Hi, it's me this time. ;-)
And the figure, I want to show you, is "King Maulg" from Artefactory.
I got this mini from Roman. We planned to battle against each other, painting the same mini and finding out who's one is better, just for fun. hehehehe
Roman has much more of this artistic color-harmony-vibrations, massive creativity and so on .... but what I have is massive patience and a regular job. So please have also patience with me - this will not be finished tomorrow, or next week, or ..... maybe Maulg will be some kind of long-term project. ... and not to give you false hope, Roman won't paint Maulg in the upcoming time. - He did already. - Ok, single battle. Me against me. .... thought, I could omit the battle-idea-thingy, but I have to tell you, because this explains, why I have made my thoughts about "King Maulg". ... and while thinking, I got the idea to make Maulg become a pirate, sinking with his ship. Sounds simple, but for me ..... long-term project.
So here are the first pictures:
Yes, there is not much, you can see at the moment. ... Maulg assembled, holding a steering-wheel, no ship ....
Just want to share this first impression with you. Doesn't he already look like a proud Captain. Are you already feeling the wind, smelling the salty air of the coast? Can't you hear the waves breaking against the planks of the ship? No, me neither. - but let's see, how it's going on. ... and patience, please. hihihi
Regards
Robert
Hehe You never cease to dazzle me :D the idea might look so simple but it's so genial.
ReplyDeleteCheers! Keep it up :)
I love the idea!!!!! Great!!! I will follow this one thoroughly
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell.. fu**ing freak idea! I champ at the bit to see some more wip about this project, Rob do you have in your mind some conversion?
ReplyDeleteCheers

Please tell me where you got the steering wheel from. I have been looking for one the right size for a while now, but no luck.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Thomas
Thank you all for your feedback. hehehehe ... loughing ... thats the kind of pressure I need. ... I'll have to make something out of it.
ReplyDeleteVittorio, you asked about some conversion. Well, no. The only thing, I have in mind, is a parrot sitting on his shoulder, with spreaded wings, just about to take-off in order to save his life from drowning, Maulg will have an eye on him, wearing a pirate-hat and maybe some oldfashioned jacket or something ... not sure yet. ..... arrrgh.
@Thomas
The steering-wheel, I have it from here:
http://www.schiffsmodellbau-onlineshop.de
.. I have one left with a diameter of 31 mm. If you could need it, give me your address, I'll send it to you.
@Rafael
I admire your works, very.
No progress so far. Just got the ship-modell-builder-book, I have ordered, and wished, I didn't. Far tooooo much details in the book, historically correct and so - I won't give much on historical correctness for this project - just look at Maulg's ears.
... the night is young.
