fantastic job  ;D
Dans les situations critiques, quand on parle avec un calibre bien en pogne, personne ne conteste plus. Y'a des statistiques là-dessus.

Merci Lou  :)

Now here is the assembled force so far - 30 strong, including last week's LPL entry (unsuccessful, so no extra rum ration for them!)

Having acquired 10 rather nice little Newline Designs British Napoleonic ship's gunners at Salute yesterday, that means I have another 30 to paint in total  :)



Just to prove I don't just paint the fronts for the LPL...  ;)



Here's what 30 jolly tars storming ashore look like...

I love seeing your entries trickle in, each superb- then a massed group shot as a cherry on top.

I have just purchased those Brigade Games sailors and after seeing your paint jobs on the same minis I am thinking of melting them down and turning them into a sinker for fishing  :) Wow - your stuff is just stunning. Every one a work of art. That is seriously some of the best Napoleonic era painting I have ever seen on a 28mm miniature.

Thanks chaps  :)

Hmm, enough for a game there me thinks. :D

Well, 30 more to go. That'll give me 60:
- 10 officers, midshipmen, sailing master and ship's doctor
- 25 assorted jack tars belike, arrr.
- 15 Royal Marines
- 10 gun crew

I figure you must have about 200 Mexicans by now. So 60 salty English sea dogs should make for a fair fight ;)
