I warned Rudi that upcoming posts would not be logical, or sensible. Here's some more.
A while back the local club had a go at ZPR (Zany Pirate Rules, or LotHS) I was encouraged to 'Paint something useful from the period' and here's what I came up with.
1.) So I tried for a Pirate captain in blue, and came up with a Prussian infantry officer.
2.) So then I tried for a captian in red, and ended up with something that looked like the Duke of Cumberland from that 1960's BBC documentary on the Battle of Culodden
3.) And finally, I tried to paint up one of the villanous town guard from the Burt Lancaster movie 'The Crimson Pirate' and ended up with a French officer.
Perhaps more to come later. Should I post piratical additions here, or on a new post. Still very new to all this.
