William Brand Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 I just came across this while looking for something else... http://www.nativeworkshop.com/flintlocks.htm
Captain Midnight Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Dang! If the rest of that flintlock looks anything like what's in the little pic you posted, that is one beautiful weapon! "Now then, me bullies! Would you rather do the gallows dance, and hang in chains 'til the crows pluck your eyes from your rotten skulls? Or would you feel the roll of a stout ship beneath your feet again?" ---Captain William Kidd--- (1945)
Captain Midnight Posted January 9, 2008 Posted January 9, 2008 Yep, I just perused the site and man! Does he have some pretty stuff! The firearms are beautiful, as are the powder horns, and I really like the cutlass listed under the swords... "Now then, me bullies! Would you rather do the gallows dance, and hang in chains 'til the crows pluck your eyes from your rotten skulls? Or would you feel the roll of a stout ship beneath your feet again?" ---Captain William Kidd--- (1945)
Captain Midnight Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 Here's a pic of the cutlass. I don't know what he based it off of, if anything, but it is certainly very pretty, and seemingly of period style. "Now then, me bullies! Would you rather do the gallows dance, and hang in chains 'til the crows pluck your eyes from your rotten skulls? Or would you feel the roll of a stout ship beneath your feet again?" ---Captain William Kidd--- (1945)
Quartermaster James Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 This has got me totally inspired to mod a QA myself. Any of you muzzeloaders got ideas about what he used on the steel? Gun brown? Gun blue?
Quartermaster James Posted February 27, 2008 Posted February 27, 2008 Aw...come on...someone must have some idea? I'm thinking the fowler looks like DGW Instant Brown (reddish) but the QA has me confused. Blued, then steel wooled?

Colors of the Sea Nymph "Let's drink a Damn to the Halter, lads, and them that lives to wear it"--Bartholomew Roberts "You are a devilish conscience rascal, I am a free prince, and I have as much authority to make war on the whole world, as he who has a hundred sail of ships at sea, and an army of 100,000 men in the field; and this my conscience tells me: but there is no arguing with such snivelling puppies, who allow superiors to kick them about deck at pleasure."--Sam Bellamy
Quartermaster James Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Eye! I give the man full props for the craftsmanship; even wrote him and told him so. That said, there is still a process to the craft.
