Royal Naval Landing Party - 26 July: Boaty McBoatfaces... :) (Page 17)

[Captain Blood]

Which of the crew is next in the queue?

Senior officers, midshipmen, Royal Marine command, and about another half a dozen tars with muskets and cutlasses. Should take me to almost 60 men 

[Malamute]

Wicked Kewl.

You would never know they have thee converted. Splendid work.

[Captain Blood]

Thanks 

You would never know they have thee converted.

Nick, have you turned into a quaker or something?

Nick, have you turned into a quaker or something?

No, he's just having 'trouble' spelling today...

It's the effing spell checker on myiPad and iPhone. It's giving me a headache today

[Eric the Shed]

WOW !

 

wowwow

 

I FEEL LIKE ANOTHER PIRATE GAME SHOULD BE PLAYED VERY SOON...

[Mason]

Senior officers, midshipmen, Royal Marine command, and about another half a dozen tars with muskets and cutlasses. Should take me to almost 60 men 

Aha!

The magic number for conquering Mexico.
 

Looking forward to thee painting them.
 

[Captain Blood]

And so, after a considerable pause in revictualling and pressing new men aboard HMS Dolphin, a few more hands are added to the complement.
Not least 'Unlucky Jack' Spoons - master and commander of the plucky Dolphin, aided and abetted by his favourite Midshipmen, plus a few more tars...

The Captain and his lads are from the Brigade Games Napoleonic range; the other three are Royal Navy Maori Wars era sailors from Empress - all sculpted by Mr Hicks, and amongst his best I reckon. I've fiddled the tars' hats with some Green Stuff to give them a more battered, less regular appearance.

My landing party now stands at 48 officers, men and marines, plus three guns.
I have at least another half dozen figures prepped to add to this company, hopefully, in time to meet the Mexicans with British guts, shot and steel, in about three weeks time   

Is it enough, Nick? Is it enough? 

[Dr Mathias]

Impressive as always, great characters all.

[rumacara]

Damn.
You already surpassed me in quantity.
I only have 38 painted.
Well done.
Keep them coming.

[rokurota]

Amazing work!

[gamer Mac]

Lovely

[TheWeasel]

Phenomenal Work! I particularly like your use of various shades of white that really add a sense of materiality to the clothes and equipment. You can tell what's leather, what's cotton/linen, and what's wool. I am soundly impressed, and hope my navy figures turn out somewhere even remotely close to this good!

[edited for spelling. Was a bit excited when typing...]

[OSHIROmodels]

Shiny shiny but there's not enough 

cheers
