Bought this from there (I’m not the maker at all) and painted it for my pirate girl crew.

Modified with some weapons and a base from Firelock Games.
Tired to make this burly dude look more like a major, if brutish, villain.
First metal miniature I’ve painted.
This is the female pirate from the WizKids Pirate set you can get on Amazon and WizKids own website (https://shop.wizkids.com/products/w-pirates) … albeit with her hands and sword switched out for a cutlass hand and pistol hand from Firelock Games Sailor Sprue. Painted her first with my acrylic markers, than gave her a wash with Vallejo and highlighted her afterwards.
I’ve gotten addicted to the hobby side of Blood and Plunder, and taking a Brig and making it the Sloop-Of-War for wargaming/RPG play/hobby fun felt like a solid follow-up idea. I also wanted to practice/perfect a few things more to my personal taste with the model that either already happened on my Bermuda Sloop, or that were inspired by it.
First, I had used embroidery cord from Michael’s for the rigging on my sloop, and I still think it looks better than the related cord that comes with the model, so I repeated that here. However, this time I got my “lazy man’s netting” technique for the rat lines to look better - I still just used super glue and laid the cord on top instead of tying knots, but this time they all look a little neater.
Second, I liked the figurehead from the Bermuda Sloop, and was mildly annoyed there isn’t one included for all the B&P models… and I spotted a cheaper Medusa mini at my local gaming shop, and knew that the Furies of Greek mythology are basically Goth Medusas with wings, so I just stuck her on the prow and added some wings with green stuff.
Lastly, I liked the foam board sails I used on the Bermuda Sloop, but I wanted to do a different color and process this time, and the Blood and Pigment blogs led me to their affiliate, the Dead Man’s Chest Blog, with the “sewn together” paper sails. I really like the way they look. I also handmade a fighting top for it.
