Title: Royal Navy for LothHS (updated10/1/10 page 3)
Post by: Chambersofminiatures on 31 July 2010, 06:42:37 AM

Here is the first batch of painted models for the Royal Navy to give pirate scum what for. Officers and Able Seaman to follow (hopefully in the near future).

I know that these are not historically correct, but I like the look of the miniatures.

Thanks for looking

Patrick

Saw these on the "July" thread too. Very nice indeed. And as the Capt.says - f**k the button counters ;)

Good paintjob. Very "Pirates of the Caribbean"! Who makes them?

Beautifully painted figures! Thanks for sharing!

Very nice  :o :o

Those Foundry SYW really rocks. Even though they will not meet a full historical enquiry it is a most delightful setup. The idea of press-ganging other ranges into Royal Marines is appealing. What other options might there be applicable?

These are very nice!

Thanks for sharing and please let us know from which foundry range are these (especially the blunderbuss guy!)

Are they Prussian Freikorps troops? The first thing I thought ( well, second the first was "superb") was they had a Prussian look to their hair and the moustache.

They are just fine for Pirate games, where historical accuracy is way down the list.

Beautifully done and a great bit of lateral thinking to come up with using them as RM  ;D

Post by: Chambersofminiatures on 31 July 2010, 04:49:32 PM

Thanks all for the kind works.

Indeed the miniatures are from Foundry. The troopers blister says SYWP66 Von Kleists Jager and the blunder bust is from SYWP73, Frei Korps NCO and Officers, as will the next batch of miniatures to be painted.

I thought I'd buy these (don't have the original link); they're English (you can guess it because they have no mustache):

Finished the officers. Miniatures are Foundry. Able seaman to follow.

Great stuff. They look right even though they are "wrong", if you get my drift.

Love 'em. Some of Foundry's best recent figures, and your paint job does them justice in spades.

Thanks all! Great miniatures to slap some paint on. Chuck (cwchmc) and I have a game in a week or so. Got to keep up with Chuck's painted pirates. The seaman are in the final stages now.

Lovely, those officers are now destined to be my Revenue men I think for my smugglers/highwaymen. There are some nice little gems in that range like the road workers too :-*

Inspiring paintjobs.  They fit the flavor of what you're trying to do, so historicity be damned.

Again, like the Marines, they look spot-on, even though they probably aren't 100% historically accurate. A difficult trick to pull off   ;D

Possibly the best collection of "pirate-era" figures I've seen.

All you need now is a Gregory Peck lookalike to stand harrumphing on the poopdeck   ;)
