18th Century Sailors


Salty Sea Dogs! 28mm metal miniatures from North Star, one of the sets designed to be used with Osprey's "On the Seven Seas" rules. I recently finished two of these sets and some other 18th Century types which will appear in a future post.
I used a bronzed flesh triad on these figures to show that they had been out in the sun for a while. A fun thing about commissions is that I get to paint so many different kinds of figures from a variety of historical periods - always something new to learn in the process too.



I purchased and assembled a new paint rack from Ammo MiG recently. It holds 60 paints, and after some rearranging of my work space, has helped me get to my paints more efficiently - mind you I still have three plastic cases of colours which have to sit on the floor :-)

All the best,
John.
