Great figures, guess I will have to buy some as I've just acquired a sailing ship.

I originally found Galloping Major whilst looking for Apaches but somehow ended up with a table full of FIW don't know how it happened.
But I'm not complaining too much.
Never did buy those Apaches (yet)

[Galloping Major]

Black Burt - sounds like a good outcome  The aApaches await

The new crew arrived this morning, these are the best yet. Thanks Lance for the free figures, the wait was well worth it. I will hopefully get some painted up in the next couple of weeks and post them. If you have never purchased from Lance before you won't be disappointed, always exceptional service guaranteed. Thanks

Hear hear! They look cracking. Once again my painting plan goes out the window as I have to get a few of these coloured in straight away!

Nice to know theses are shipping! I imagine us across the pond will likely have them next week or so! 

[Galloping Major]

Many thanks for the kind words gents, much appreciated  

El Frantico - That's right, your pre-order should be with you in a week or so.

Cheers,
Lance

I have a couple of packs that need releasing for The Western Range that are sitting around as masters, when I get more serious sculpting time for Galloping Major, the F&IW?SYW more work on British regulars are at the top of the list along with the Compagnies Franches and others. I do plan to do gun crews etc for the 18th Century Sailors, but that will be later

All the pre-orders for the 18th Century Sailors were posted on Monday and Tuesday, so the packs and a "unit" deal are now available to order from the online shop of the website.
Here's a gentleman I painted a week or so ago, the captain figure from pack C18 NAV1: 18th Century Sailors Command and Characters, painted as I had in mind when sculpting him as a captain of the Royal Navy (British), uniformed according to the regulations of 1748 (no regulation uniform was prescribed for naval officers before that date, though many would have adopted a similar look earlier, and uniform regs for ratings were still a long way off) which remained unchanged for some decades.
 
I hope you like him  

Cheers,
Lance

[Malamute]

I like him very much, bucket loads of character

Ordered the lot of them, lovely minis!

[Captain Blood]

Oooh yes. Love the captain.
'Mr Christian! Give that man ten thousand lashes!'

Thanks Chaps, much appreciated - like the idea of Captain Bligh   someone else messaged me to say they wanted him as Captain Smollet from Treasure Island. Me. I wanted to advise him against holidaying in the Hawaiian Islands as his career progresses
