Lots of interesting painting opportunities (and challenges).

But why not give him a crutch, a hook and a parrot, then we can have all the pirate stereotypes* in one

*otherwise a spare leg so you can have the option of a peg leg or not

Its a good one and lots of potential to add other figures to create a interesting wee scene, however once again too small for my aging eyes but cant wait to see how others paint this fella.

EXCELLENT!!!

fabulous but shame not 54mm so we can add this to dioramas

Thanks Neil!

During creation of our figure, we were partly inspired by the image of Blas de Lezot, a Spanish admiral who lost his arm, leg and eye. As well as a number of famous pirates of the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, for example François Leclerc and Cornelis Jol. Among the sailors of that time, such injuries were not unusual. More likely routine. Of course it is unconditional fact that most of mariners never went to sea after receiving such trauma. But our character is not a simple sailor, more like a successful and non-poor sea wolf. With expensive clothes and weapons. Therefore, he continues his career.

Concerning non-peg leg option. We`ve discussed such idea. There were one big problem: such pose differs much if it is a non-disabled person. The position of the upper part of the leg is different. And all folds and gathers will be also different. So we denied that option.

I think, just BECAUSE the pirate contains these stereotypes he is so beautiful!
A really stand-alone figure!

I've heard of money costing an arm and a leg....but my god it's and eye as well now...I blame Brexit

Joking aside it is a lovely piece of work with tremendous detail which should inspire some imaginative painting.

nice but better in 54mm

It's not really though.

Most of us collect and create large dioramas, that includes buying ready made figures from King country. Britians and many others, and pro painted 54mm from Russia, more practical in size

Hello!
Completed the filibuster from HIMINI (HI-75-005). The Blood Diamond. This was a matter of course. The painting was done with acrylic and oil paints.

The painting really does this piece justice and brings it to life.
