Speeddodad looks a little like a speedomom :lol: :lol: ;)

No commenta on the picture what so ever, i guess there were two man per canon.

you mean compared to the pirate with painted pecs?

I still love the pirate with the pecs painted on him.
me too...I've been hoping  Geobra will make one but I dont know if they ever will....I hope to make more of him and insert 1 in each of my shelves that will accept naked torsos

i guess there were two man per canon.
OMG! look at this cover...lets wait for our experts...these guns are so simple...I wonder if the artist was correct...I cant imagine what duties except maybe they might need extra men for pushing and retracting the guns for each round....and no pot-bellied fighting men those days?

thanks for your kind comments Conniefrere!

ok ok I got it guys :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
you know, I've been using them so long (like the other blond sailor) that I dont associate that hair with female klickies anymore....again pardon my really innocent question; I thought french men did tie their hair this way during that period?

Yeah, it made me do a double-take, too, thinking it looked like a female! It probably is accurate, though.

Might work better with a guy that has a beard, mustache or stubbles to prevent confusion, unless you are going for an effeminate man. Speedodad would need to be a nobleman with a powdered wig of the same era then though, but they wouldnt walk around bare chested.  ;)

cheng:
I think that speedodad/speedomom is so cute here...the hair matches the freckles!
And this is the first time I noticed that saggy does indeed have a big gut!
Your striped shirts are lovely, and the nick scarves are a nice touch.
Congratulations again!  :cracker: :cracker: :cracker:

Another weonderful creation, cheng;  thank you for coming them coming.   :wave:

Six to a gun seems fine as regards handling it and loading, but I think there would also have been a gun captain.  There would also have been powder monkeys serving the guns - young boys who would bring up fresh supplies of gunpowder from the ship's magazine to the gun crews.

As for long hair, again that's OK.  Ironically, the long haired wigs worn by the rich were coverring their bald heads, shaved so they could wear the wigs.
