Dutch privateer crew + finished ship
« on: June 08, 2008, 01:46:58 PM »
Hi there!
I've been lurking on this board for quite a while now and what i saw did help a lot to keep me on track while painting some privateers. Now I registered to show you some pics in return!


Captain Hendrik van de Slampen, Doctor Boerhaave, Jan Cux


Deck Hands Maart & Jaffar


Deck Hands Piet & Claas


The whole crew, I hope you like them... :)

They are all top class - especially love the Captain.  :-*

He is a nice choice of miniature for a non pirate Captain.

I assume they are for LotHS? Are any of them to be Mercenaries (maybe Maart & Jaffar)?

Not another very talented painter on the forum!

What chance have the rest of us got  :'(

Welcome! I really like the colours you've picked and the flesh tones are really well done  :)

Now you almost made me drop the project I'm working at to get back to pirates  :)

Did you use a towel or some kind of rug for the water? Seems to work well, maybe one could soak a piece of that fabric with thinned white glue (or maybe blue paint?), let it dry, and then paint/highlight the 'waves'....

Thank's for your kind words  :)

Only Jaffar is a Mercenary, all the others are Mariners. There are 2 more Mercs (with blunderbuss) on the painting table before the crew is finished.

Actually, you're right! I did use a towel, but thats only for the pics. I plan to build a quartered 4x4 table and the pictured island will be part of it. The sea will be made of clear silicone over blue painted foam.  ;)
