gentleman pirate
the coat with tails made me think of Mr. Darcy- Mr. Darcy gone bad. Although, if any of Austens heroes were going to go the pirate route, it would more likely be Captain Wentworth from what I must admit is my favorite one of her books.
I like him without his hat on-
He can carry it under his arm.
I had to underexpose these photos so you could see the details.
I love this guy! He has been waiting to be made for a long time. There were a lot of fiddly bits to figure out which is actually what makes it fun to work on.

After 16 years at sea, he retired to New Orleans in 1842 and now runs faro games in a dockside bar. He lost his eye in a bowie-knife duel over a dancehall girl.
