Post subject:  IamcalledS's work in (slow) process
Hi, I'm a very, very new newbie, and I've literally only done the starter one given to you in Games Workshop (a plastic man of Gondor, I think?) and almost all of Boromir from, I think, the (Mines of) Moria starter kit. Don't ever plan to game, I just like painting the models :) so... yeah. Any feedback would be great :)
And... I'd just like to say I was introduced to this hobby by KnightyKnight, who is awesome :-D

I think better camera could do the trick. Silhouette is the only thing I see.

Edit: Oh I almost forgot: Welcome, welcome!

Welcome to the hobby!
You really can't see any detail in those pictures.

Welcome to the One-Ring.
Your photography will improve here, along with your painting, and you will probably get the gaming bug from KK and some of the other guys.
It's all good fun.

Aaaaaahhhhhh!!! You've joined!!! :D

I've taken the liberty of uploading your pictures via photobucket, it's by far the best way to post your pictures.

As for Boromir himself, you've made a fantastic start! All the paint is in the right place, which is the most important thing when you're starting out. I can't wait to see you with the completed Fellowship!

And I don't know about you never ever gaming, you seemed to enjoy slaughtering those goblins left right and centre... :lol:

Well, "S" it seems that you're doing well. Starting off nicely, I really like the Warrior of Minas Tirith there. It looks like you've done his clothing in green, is that the case?

Anyway, as others have said I wouldn't count the game out just yet. It's a great one, and you have a good mentor. Knighty is indeed a top-shelf chap!

KnightyKnight- thank you! :-D you've been really helpful, I really appreciate it :) and... well... it was *very* fun slaughtering goblins ;) heheh....

Morbag_the_Orc- close-ups on my phone camera would be difficult, because it gets incredibly blurry, even more so than it already is, but I can give it a try :)

Lord Hurin- thank you very much :) the Minas Tirith warrior does have green clothing, yes. And, well... I agree :) Knighty is a top-shelf chap :-D

Morbag_the_Orc- Nope, I do not :) I play the violin, but... I really want to be able to play the hardanger xD I'm sure it's not tooooo difficult :L

Your painting looks smooth from what I can see on the photos.
Are you watering your paints down ? You want a milky consistency. As an example, when I apply a basecoat it takes three coats to create a smooth finish. The important thing is that no detail is obscured by thick paint.
Also have only enough paint on your brush so it virtually dries as your stroke finishes, it does slow down completion but is well worth the effort.
Don't allow paints to pool on the figure, it will completely ruin the look.

Gandlaf the Grey- thank you! I haven't been watering paints down, but I have been aware that splooshing too much paint on isn't going to be a good idea- but I might give watering paint down a try, if it's helpful :) and thank you very much for the tips and advice :)

Believe me, it is a must to water down your paints if you want anything like a decent finish to them, plus it makes the paint last longer.
