Though he commands an English (British) 18th-century frigate, his picture (  :eh?: ) was taken ashore... ;D

he looks cool!  but, no shoulder epaulets or collar?  There is a way to add the cape even if you already have a collar, fyi.  You can force/bend it on, and/or cut the part of the cape that fits around the neck a little bigger so that a collar and/or epaulets can fit underneath it.  That's what i did with my redcoats leader.

but he still looks good the way he is :)
Ahoy, Pirates, Hoist the Colours!

The legs are new since August (from the Redcoat-private in set 5139 English Fortress)...sofar I've only 2 pairs of these.
The chest is the same as the one from the 3740-white schooner captain, but comes from a pirate in a German Pirates' Island exclusive set from a few years ago.

I do have some stock of klicky-parts just for making customs. Sometimes I order a klicky in several numbers from DS just for use of specific parts. Other times I find the parts "in quantity" on ebay, or I get them through other collectors/customizers.

Might very well be. S? H?  ;D

I decided not to use a soldier's collar on him, nor officer's epaulettes. (I did do so on some other English officers with the same torso, somewhere in a thread from a few months back)
The epaulettes are more suitable for the 19th-century I think. Often there aren't many ways to do without them for making officers, but this time I thought just a cape would look fine.
