Top 10 Pirates of the Spanish Main (cigarette card images)

themodelcitizen · Gunner Posts: 865 **14671 Gold** -

This replaces pictures for 8 of the top 10 pirates with their likenesses from Allen & Ginter's iconic Pirates of the Spanish Main cigarette card series from 1888.

Jean LaFitte wasn't in the set and remains untouched.

NOT compatible with Europe or the East Indies (yet) except for Captain Kidd's folder.

If you're using the Famous Lady Pirates mod, delete the Blackbeard/L'Ollonnais folders in the Cigarette Cards pack, and paste these files into your Lady Pirates mod folder instead: add-on (add-on requires Famous Lady Pirates mod)

REF: Jean LaFitte wasn't in the set and remains untouched.

for Jean Lafitte
a couple of suggestions

The Buccaneer (1958 film) - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Buccaneer_(1958_film)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yul_Brynner

starring Yul Brynner as Jean Lafitte
(with hair,
Yul started I think sporting the shaved head look after the
movie version of the King and I)

A google search on say
yul brynner jean lafitte

should include some image results
(copyright status maybe an issue)

alternatively

Jean Lafitte
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Lafitte

has a Laffite portrait
Anonymous portrait of Jean Lafitte, early 19th century,

Another set with famous movie versions of the top 10 pirates is a great idea. Maybe Errol Flynn as Captain Blood replacing the user's icon. We can start a new thread for that with more suggestions (in Pirate's History or Customization/Modding maybe).

If anything I was thinking of replacing Jean LaFitte wholesale with someone like Sam Bellamy, it's just a bit more extensive of a replacement job in that case. Then the artwork would look consistent across the board.

Rackham looks like Hooks first mate

Rackham does not look intimidating at all. Oh well, it's like a wily old experienced pirate who knows all the tricks

Rackham didnâ€™t get a married woman to run off with him looking like Mr. Smee. He would have to go to SE Asia and throw money around to find something decent.

Doesn't that depend on

married woman's husband, obviously not capable
otherwise why go elsewhere?

Rackham not being pussy whipped,
Anne Bonney probably wore the pants in that relationship

-------------------------------

Mr. Smee Vs Captain Hook
Bob Hoskins Vs Dustin Hoffman aka Tootsie

No Contest - Bob Hoskins is not a tinkerbell

My understanding was her husband and parents were not poor but rather an established respected well to do family. Now if your saying her husband might had ED well in that case I donâ€™t know but going from a place like hers with a pirate sounds more like rebellion than any other thing. She was a naughty girl.

Bump. This one has some good numbers on Nexus mods as well, nice and easy Caribbean mod so people who don't want to dip their toes into the wider world of map modding seem to like it
