@orc-archer Thanks very much!
@mertaal Tell me about it! The last model I painted before these was a Tau battlesuit so this was like painting a grain a rice by comparison!
@Gandlaf the grey Thanks, it certainly is hard to stay away, I'm just a bit annoyed I didn't stick with it when it was more popular - it feels a bit like it's days are numbered unfortunately.
Well Gandalf took a bit longer than I thought but I finally managed to finish him, it's my first attempt at blending the highlights a bit but Garfy's tutorial from the Tale of Painters blog website (http://taleofpainters.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/tutorial-how-to-paint-gandalf-from.html) was a great help.
Thanks for looking, next up is going to be Kili I think.
