Title: 18th Century Naval Crew (New Stuff 18th August)

Salty Sea Dogs! 28mm metal miniatures from North Star, one of the sets designed to be used with Osprey's "On the Seven Seas" rules. I recently finished two of these sets and some other 18th Century types which will appear in a future post.
I used a bronzed flesh triad on these figures to show that they had been out in the sun for a while.

Thanks everyone for the kind words, here's some more crew members:

More of the characterful miniatures in 28mm from North Star - "Royal Navy Crew" boxed set. These were great fun to paint, and I'm sure they will give pirates a run for their money. The  "AR" on the marine's mitres puts them in the time of Queen Anne. I like the spiffy outfit of Marine Lieutenant John Wittington and his wig. Huzzah!

Very nice work. If I didn't already have 200 or so pirates, redcoats etc, I'd be getting some of these very nice miniatures  :(
Well done on the paintwork. Just right.

As an admirer of your excellent work that means a lot, thanks Captain!  :)
