And then there were three . . . . .

Another one finished - my first Cuchillo!

I made him taller, and changed the pose as well (I’m not a fan of duplicate models) – the second one isn’t going to be touched and will be painted “as is”.

I have to admit I am quite happy with this one, it’s nice to see my first Pirate Crew coming together after playing with them just undercoated for so long!

And then there were three . . . .

A Quick update on the Mono -

And Leathery Joe (with a "rear-view" this time) -

Buscar is around 60% done, so not long for him now. Feeling a bit timid over the Pirate Queen as I don't want to ruin her!

I once sailed with a geezer lost both his arms and part of his eye . . . .

Well, Mono is done - sorry about the quality of the Pictures, I had to take them with my Fone as Linda has lost the Camera LoL!

Then you wouldn't be here, would you? So you can't be here! Q.E.D. - you're not really here!

My Mrs was using the Camera the other day, and now we can't find it!

Pictures of Mono as soon as we do!

Ken Bonnie

Mono is finished! Pictures later after varnishing, I managed to get a good start on Buscar too!

Huzzah!

Meantime, here’s another Pirate from my collection –

Though not a Freebooters Fate Miniature, but still on “theme” LoL – he’s a Black Scorpion Body with a Cutlass weapons swap., Crooked Dice Miniatures Head (with custom sculpted beard). One of the projects I’ve been working on (bit by bit, and slowly) is a retelling of Star Wars as a Pirate Movie.

In “The Return of the Scarlet Buccaneer” Ken Bonnie is an old salty sea-dog – we first see him when he rescues Lucas Seahawk from a group of Cutthroats who are press-ganging around Plymouth. Lucas is immediately impressed by the old mans wit, charm and prowess with a blade. Even though Bonnie’s time has passed, and he knows he will never have the adventure’s he had with Lucas’ father. His last wish is that Lucas follows in his fathers footsteps, and become a Privateer in the service of the King.

Anyway – here’s “Ken Bonnie”

The Black Spot!

Could not sleep last night at all with the pain due my ear infection (which has now spread to the drum itself), but I managed to slap some more colours on my Mono and base-coat two Deckhands.

The Pirate Queens Powder Monkey

WELL - naughty little (big?) Pirate that I am I went to see the Avengers again instead of finishing the Pirate Queen LoL, but in the mean-time here is her Powder Monkey!

NOT the best Picture I know, just a quickie from the corner of my Painting table LoL!

Painting Update - Leathery Joe Finished!

After a MOUNTAIN of other Commitments I’ve finally started on my FF Pirates that I’ve had for what seems like an eternity – and with the very first Freebooter miniature I ever owned “Leather Joe” (who I call Leathery Joe) who I’m using as an alternate Pose for a Pirate Crewman in my Pirate Queen led Crew.

Not the best I’ve done (something I tend to say I know - paranoia is a killer for me) but he’ll do for now, and at least I’ve made a start. You can’t tell properly in the picture, but his right trouser leg is quartered red and white.

I actually finished painting the Pirate Queens Powder Monkey last night too, and shall hopefully finish the Pirate Queen tonight!

Painting Update - Leathery Joe

Finished Leathery Joe - pictures tomorrow hopefully, I had a small panic as I dropped him (plus I had forgotten to paint his Treasure Chest base decoration) - BUT luckily, there was ZERO DAMAGE!

Fortunately, because of the metal base inserts on Freebooter Miniatures - the bases are quite weighty, and he landed base down and was standing there (almost mocking me with his stupid grin LoL) - he landed on laminate flooring too!

Did a little work on the Pirate Queen and her Powder Monkey, so things are on course for finishing my first Crew!
