I warned Rudi that upcoming posts would not be logical, or sensible. Here's some more.
A while back the local club had a go at ZPR (Zany Pirate Rules, or LotHS) I was encouraged to 'Paint something useful from the period' and here's what I came up with.
1.) So I tried for a Pirate captain in blue, and came up with a Prussian infantry officer.

2.) So then I tried for a captian in red, and ended up with something that looked like the Duke of Cumberland from that 1960's BBC documentary on the Battle of Culodden

3.) And finally, I tried to paint up one of the villanous town guard from the Burt Lancaster movie 'The Crimson Pirate' and ended up with a French officer.

Perhaps more to come later. Should I post piratical additions here, or on a new post. Still very new to all this.

They would be great in my syw armies ;). Nice Paintjob!

Nice figures. Are they from Foundry's SYW range?
-
Interesting concept.
Great paint!
Adding a bit more dash to the period, eh?
-
They are in fact from the Foundry SYW range. At least I think so. I bought them years ago as individual figures, back when they were 'Guernsey Foundry.' Before they were merged with Wargames Foundry. The early figures were, I think, designed as opposition to the Foundry Cossacks. So they were mostly second string Prussian types, Friekorps, etc. Now I believe that the SYW line really is a full line of SYW figures.
Oh, here's a photo of some musketeers, which aren't really pirates either.
