You best start believing in ghost stories, Miss Turner . . . you're in one!

No, not really - I just used an Zenithal Undercoat on these, white over mid grey - rather than white over black, as I didn't want them too dark.

But Linda (my Partner) thought they looked like Ghost Pirates (and I thought the Barbosa qoute was a good hook for a post title).

I plan on blocking them in with thinned paints that have had extra medium added to stop pooling.

When dry, an all over Medium Brown wash (formally known as "Zombie Shader" - I favour Army Painter paints these days) - then highlight as needed.

I want them to look well-worn and grungy.

They are Pirates after all, but the Captain is only going to be "grungy around the edges" ;)
