Well as the comp has been extended and I'm an impatient sort - not at all Entish roll I thought you might to have a sneak peak of the Corsairs.

Hope you enjoy (and I've still got a bloody big ship to crew!!!) neutral

jdbrown55 · Wed, Mar26 2008 10:50pm

You know ddaines, I am truly impressed with your work! It must take a lot of time to come up with the dioramas you make. Great job once again! Keep up the great work! big_smile

Theobald · Wed, Mar26 2008 11:53pm

superb ... so it leaves me considering painting corsairs providing them with a diorama though I really cannot haste it ... superb, I said ...Master Ddaines .. but what do you mean with that being "not at all Entish" ? ... anyway, keep on, please ... (I simply forgot about all the adjectives I should have used to comment on that pic.) .... rhuooommm ... marvellous ...... hom ... could be another word for superb ....

ddaines · Thu, Mar27 2008 12:18am

Thank you for the kind comments, it makes the effort all worthwhile cool ,

What I meant by not being very Entish is that I thought with the original deadline all the entries would have appeared on the main Mithril site, but as the painting comp has been extended for a month, well I couldn't wait that long to share the pictures so I just had to post one.

Hopefully it will inspire others to get the paint and brushes out as these little chaps really are nice.

I also really do like all those details ... except the fact that someone got lost of his cudgel wink
Please let me ask where's that boat from?

ddaines · Thu, Mar27 2008 5:51pm

Well Master Ent the cudgel had to go as that particular Corsair is pulling the boat in and tying it to the bollard (I'll post some more images from different angles), and although it doesn't show up too well the rope goes around his back to that hand.

The boat is in fact a small scale Viking ship made by Drakkar Oseberg (I might have chucked the box but that name is on the plastic sprue) which has been chopped and changed.

Originally I brought them (unseen) for The Fellowhip's Elven boats but they were a little too big, fate perhaps.

ddaines · Thu, Mar27 2008 5:53pm

I think that shows it a bit clearer.

Kenakko · Sun, Apr27 2008 2:05pm

Well here is my 'action shot' for the contest. I didn't bother to do much here. A friend took the photo with a camera which cost more than most cars I've owned!

Kenakko · Sun, Apr27 2008 2:21pm

Here's M474

Kenakko · Sun, Apr27 2008 2:24pm

And here's M480. I submitted 5 figures total. Good luck to everyone else!

hsf62 · Sun, Apr27 2008 2:26pm

Like all your other painted minis I saw before, I love the way you give them colour!

Theobald · Sun, Apr27 2008 3:09pm

Absolutely great work. David. Respect!
I also like the way you're considering details. E.g. that Gondorian spearman is holding exactly the right shield, being from South Gondor.
Thank you.

ddaines · Sun, Apr27 2008 9:33pm

Great stuff there Ken - well that's two of us, lol. I think the background scene on the main pic really sets the scene and does it for me!

Anyone else going to send in a picture?

Zoetrop · Sun, Apr27 2008 10:30pm

Hello!
Here are the pictures from my Cosairs.
I like the pictures from kenakko and ddaines more but making a diorama is not my world.
David and Ken, also Respect from my side, great work!

All very nice indeed - way superior to my 'bulk-production' wargame-army painting skills. Which is why I haven't enetered the competition - I know my place in life (lowly barkeep etc), and have no delusions of artistic competence! Great work, guys. The subtle differences in style are fascinating.

hsf62 · Mon, Apr28 2008 5:44am

Ahh Master Zoetrop is back!
By the way it is a painting competision not a diorama building competision.
I guess it will be hard for the judges to find the Master Painter.

jdbrown55 · Mon, Apr28 2008 12:56pm

Oh Wow! Ken that is really awesome! Great work! You too Zoetrop! Great job! Is their anyone else that painted any of the Corsairs? hmm

Theobald · Mon, Apr28 2008 1:04pm

Oh, sorry, Ken, I mixed up your name with David's in my last entry ... sorry. But everything I can see here is first class, of course including Zoetrop's versions.
I will not take part for two reasons: my skills cannot match with you three, and well, on the other hand there's not enough time.
But what about Wendy? She's a brilliant painter.

Kenakko · Mon, Apr28 2008 2:20pm

Thanks for your kind words everyone. I, too. just enjoy looking at the work of others. Great job Zoetrop and David. I would like to see others, so I've posted some more of my entries...here's M478.

Kenakko · Mon, Apr28 2008 2:23pm

Here's M473. And a note about dioramas. I don't do them either for my Mithril. My pictures are just sand and a few odd bits of scenery

Kenakko · Mon, Apr28 2008 2:26pm

And here's M479. Most of the rest of the series looked to me like they needed to be on a ship and there's no way I could have made a nice picture without one. I know that there are plenty of good painters out there...any other takers for this gallery?!

Yes good to see you once again Zoetrop and a pleasure to look at your work once more.

I don't know about brilliant... big_smile

I was too busy getting ready for a bigger painting competition over here that was this last weekend (which is where I've been for the last few days). Mithril was well represented at the show, by the way, at least by me.

Good luck to all who entered the competition. All the figs look great! smile

Gavin · Wed, Apr30 2008 1:08pm

Wow, these are some amazing images. I am a little envious that I couldn't enter (was too poor - and Imrahil was my priority). But you guys would have blown me out of the water. I'll probably wait till after the Knights of Dol Amroth come out to go get myself a Corsair set (and their admiral).

Still: bloody awesome, folks.
