So, it seems like a good time to take some time to do some altering to a theme close to my heart, Tolkien’s ‘Lord of the Rings’.

Showcase 4 – Pirate of Sartosa

Submitted by on January 6, 2010 – 12:01 amOne Comment

Hey,

The first moment I saw that the guys at GWHQ had come up with a bunch of pirate sculpts for the collectors range I knew that I had to get in on the action.  I painted for an evening or two on the human pirate of sartosa model, and lost my inspiration.  Luckily I got it back by pulling out my sculpting tools rather than my paint brushes, and started again with a few empire pieces and some milliput/greenstuff mix.  What you see below is the result.  He has proved himself to be a love/hate sort of piece, some people are full of praise for the posing and the painting, and others are pretty ambiguous.  Aah well, he was a blast to make and paint, I got to play with a whole bunch of plasticard, and freehand the wood on the horizontal planks.

Anyway, now I have some nice big clear pictures I thought I’d show him off properly :)

Any thoughts or feedback?

James
