The Vicious Pirate Bust 1/10th - Cipri Miniatures Productions

Just saw this pirate bust announced on Facebook and although it looks geared more towards to fantasy side of things I think this one will paint up very well!

Definitely leans towards the fantasy but none the worse for that
The cormorant makes a welcome change from a parrot or monkey.
Going to be great fun painting this.

Just checked the site and it's 12 Pounds shipping to the UK.

Also the Spanish VAT isn't deducted at the checkout for a UK sale, when really it should be post-Brexit.

A fantastic character bust (by Latorre no less), but for a grand total of 56 Chuck Windsors PLUS the possibility of being hit for import duty and a "handling" fee, I'm really having to think about how badly I want it.

I sure the company would ship to the US if you get in contact with them. I not sure if they have a US distributor.

Nicely sculpted, but the bird has an eagle/raptor beak, not a cormorant's which is much thinner than that that with a less pronounced hook at the tip. I know, I know, rivet, er beak counting. And you can always go full fantasy in painting it.

I really wouldn't worry about the beak thing. Basically it's an exaggerated (but very good, and to the point of caricature) fantasy piece. I very much doubt that any actual pirates looked like that either.

Nice piece, definitely fantasy.
bit pricey though.
