Well done mate, first to spot the NMM. I was wondering who would.
This has been my first attempt at it and I am fairly pleased. I can see how I can improve but I loved putting this together.
I can see a lot more in the future.

First attempt?!?!

Lord god, that is an incredible first attempt, especially with a technique as difficult as NMM.

That's fantastic! One of the best Haldir paint-jobs and basings I've ever seen! Well done! :yay:

Great looking mini! I particularly like the gold and how the blue under robe contrasts so well with it. Definitely prefer this version of the model to the blade wielding one. Love it!

Great mini, well done. You do need to go darker with contrast though, its a bit too yellow. The basing is awesome too!

Great piece, those Galadhrim are excellent sculpts and you've certainly followed it up with a worthy paintjob. And, if the Challenge thread is to be believed, all that in just 11 minutes! ;)

Excellent basing mate!
Beautifully painted NMM, however the contrast could be a bit more intense, so as to give more depth.
Other than that, plain beautiful, one of my most favourite heroes from the first trilogy, if not the top one.
P.S. where could one find these flowers?

the stone work is very realistic, also I can see you have put lot of thought into the layout of the piece, works really well on the eye. I like it.

Beautiful! The nmm looks great, especially for a first attempt :yay: I do think it could use some more contrast as well, and I think some of the edges could be brighter, but overall very well done. The base too is amazing, lovely work.
