More men for the Royal Navy

[Hadoque]

Hello 

With the new parts (kneetrousers, wigs, etc.) available from the updated pirates theme, I'm further re-working my English (if you situated them before 1707) or British Navy officers and seamen...

I've already shown a captain and some ensigns, but meanwhile the captain got clones and there are now other officers as well. 

Btw:
I've checked about "ensign" (the rank, not the flag) and it turns out the Royal Navy did not use this ranktitle, though the navies of the US and New Zealand did/do.
The according rank in the RN should be sub-lieutenant or 2nd lieutenant, a rank just above midshipman (lowest officer rank).

The klickies I called "ensigns" in my earlier thread have now become "midshipmen", while I'm now using torsos from the lower-rank officer from the 3740/3055 white shooner as "2nd lieutenants" (= ensigns in US Navy).

Enough talk, here are the pics 

First ones:

* A "commodore" or "Fleet Admiral" (= an admiral in charge of a fleet of ships, but not as high-ranked as a Rear-Admiral or Admiral of the Fleet)
* Captains

Lower rank officers:

* 1 lieutenant
* 3 2nd-lieutenants
* 4 midshipmen

[Hadoque]

And to conclude for this time, some "more common" sailors;
2 cannoneers

I like this royal navy!  Especially the commodore, he looks like a real gentleman.
Are these the ones who belong on the "Golden Hind"?

[Hadoque]

Thanks 

Are these the ones who belong on the "Golden Hind"?

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", ...

Excellent officers Hadoque!!! Really fit and ready for duty!!

[Hadoque]

Just thought about the following:
The lieutenant's uniform is closer to that of the lowest-rank midshipman I used, then to the one of the 2nd lieutenant.
So maybe I should give the 2nd-lieutenants the hats of the (1st) lieutenants, and change the (1st) lieutenants (only 1 shown in the pic) into 2nd lieutentants with a non-feathered tricorne.... Opinions welcome!

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

very awesome !!!! i love them all! 

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

Truly not my expertise, but I really like these custom figures, Hadoque !
