North Star have put up a picture of a "marine" for their forthcoming pirate group. While this is very welcome, as pirate ranges never have government troops, does anyone know about the curious hat he is wearing… Never seen such a thing! link |

Not completely unlike the marine grenadier mitre at link |

This is North Star's representation of the early 1700s British Marine uniform which, I think, may have been worn until the SYW/FIW period. Nice looking figures with great "Marine" scowls.  Jim |

Oh, dammit! I am just starting this period and do NOT need any fancy shmancy distractions from the core project! |

They're based on the Villiers' (later, Luttrell's) Marines from the early 1700s: link link |
