18th Century Jack Tar
« on: November 22, 2012, 06:32:55 PM »
I haven't added this one to my usual thread, as I thought it may not be exclusively of interest to devotees of the French & Indian War or those tempted to be so  :)



Although there were no uniforms for ratings in the period, sailors did dress fairly distinctively, this one's wearing "slops" instead of breeches, a short jacket and a smallish tricorn, he's armed with a pistol and cutlass.

I've not done any packs of sailors (yet ;) ), but I couldn't resist adding those lovely Ainsty sailing vessels to our online shop, every ship ordered from us will have one of these new "Soldiers Free" chaps with it  :)

Brilliant and potentially useful in very diverse settings: could be part of the (un?)fortunate crew discovering a mysterious (Skull?) Island / Lost Continent, for instance.

I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it anymore and what is it seems weird and scary.

I will look forward to these guys coming out too. Have lots of pirates, but could use some more navy sailors.
