tufts are by Silflor -  you just glue them on. I'm a bit late to the party on this one to be honest, as lots of people here use them. I've always tended to leave the bases bare, but I think these tufts are the way to go for me now.

That's a nice paint job, youthful complexion but something about the eyes says don't turn your back on him  8)

Not called Roger is he?  lol

Smokeyrone - I too can recommend all the Silflor stuff  :-*

Yup, a touch of silfor really finished the base off. Nice bit of painting there mate and agree his eyes are very menacing.

I like him! (We may have him around here somewhere...).  My pirate bases are basic sand - the tufts look good (and Neotacha just bought some - hurrah!).
