Thanks - should have known that ... but unfortunately ... didn't.

Thanks again!

Hello, Garry ...

Thank you for your review of set 4293! (Excellent photos!)

It is interesting to read so many different ideas about who this fellow might be ...:)

I guess if you want a "Pirate Admiral" figure this is it ...

He'd make a good officer in a Peninsular war setting as in Sharpe.

I agree 100% with Garry and Gordon regarding this "pirate's" appearance. IMO he'd make an awesome naval officer to lead a force of pirate hunters!

So, pirates aren't necessarily ragged brigands, patched and unshaven (though this fellow definitely appears to be patched and unshaven....)


With Sextant, Compass, Map, Caliper (Dividers) and Quill (All Navigational Tools), it is obvious (IMO) that this fine seafaring klicky is a master navigator (Sailing Master). Many navigators were often captured and pressed into pirate service from prize ships!

All the best,
Richard

Hi folks...

Sorry to push this rather old thread to the top, but playing with the pirate today, I wondered if somebody ever noticed before that on the map we see the island of MADAGASCAR...  :hmm: ???

See

So, we have to open a completely new chapter and forget about the "pirates of the carribean"-stuff...  ;)

best,
socrates

well ... we got lost a bit after a particular great feast with loads of Caribean Rum ...
That can happen to anyone, right? And we can all understand that it was way to embarrishing to be put in the movie. So, please - can you keep a lid on it?
