The Pirate Captain is a Foundry metal, while the crewman is another Old Glory.
I've started my Scotland Yard Company and am working on the Constables. They are armed with Electro-Truncheons or some such. Surely a shock to any incorrigible rogues they should encounter.
Of note is the bases I've mounted them on are the ones I used the Basius molds for.
One thing I am beginning to notice is that the dip &/or matte spray seems to create an odd sheen on certain paint colours. This seems to be the case with the Midnight Blue I've used on their uniforms, however when viewed with the eye, they do not show this effect.
It's nice to be getting started on them & as well I can take a bit of a breather working on my Pirates, as there are still a great many to do.
Thanks for reading
Love these! pirates and Victorian policemen. A fine choice in subject.
ReplyDeleteThanks kindly, I do tend to be all over the place. Be sure to keep watch for the Mayday photos of the Pirates game.
DeleteGreat eye on the pirate captain colours. What is truly shocking is the size of that copper's beard!

Thanks Dan, your right, the Foundry Pirates are top notch. I have several of the Black Scorpion ones coming down the pipe as well.
