Black Sails on the horizon, ready to lay waste to the coastline of Gondor and its Fiefdoms... I scratch made the ship several years ago, but then never got round to painting up the crew!
Now shes ready to properly set sail...
Raiding the Docks at Harlond... all ashore!
Last one to the pub buys the round!
Securing their booty and ships stores...
Dalymir, Captain and Bo'sun lead the mongrol pack...
These guys were originally scheduled for painting back in last years winter painting challenge but the Anzac Diorama stuff postponed their panitjob. Nice to finally get them done albeit ~10 months later...I went with as dark a colour scheme as I could manage yet not just going black as they appeared in the movies... the GW 'eavy metal team had gone with dark blues and purples, but with white/cream sashs... I didnt like the white sash so did mine red... better to match their allied Haradrim cousins I felt, once I start painting them up... and they are next but one on the painting table - Arwen and Gandalf still await finishing touches...
Hoping these guys might see a little action in the not too distant future...
Lovely work, excellent boat!
ReplyDeleteImpressive ship, figures, and pictures!
ReplyDeleteThey look brilliant! Great job!
ReplyDeleteLove the ship and her crew!
ReplyDeleteGreat ship--looks great all crewed up!
ReplyDeleteLove em mate, I agree the red works better than the white sash. I guess I need to get off my butt and get my Gondor force ready!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, yup that would be cool. in the meantime you're welcome to use mine :)
DeleteGreat work as always Scott. I missed the post where you had just finished the ship.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks Nate - no worries... it was a wee while ago,,, March 2010. 5 Years ago, ah well better late than never!
DeleteLovely work Scott! Nice to see you getting a bit of painting and modelling done!
ReplyDeleteAmazing work Scott!
ReplyDeleteReally superb painting - love the boat!
ReplyDeleteGreat work Scott! Certainly looks like a fitting crew for the ship!
ReplyDeleteAmazing work Scott! I haven't seen the ship and it's impressive. I love it.
ReplyDeleteSo, congratulations for the fleet.
Nice work Scott. Always good to see more LOTR come from your workshop!
ReplyDeleteHi Scott, awesome work as always. question what is the water surface the ship is on?
ReplyDeleteit looks like painted lexan or lexan over a painted sheet?, I'm looking to do something similar and am looking for ideas...love the look you have there....
Thanks John, heres the blog post I described it... http://scottswargaming.blogspot.co.nz/search/label/Water%20Effect%20Sea%20Surface Cheers, Scott
Deletelove the scratch built ship there Scott, models look fantastic too
ReplyDeleteFreaking ace! The rust on the ship...nailed it! Your pirate dudes came up a treat! cheers
ReplyDeleteShip and pirates looking great. Nice paint job :)
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff, I love that ship! While LotR is pretty dead locally, your blog is always an inspiration. (Doing a bit of catch up on the blogroll ;-) )
ReplyDeleteThanks mate. Sorry to hear that. We've just had the New Zealand hobbit league final here in Wellington and got 20 players attending. Not bad considering we only got the league going at the beginning of the year. 😀
DeleteCracking work Scott, but you seem to have dropped off my blogroll again, fortunately I saw a post in someone else and headed over.
ReplyDelete:) No worries, many thanks for dropping by !
