A Damaged Pirate army

 

            A small Pirate collection....I guess you could make an Army from it. Its playable. Its chipped, half painted, badly painted. Well there are 3 colors, so tabletop quality. I paid 75 with shipping for 37. All B&P minis, both metal and resin and plastics. The value is in the metals. I wanted only the African/Islander/Native types out of it. The rest I will touch up and sell off as a units.

The Bad

The Ugly

            The need at least 4 hours of work to bring them up to desirable. With only 3 metals and the rest plastic, a shaded and cleaned up unit of 8 should get me a quick 30. 

            I have already started. A foundry 66B glaze was splashed all over the coats and pants of the regular infantry dudes. I know I will have to repaint the red and whites. I think I will do the belts white in the end.

The Cherries

            I bought them on the road going to the cruise. They were waiting for me at home. I started on the road this week. These 15 is what I wanted. Its a 50/50 mix of the African and Native minis made by B&P. 

            The goal is to build up a group of Sambu, Zambos, Miskito. The names are all interchangeable, I think or it appears that way. They may have ended up culturally different by the 1800s. In the time of Morgan they were little settlements in the bush of escaped slaves, natives, and spanish/european blood along the misquistoe coast. Some sources say the Miskito were a tribe of natives. 

            All the skin was repainted with Foundry African skin with a glaze of terracotta "B". I touched up the white, but left it rather dirty looking. 

            Atlantic sabbot 25mm bases were attached. I do not like the 20mm B&P bases. B&P did 20mm bases so a correct number of individuals would fit on the ships. There is no ship to ship action in my pirate world. It was not that frequent and I have no interest.

            AP strong tone dip. The Dip protects against the abuse minis take in Cons and hosted events. Repainting and fixing chips become a full time job after a Con. The Dip prevents all this.

            There are 3 not here that need to be completely repainted.

            In keeping with the idea of tracking spending.
