When they said they were Swedes, I just assumed they lived in Norfolk. :)
Em dezembro de '81
Botou os ingleses na roda
3 a 0 no Liverpool
Ficou marcado na história
E no Rio não tem outro igual
Só o Flamengo é campeão mundial
E agora seu povo
Pede o mundo de novo

I love how this whole thing is coming together, Hammers! :)

And remind me to order some of those windows you bought for the boat. You got any good pictures of them next to a miniature? I'm an arse when it comes to those mumbojumbo letters.

I just finished ten more indians.

Tupi archers



Botocudo archers



...and just for the fun of it, the full Arumbaya Indian Confederacy...



These are all the Indians I plan to use in the  game. Phew... fun to paint but glad I am done.

Great skin tones, and the colors of the feathers work wonderfully. Impressive stuff- it's nice to see the project coming together. I'm nearing completion on a two-year endeavor myself and I can finally see the light at the tunnel's end :)

Thanks, people!

I am impatiently awaiting the moment when I can take a group photograph of  all the vessels. They already look pretty good together where they stand in the window but I have to brace myself since there are  a few more things to do before the whole armada is ready.

Lovely Tupi. I have a load of unpainted Eureka ones. Every time I pick up my brush to paint them it's like facing off against fifty odd, slightly smaller versions of my mother in-law.   :D

If you want to lose some of them, I'd be happy to take them off your hands. I understand they are smaller than the Copplestone ones but I'd be fun to paint a few.
