This Challenge has been an excellent impetus towards me getting paint on some of those odder single miniatures that have been floating about for years. For example, this Reaper pirate who is covered in little details. I like the little story the miniature tells with the monkey lifting up his eyepatch. You can't quite make out the "RUM" label on the bottle- also, can you find the cork?
I was a bit intimidated by having to sculpt the decking out of green stuff, but it wasn't too hard at all. I used a Renedra 30mm base.
This nicely suits the nautical theme at Reidy's Reef.
28mm pirate + monkey ~7 points
Reidy's Reef 30 points
From DaveD - cracking job there Barks thats a fine job. I can almost hear him singing!
Excellent work Barks. I can almost smell his breath and yes I found the cork but I'm not telling.

DeleteCracking work Barks! I recall painting the very same figure a few Challenges ago :)
ReplyDeleteI thought so! I did have a quick search but couldn't find it. I remember when you posted it because I had this chap sitting about.
