... Opinions welcome!  :) ...

This era and naval history are not my expertese. I was wondering though - have you checked the books from Osprey on this subject?

If you do that, make sure you also change the neck piece of the first lieutenant to something a little less formal.  ;)

Yes, If I do I'll use this neckscarf:

Thanks  :)

No, the "Golden Hind" is the ship of Sir Francis Drake, who was in the 16th century (ca. 1580, during England's "Golden Age") in service of Queen Eilisabeth, and who raided the Spanish (gold)fleets.
These guys belong to the 18th-century ships "HMS Surprise", "HMS Renown", "HMS Revenge, "HMS Defiant", ...  ;D

I realize now, these ships were real ships. ;) Gonna check your thread about the HMS then.

to clarify, these represent navymen situated before 1707?  (my limited knowledge only covers mid to later 18th cent and part of early 19th.)

No, these are rather for the 2nd half of the 18th century, but I might use some of them for settings of the period 1700-1750 (as the big era of pirates ended  in the 1st half of the 18th century. The classic pirates that is, not the modern Somalia-ones...  ;D )

Excedllent curtoms, Erwin, and even if they are not exactly correct historically (and I'm not saying they are inaccurate), they look right (although I'm not sure about the moustaches - the rule in the Royal Navy is clean shaven or a full beard and moustache, but when this came in I don't know).

No, I didn't, but maybe I should.
I just use my memory... (because I've seen many movies and series about the era, not because I remember a previous life back then  ;D )

I am the last one who says you should; but you might  ;) I must admit that I find them fascinating reading too  ;)

Cheerio,
