Finished my Cave Troll today

Almost done with thorin and Azog. Few more days to a week I reckon. Then it's onto the fellowship!

Getting legolas ready. I'm planning on entering him into golden demon in May. The base is made from a piece of tree branch I found on my walk to work after the storms we've had here. Iattached it to a plinth base, stained it with oil paints and applied foliage.

One of the first LOTR metal models I ever owned, and its till holds up so well today! The Perry brothers really knocked it out of the park with the LOTR range.

Best of luck to you!

Thanks! yeah I love the original fellowship models! the new ones are nice but these just hold a soft spot for me. managed to get an original in box off ebay!

Thorin and Azog finished.

Very nice, I really like the ice effect

Brilliant stuff!

That ice looks great, and so do both of them! With the way it's set up right now, I'd be betting on Azog.

Great stuff mate! The base, the winter scenery really impresses!

Thanks everyone.. Maybe another day I'll make one with azog under the ice.

Amazing! That looks incredible!

thanks!

I had to take legolas off the branch base, as I felt that it was too large for him. however, that gave me a great excuse to buy radagast and his rabbit sleigh, so stay tuned!

I got a pile of Uruk Hai done

24 Scouts:



A battering ram:


Ugluk:


And Lurtz!

Finished legolas. I was planning on entering him into the middle earth category at golden demon, but now wh fest is cancelled I didn't go as crazy as I normally would. I will probably return to him at another point and touch him up a little.

Very nice

I honestly like that base a bit more than the bigger one, and i think it fits the figure better in general. The paint job is great!

Thanks! Yeah the base was far too large, and would overshadow the miniature. I've put radagast and his sleigh on that now, and currently painting him. Will post once done. Also planning to make a small vignette of the prancing pony for merry and pippin.

I can definitely see radagast on that working a lot better! Heck, it almost seems like it might have been made for him

Well, I wouldn't normally buy this model. I find large models like this a bit tedious and I tend to lose interest, but I had to buy it specifically for the base!


Here is a WIP photo, aswell as a WIP of the base I'm making for the standing version.

Radagast finished. Nightmare to photograph.

Great Radaghast!

Moria Goblin King

Well done on radaghast!

And Razormind, he looks great!

I like that goblin king model.. Might have to get him at some point.

Among the tide of GW characters being mounted on pieces of rock or rubble, this classic model is an example of it actually making sense.

Been working on a little vignette base over the past week. I plan to make it into the prancing pony Inn.

that will be pretty cool when you are done

Made a Barrow mound

That's a really cool piece! Do you have the old Fog on the Barrow Downs set? One of my favourites of the old scenario-based boxed sets (which I really wish they never stopped).
