For a long time finally had a weekend off, although stuck indoors, so painted my first three mini's for my 28mm pirates project.
Artizan I think, GM, GM, not done the eyes yet... not the world's best pj's but I had great fun doing them.

Also been buggering around with boats, and how I might mount masts in them, the overpriced B&P longboat

and the well priced GoW Jolly.

I blame Manatic, he's led me astray...

Got four more finished, three Galloping Major and one Artizan, the GM really like the paint. The Artizan looks shorter because it came on a slotta, the first Artizan I've seen like this and hopefully the last. The GM have my pref.; the integral base, they're beefy lads too so they look bigger. Damn slottas to hell sir!

Did the three GM's in similar colours to the previously done officer, so together they form the basis of a regular crew, and any mini's with them will just fit in. I'll do similar for some Spaniards...

It is not only plans that go to hell when the enemy is met on the field of battle but critiques of paint jobs stop when the action gets going. Those will be fine pieces in every game they decorate. May they decorate many a game over the years.

Thanks.
Historical accuracy is ever important so I had to have a blundermonkey.

Well doesn't time fly when you've not got much time for a project?
Spanish Command from Galloping Major...

And a blurry one of a Bear's Head female pirate, haven't done the eyes yet, which I picked because it looks like my domestic goddess, although I had to add the pair of belted pistols to match her natural aggressiveness. ;)

That is some vibrant yellow! Welcome back to the fray.
May you be granted a vast amount of painting time - in a proper manner that permits the rest of life smooth sailing including the domestic goddess.

Thanks, I ended up using revell for the yellow as it's got great pigment.
Here's hoping... a year in and only a third painted...
