The first figures for my Pirates game are finally finished ...
« on: 03 December 2008, 03:11:19 PM »

Indeed they are no pirates but they are nice opponents for them ...  ;)

First there is the gouverneur and his wife:




(Do not ask me why the gouverneur does not have any pupils ... the figure has one on each eye but the photos not ...  ???)

Then there is their bodyguard armed with a gun that does not fit very well in the age of piracy but anyway I like him very much ...



And finally there is the judge or notary of the gouverneur looking very grim  ;)
(this figure is still on the wooden post which I use for painting because the last layer of varnish is still missing)



I hope you like them ...

I do like them, very much... :) excellent, they are very nice sculpts and seem to capture the mood of the times quite well.

Many thanks to all of you :D :D :D

@ Plynkes: The gun is a shotgun with two barrels ... I do not know if they had such a thing during the age of piracy? But if they had then everything is fine ...  ;)
