Another wave of piratey goodness.....

Another 3 figures finished. I am becoming a painting machine like my good mate Tony Yates... almost... one Foundry, one Tercio Creativo and one Tale of War...

Tale of War 060003 Sloot Gunner... now oop...although they crop up on eBay and a lot of internet shops every so often... these are very large sculpts but then people do come in all shapes and sizes... comparison pics further below....

Tercio Creativo 'Nicolas Lopez' available here. 

This is a resin piece - you may notice some crackling on the cloak.....I think this is the matt coat reacting to the gloss... I gloss varnished him over a week ago so this is quite a worrying trend... possibly the change in weather as we move to the darkness of Winter...

One of the many Will Hannah (where are now Will?) sculpts for Wargames Foundry - available here. One of the best pirate ranges out there. Do tell them I sent you please...

4 out the 120 or so Foundry Pirates I have... these are the only ones that I've actually painted....the lead mountain is large....

Stand next to a WWF wrestler and this size differential is not so uncommon... at least that is my excuse anyway......

  

An earlier Tale of War 'Captain Hook' from their 'Tale Revision' range.. on closer inspection I think I should revisit the eyes on both but... well, that isn't going to happen... eBay tends to be your best bet if you want to find these minis nowadays.

Ron & Bones - a pictorial viewpoint.....

As many are aware I am a miniature collector, not a gamer. I love the whole thought of gaming but my D&D buddies went off to university back in the 70's leaving me to plod on alone...I had a few attempts in the early 80's but it was always lead that got my muse. Pirates are a topic that seems to whet everyone's appetite from time to time and I thought it would be nice to have all the miniatures from the now out of production Ron & Bones series pictured in one place...so that is what I have done......

The 2 below were included in the starter set.....

The busts..........

Very much a card game apparently....

Expansion decks..........

Tale of War Miniatures were responsible for the game and the miniatures however Cool Mini or Not are taking up the reigns with Rum & Bones...a website under construction here and the Facebook page here.
