I like what you have done here and without knowing your background I will make a stab at helping you. By the grainy look of Gandalfs cloak, are you watering your paints down ? If not you need a 1 part paint 2 parts water mix as a starting point. Concentrate on some shading. A very dark blue/black at the deepest folds of the cloak lightened with a grey as you come lighter. I would say similar for the horse and cart, use more shading in the deepest places to bring out the highlights more. |

Well I think that has to do with the picture pixsels as when I look down on it with my eyes it isn't grainy at all. the picture has been made with a lot of light on the model as well so that might explain it also I tink. but i might be trying to shade a little bit more Thnx |

It would nice to have some pictures at a lower level. I can see why you went for an overhead shot but some ground-level ones would be great too. Perhaps one from the front and one from the side. Nice basing by the way. Is this a new hobbit model - I might be tempted by this perhaps ? |

Gandalf and Cart are still available through GW. Check the Shire forces at the bottom. In finecast now instead of metal. |

I like the unusual brown basing material, what is it? But what I like the best is the Cheekey Monkey in the background! |
