Gallery / Freebooter / Long John Silver Next Miniature

Many years he sailed across the oceans and now his body and his heart are tired of the long journeys far away from his homeland. He will search for a place to rest soon, maybe in one harbour someone is waiting for him?
Somehow this miniature reminds me of a song made by “Subway to Sally”. It is about an old sailor who is guided home by good wishes and his longing for a safe and quite place.
I don’t have recognised many details until I started painting, a button here, a patch there – and so I needed more than 20 hours to finish him. The delivered base was in my opinion to small and so I made one of my own from Green Stuff.
I have won a Golden DUZI in the category "Single Fantasy Miniature" with him on the DUZI 2006.
