Dutch privateer crew + finished ship

[imurdentist]

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...

[Arlequín]

Welcome aboard, and excellent job on the painting too... Hendrick looks excellent...

So another top class painter to show up my poor painting skills huh? 

[fastolfrus]

Very nice, but now we want to see the ship....

[Bugsda]

Lovely paintwork

[Furt]

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)?

[Gluteus Maximus]

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 

[Malamute]

Very nice.

[Keith]

Welcome - and rather beautiful work there Sir!

[Argonor]

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'....

[PeteMurray]

Excellent painting! Welcome to the forum!

[imurdentist]

Thank's for your kind words 

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

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. 

[Argonor]

Can't wait to see how THAT looks 

[Darkoath]

Very nice painting!  Welcome aboard!   With those painting skills you won't be made to walk the plank!

[twrchtrwyth]

Lovely minis and terrain.

The last two sailors have been painted, and I finally recieved my ship   
Will have it painted up and photographed after the weekend...
