This guy has quite a lot of character! I like his gun!

I saw the green of this guy a while ago. Indeed he's full of character and would be very fitting for a diorama.

[supervike]

Yes...this would like good next to the other Freebooter Pirate I have!!

[Spacemunkie]

Great face, shame about the pose - I'd rather he was a little more upright so you could see his face more clearly. Still cool though. Good gun:D

[Malebolgia]

Wow...love the nose and rediculously big gun (BFG!). The cackatoo is a nice touch too.

I'm not very fond of this one, too cartoony, doesn't make me think of Werner's sculpts at all, looks amaturish compaired to his other work.

Also don't know if Stephanie painted this one, but it doens't look painted up to the normal standard of freebooter releases

That's a good thing in my opinion! I like it when artists of all sorts work outside their 'normal area', so to speak. Things become a bit predictable otherwise. I don't think the sculpt looks amateurish at all. The painting is not top notch, though (painted by Franz Sander), but I still think it enhances the character of the sculpt. I like the blue lips, for instance.

Nice for a group, to add flavor as everyone has said.
I don't care for the ridiculously large nose, but that's just my style. I prefer realistic proportioned humans and this guy looks like he's out of a comic book.
The gun I don't think is ridiculously big. Considering the kentucky rifle could be six feet long, and most early European guns were basically smaller, thinner cannon, I think something like this could easily have existed.

[EricJ]

by amaturish, I didn't mean style. And I can't tell if this is the sculpt or the paint, or both, but the details of the model don't look as sharp or clean as i'm used to seeing from him.

[Ritual]

I think it's less striking, than his usual sculpts. It's is a ragged, hunched old pirate instead of a stylish young female with a perky pose. The painting enhances the ragged look of the mini, but I think the sculpting seems to be of Werner's usual quality. I'll probably get this some time and I can tell you for sure then, Eric! :tongue2:

[EricJ]

perhaps I just miss stylish young perky females :(

Can't blame you! Those are always nice! :vb_tongue
