...said the girl from Rotterdam.
Inspired by the Professor's "An African per day" project I am contemplating to commit to the same to get those deckhand wastrels out of the cafés and cathouses in Port Montplombe.
I have not decided when to start but here's a preview: the tramp steamer crew marker:
(http://www.adventuregaming.tsome.com/Sailors/Sailors/sailor_marker_with_ships_cat_Jeppe.jpg)(http://www.adventuregaming.tsome.com/Sailors/Sailors/Jeppe.jpg)
The ship's cat "Jeppe" on a pile of cargo. The lifebuoy will get some lettering once I have baptized my steamer. Byt the way: is there a nickname for lifebouys in english? In Sweden they are called "Saviours wreath"
-
A cracking way to start the log book Hammershield, a lovely little marker if I do say so
-
Great little marker. I like that rifle, too.
They used to call the ring buoys "lifesavers" which is how the candy got the name. Captain Pope, of the Caribbean Fleet, refers to them as "Type Four Ring Buoys" because that is what God calls them in the holy USCG manual.
-
Very nice., Like the cat too :)
-
In the US they are usually called life preservers instead of life buoys.
About the time of WWII they picked up the name "Mae Wests" after the buxom actress.
-
This will be a great project to watch! I like the marker. Who makes it? Or did you throw it together from bits? Lovely piece.
-
Is a Mae West not the cork over jacket that the guys wore which made them look like they were buxom? In the UK that is a life jacket.
and the rings are called life belts here?
-
I think Mae West was the nickname given to the yellow/beige inflatable life jacket worn by air crews during WWII.
Pull toggle for instant celebrity. :oops:
-
That is a great marker!

What a start! Nordic creativity 8)

For someone who once claimed to be painting basecoats with his thumb and fine details with his pinky, you sure seem to have perfected the art :P

Next up: Shovelin' Bill the stoker with a tommygun
(http://www.adventuregaming.tsome.com/Sailors/Sailors/ShovelinBill.jpg)
Shovelin' Bill is a Jamaican, springing from a village in the Blue Mountains and is said to be of Maroon stock. He's real home is since many years the tawdrier bars which lines the seven seas where he, the sentimental soul that he is, only drinks rum. He is a unlicensed deck hand but as he is brawny and an uncomplaining worker he finds ready employ in the wearier tasks onboard the steamers which takes him to the next watering hole.
I have tried to add things on the bases of my sailors which indicates which roles they have onboard. The coals are grained piees of cork, the coal shovel is custom made from brass sheet and wire.
-
Cool, nice backstory too.
-
Lovely as ever.
I'm wondering about your philosophy for basing miniatures. Between these sailors and the other figures you've displayed lately, I get the impression you base all your figures for their respective "home" surroundings. It certainly looks nicer than the generic "this could be anywhere" look most people (including me) go for. But during a game, doesn't it ever bother you to have a figure's base be in stark contrast to the surroundings? Or do you just not use the figures for other settings than their own? Eg. only using the asylum figures on your asylum gameboard, and only using the sailors in a shipboard or dockside game?
-
These are excellent, keep em coming :mrgreen:
-
Nice new additon, I love the shovel. Looking forward to more. :)
-

...

First you have to ask yourself how many games your miniatures will actually see. :-)
I often have a scenario in mind, but I compromize. The Orderlies of the Asylum are definitely made for a indoors setting. There are simply few other scenarios for them to be in.
I also keep in mind that bases are probably the easiest things to redo on a mini should you want them for somthing else.
The sailors are based OK, in my mind, on deck, on a the docksside or a muddy beach.
Most of all I think a good looking base makes up for a lot of "out of place".

I don't think it's really possible to create a base that will work under all gaming conditions, unless you grind off any integral base and then pin your figure to a base made from some transparent material such as perspex or thick acetate. Look at GW's penchant for edging their older fantasy bases in that horrible Goblin Green! Personally, I like a base that reflects the character of the figure. Then, again, I generally don't use miniatures for gaming! :o
I like the figures, though. Nice job!
-
That shirt looks suspiciously clean for a stoker, but it is a cracking paint job and wonderful base!

A very good point! I generally don't "weather" (mud, dust, blood, sweat, dirt, soot) but I think I'd like to readdress that aspect with this mini. thanks for the input!
-
Awesome work! Do you have a ship for them?
-
Yes. The plasticard riveters are hard at work over at Dewey, Flotum & Howe.
Due to rampant union strikes, the unconvincing methods of the local constabulary and a lack of qualified scab labour she's not progressed beyond this state:

Jeez-o-man, that is looking good. Get it done and post some pics!

Really cool Hammershield!!! Keep them coming :D

This is a really nice project Hammershield. Can't wait to see more.. and especially the ship when it's all finished!

Today: Chief Engineer Jormas with a tommygun
(http://www.adventuregaming.tsome.com/Sailors/Sailors/Chief_Jormas_with_Tommygun.jpg)
Cheif Jormas is a latvian and had his training in the Imperial Russian Navy, Baltic Fleet. During the Russo-Japanese war he, as a young engineer cadet, was dispatched on the battleship Orel to reinforce the Pacific Fleet at Port Arthur. He thus ended up seeing the disaster of Tsushima Straits but survived. On the return to St. Petersburg he was comissioned as engineering officer but the the effects of what has later become known as battle trauma had made him unsuitable becuase of his erratic and violent temper. After throwing a sailor in the furnace of a boiler he was discharged. He has been working as an over qualified Chief enginner in the various baltic merchant marine steamers since then (for as long as they can suffer his tempers). His delight in machines is reflected in his choice of weapon; he puts his Thompson to frequent use but keeps it in perfect condition.
The oil can is custom made from brass tube and wire.
-
Beautiful, if you're allowed to use such a word when describing a sailor.
And that ship is very impressive Hammershield. Excellent job.
-
Can you tell me manufacturer of the miniatures?
-
Certainly. They are all from Brigade in the US.
http://www.brigadegames.com
This one is from the Carriebean Empires range, others are from the Ends of Earth range.
-
Very nice again. It just gets better and better each time, I really like the extra detail :)
-
That oil can is ace. Even if I could muster the talent to make stuf like that, I would never have the imagination to think of it in the first place!
Keep it coming, you're doing a great job.

Nice minis. Like the look of the ship too. Are your ship plans on paper or in your head? 8)

Hi Peder,
Love your work 8)

A philosophical question. The anser could be "in my a$$", given the number of mistakes I've done with it.
But not to bandy words: it is a 1:100 paper model xeroxed to 1:50. The parts have been cut out and glued to plasticard of various thickness.

The salty dog of the day: Boomin' Donnan, able seaman
(http://www.adventuregaming.tsome.com/Sailors/Sailors/Boomin_Donnan-with_Lee_Enfield.jpg)
Donnan Penycuick springs from the Outer Hebrids where his family has been making their living as wreckers for generations. Young Dunnan added to the family craft by working on the expansion of West Highland railway as a dynamitar. He put his skills to use breaking up hulls with explosives, thus making wreck pieces manageable and cargo goods accesible.
These days Donnan is a refugee from his beloved islands. The Penycuicks were accused by a local merchant master of leading ships onto the reefs on purpose by lighting fires on the beaches in bad weather. The night after this the master and his tramper was blown to smithereens as he visited the head. Initially this was explained by the local constbulary as a result of trapped methane gas and a lit cigarette but further investigation by Glasgow Police detectives pointed to the Penycuicks, specifically Donnan. Rather than facing enquires he went to sea never to be heard of again.

Very cool project hammershield!
I think I have to get this minis too.
And in times were everybody is hiding his painted minis and is waiting for the second season of the lead painter league I am realy thankful that you share this pictures with us.
keep on, stay busy!
Michael
-
Hammershield, are you going to do all the detail bits yourself, or add some detail parts from ship hobby makers? Reviresco has some great detail pieces such as steel doors, portholes, a winch, boat davits, ships wheel, ventilators, etc., if you can work your way past all the ships guns Reviresco sells...
http://www.tin-soldier.com/cgi-bin/ustorekeeper.pl
-
No, not all the details. The ventilator funnels are to tricky to make so I will order them and a few other things like winches. I am not very keen on the Reviresco, there are much better sources.

I may skip they LPL this time. Can't keep up with the deadlines with a baby arround. I liked the first round but to be honest I prefer to show my stuff at my own pace. This is my hobby, so I want it to be a relaxing endevor
-
Nicely painted again. 8)
-
These are really inspirational. Keep them coming!
I have all these Brigade merchant crew and riverboat crew minis in my lead mountain (they're just behind the cavemen in the queue).
But it's now going to be extremely tough trying to make them anywhere near as good as yours - damn you! :wink:
-
(http://www.adventuregaming.tsome.com/Sailors/Sailors/Borje_with_Makarov_revolver.jpg)
Next in line: Börje Börjesson, able seaman, of Västervik, Sweden, with his Makarov revolver.
I just got back from a dinner party so I can't be bothered about doing a write up about him.
-
Hot damn! How do you achieve those lovely whites?
-
Well, I finally think I am able to ay I've got the hang of painting a passable white, thankyouformentioningit. I wish I could say the same for black.
I believe I painted a knit pattern on this mini which can't be seen due to over exposure. I use Reaper "Oiled Lether" as a base, then Reaper "Ivory", then thinned down Reaper "White Leather" then thinned Vallejo white. I used a pinpoint dab of Vallejo Air Burnt Umbre (different shade from the Vallejo burnt Umbre) in the depest recesses.
-
They are so lovely Peder 8)
I just spent my day with my friend Drew completing my second painting lesson. I'll have pics up hopefully tomorrow.
Thanks again for showing your lovely figurines.
Cheers

Bases are always the trickiest thing to do right. For example, if you game solely in the Sudan you can do all your bases deserty yellow, but otherwise it's virtually impossible to do bases that fit every scenario. Pulp gaming needs many different backgrounds - anything from arctic to jungle via urban settings, so unless you do multiple variants of each figure with appropriate bases [ :o :? :lol: ] you have to compromse. Even the Mighty Malamute, with all his modelling & painting expertise, hasn't been able to overcome this conundrum :wink:
Your ideas for using them on ships, docks, beaches etc should work very well and even if they should venture upriver into the bush dragging their anchors and oil drums behind them - who cares?
-

Thank you. Maybe I should add in their character blurbs "and he will never be seen without his beloved 200 litre oil barrel, not on the docks nor the savanna". (Do the character blurbs work, BTW? To wordy? Just annoying?)
Anyway, todays images: Purser Jack. On popular request I sexed the setting up a bit with some gravel, sand and a dingy.
(http://www.adventuregaming.tsome.com/Sailors/Sailors/Purser_Jack_w_Tommygun.jpg)
Purser Jack calls New Orleans his home town and he worked throughout his youth as a house boy and butler with a prominent Louisiana gent. After his master lost his familly fortune on cards aboard a riverboat and subsequently shot himself, Jack was left with not a pot to urinate in. Using his impressions from riverboats, which he had seen plenty of with his former master, he managed to get hired on a atlantic steamer as a stweard's assistant. Changing ships a few times he quickly rose to the rank of purser, much thanks to his uncanny skills to with little means procuring popular victuals and drink for the crews. His craftiness is so legendary arround ports that he once on a dare in Marrakesh was asked to rustle up a penguin. After half an hour he came back with two penguins and a dead walrus.
The wisky crate was made with sheet, tube and rod styrene.

The cat is still my favourite, but they're all great Hammers. Still, I think it's not fair that Mr. Börje Börjesson, able seaman, of Västervik, has no background. So, if you will allow me....
Börje ‘Buran’ Börjesson enrolled at the age of fourteen as a malevolent cabin boy on a tramp steamer on which he spent most of the following decade. He disappeared with the steamer on a routine trip to Archangel. Crossing Russia in the middle of the civil war did little to improve his character. Rumoured to have amassed a fortune as commander of a White armoured train, he was happy to return to sea five years later as able seaman on a Bosphorus tender before moving on. Börjesson is happiest in cold weather, snow, and the thick of a fight when he is not drawing elaborate fake maps claiming to show the location of his fortune.

Lovely! Thanks Vanvlak! I had something else in mind (Västervik was a hot spot for a marxist uprising in 1918) but I will keep this as is.

You're just the best, love that painting, that setting and that fluff, can't wait for the next one.
-
:lol: Love the back stories. Specially this latest. That's one mean and yet effective purser (I think I have met his descendant).
Your detailing and all the bits and pieces are excellent.
Is the dingy home made or is it a commercial product?
Great weahtering effect on it by the way.
:D
-
The dingy is a Zvezda 1/72 medeival life boat. Would be quite large in RL but works quite well in this scale as a dingy.
EDIT: :roll: I just went back to edit the fluff on Purser Jack as it was quite unreadable. I am a terribly sloppy editing my texts.
-
The blurbs are great. They really add something extra to the pics and IMO are just the right length, so please keep them as they are.
The last "mini-diorama" was very well done - so again, please continue with this idea if possible :D
-
Hammer- I've been away from the workbench threads for a bit: Holy cow! What awesome progress you're making. Your sailors are great, and I love that ship you're building.
I'm thinking of building another ship, but I'll hold off and watch yours come along first and see what I can learn :)
What source(s) will you use for the ship's fittings and details?
Oh, and Boomin' Donnan is my favorite sailor so far; gotta love plaid pants and dynamite. :mrgreen:
-
I go away for the weekend, come back and see all these new figures. Beautiful stuff. :love: :D :o :)
-
I am lagging behind a bit with thepresentation of the crew, bu here's another one:
Alojzy the Pole, with a Smith&Wesson M1917 and a fireaxe:
(http://www.adventuregaming.tsome.com/Sailors/Sailors/Alojzy_with_fire_axe_and_Webley_revolver.jpg)
Alojzy is the younger son of a prominent polish industrialist in the free city of Danzig. While his father built his fortune on an extensive eel fishing and jellied eel canning operation, the son did his uttermost to spend it n cars, parties and women. After Alojzy having impregnated not only one but three daughters of important Danziger burghers, the father used his contacts to discretely send the boy to sea. Alojzy took to his new environment with surprising ease. He is however still an enthusiastic patron of various port establishments of ill repute.
The fire axe is custome made from sheet brass and rod plus solder.
-
Very nice. nice axe too :D
-
Yup, pan Alojzy looks great! Nice job on the black.
-
Daft question, but who manufactures the figures?

Hammershield, they're fantastic. I particularly like Purser Jack, but all of your very small scratchbuilds of brass and wire have me tremendously impressed.

Most obliged.
Next man:
Tidung the Bugis, deck hand.
(http://www.adventuregaming.tsome.com/Sailors/Sailors/Tidung_with_Tommygun.jpg)
If one is to believe sailors' tales Tidung is a pirate. If one is to believe ones eyes they concurr. The man carries every trait one would attibute to a South China Sea buccaneer. The tales tell the story of how Tidung once was part of a failed pirate attack on a tramper on its way from Makassar to Darwin. The young Tidung was knocked unconscious, chained in the hold and brought along the journey while his brethern of the coast fled back to their lairs on the Sulawesi coast. Due to pox induced manfall on board the tramper Tidung was Shanghaied in to service and was quickly assimilated into the already mixed crew. Tidung now speaks an almost incomprehensible pidgin, generoulsy trufféed with profanities in Dutch, French, German, Latin, Swedish, Maltese, Russian, Portugese, Sinhala and Esperanto, which he for some reason manages to get across with near perfect enounciation. While he has kept much of the traditional warrior ethos of his people, there no longer anything traditional about his choice of arms: the man delights in the use of small arms and grenades.
-
I picked up a pack of tramp steamer sailors in my last pulp order. This thread is making me want to drop all my other projects, order more sailors, and build a boat.
Love the figs and the backgrounds.
-
A thing about the handgranade on the chest: I noticed that 1/35 hangranades are quite small. I don't know which is out of scale but they look almost identical in size as the piece many 28mm minis hold in their hands. This is good news since I have oodles of these little plastic buggers.

Bolajoko with his Lee-Enfield
(http://www.adventuregaming.tsome.com/Sailors/Sailors/Bolajoko_with-Lee_Enfield.jpg)
Bolajoko is a yoruba from a small fishing village wedged between the jungle and the great river Niger. He was made an orphan in his late preadolescence after an incident where hippos claimed his parents, siblings and the family canoe on the river. The boy was taken in by a nearby French mission where the nuns rolled up their sleves and went about bringing the boy up a Good Christian with Western Manners. Bolajoko hated it and the skin of his buttocks never really had time to heal between his attempts to run away. There was only one thing that could get his complete attention in the school room and that was the geography classes with stories of great oceans and the fantastic machines which crossed it on water and through the air. How the boy finally quit the mission is unclear, but there is talk of arson. Whichever way he eventually made it to Lagos and often tells the story of how he got onboard his first merchantman as a stowaway.
Bolajoko is greatly appreciated for his generally happy boisterous disposition and his big, white teeth are often seen flashing as he lets out great booming laughs. His distinctly yorube versions of classic sea shanties are legendary:
“Ojo rome o, what to do drunk sailor?
IRÒ MÃ O! throw ’im in long-long ôkö wétèìgbájá ’till he drunk no longer...”

One of the officers, Second Mate Jesse:

(http://www.adventuregaming.tsome.com/Sailors/Sailors/Second_Mate_Jesse.jpg)
Sorry folks, I am drawing a blank on the fluff today. All I have so far is that he is a canuk from Vancouver and an upright kinda guy.
Jesse Morgan, formerly of Vancouver, chose not to work in his family's store, preferring to take a position as a ship's clerk on a freighter heading to Shanghai. The ship's master found that young Morgan was both a meticulous worker and scrupulously honest, and encouraged him to study well for the Boards.
Since then, Morgan's rise in the ranks has been as steady and methodical as his accounting. From clerk he made Purser, and from there to Second Mate. He is a born conciliator, able to defuse feuds among the crew with calm words and judicious arbitration. His official jacket includes glowing letters of recommendation from officers he has served under.
Morgan disapproves of wildcat merchantmen and smugglers, feeling they disgrace the sailor's trade and tradition in their pursuit of money. He does allow his subordinates to cheat the port authorities or rig the manifest, which has earned him the nickname "Saint Jesse" among those who find his professionalism too confining.
-
Nice paint job and write-up. Your "African" flesh is very well done.
-
Spot on, Pete. You're a master. Since the Captain will be a dipso and the Chief Mate a conniving bastard I though Jesse would have to be the kinda guy who keeps the ship afloat.
-
Hi Peder, really nice work and the little bios are great inspiration too.
Nice work from Pete on the last bio too.
I like Jesse's pet rat 8)
God Bless
-
Very, very nice, great flesh tones :)

These are great but I wish people would lay off the naval stuff it's getting too inspiring and I'm already booked up for the year.
Maybe if I painted through the nights?...
-

Your word is my law.
People: on popular demand further publication of merchantman sailors is now suspended till further notice. I wish I could continue but I am afraid I can do naught.
(phew. This gives me a breather...)

Ahhh, just cut it to "two sailors a week", Matakishi will quit his whining, and we´ll all be happy (or cursing you, depends on the depths of our wallets and the firmness of our resolve...).
