Almost finished, my plan is to give this miniature a dramatic snow base

MacGothmog · **Posted:** Thu Jul 09, 2009 12:59 pm

Stunning!
NMM and freehands are tops!

I Love it!

That eagle is unbelievable!!

Final shield design.
It was quite spontaneous really, I had no idea what I wanted to do with the shield, except I didn't want it to look like the numerous other versions of this miniature, i.e. decorative patterns of sorts all over the shield

That is some really amazing freehand! Stunning! :yay:

Kris, how much do you get for each mini?

incredible free hand on that shield! :-D

Thanks guys.

That depends on the miniature and how many collectors are after it. The wood elf lord sold for $152. I guess I'm hoping for about the same for this latest one, but you never know

Holy **** that's a ton of cash for a piece of painted plastic :lol:

Amazing mini... as usual :wink:

what size brush do you use for your freehand?

Olofér · **Posted:** Thu Jul 23, 2009 9:47 am

I have a size "0" Winsor brush, worn out to the verge of annihilation

Finished:

Fall of Fingolfin · **Posted:** Thu Jul 23, 2009 9:51 am

thanks . . . but isent that a bit big for freehand???
are you from uk . . . if not then i understand.
but you are definitely the best painter i have seen

youre so lucky to be able to paint like that

Olofér · **Posted:** Thu Jul 23, 2009 10:12 am

Actually I don't think you need a very thin brush for freehand, as long as you keep your paints diluted so that they're thin and easy to work with. You should make your way to coolminiornot.com, there's guys there that will knock your socks off. Guys like Rusto, Darkeden and Jmpn makes me want to hide under a rock somewhere.

I'm from Sweden.

Hallpers · **Posted:** Thu Jul 23, 2009 11:10 am

Unbelievable! Your NMM is probably the best I have ever seen! And then it's that amazing freehand... And you complete everything with a lovely little base. I'm hugely impressed (as always). :yay:

Fall of Fingolfin · **Posted:** Thu Jul 23, 2009 11:35 am

i checked the people you said but they dont come close to your talent . . . youre blending is so good . . . i dont know how you do it

and how do you highlight such small things . . . could you give me some tips if thats ok :yay:

Ranger of Gondor · **Posted:** Thu Jul 23, 2009 3:09 pm

Absolutely superb mini... you're going to auction him I presume?

BilboOfTheWhiteTower · **Posted:** Thu Jul 23, 2009 3:30 pm

Wow, that is amazing work Kris...just stunning detail!!

King Elessar the Uniter · **Posted:** Fri Jul 24, 2009 9:12 am

Beautiful model! :yay:

The NMM is truly amazing!

Olofér · **Posted:** Fri Jul 24, 2009 3:56 pm

Thanks alot guys!

(Yes he will go on auction, have to wait two weeks until I'm back from a trip tho)

jebbo · **Posted:** Fri Jul 24, 2009 8:42 pm

I really struggle at anything freehand, and seeing something painted to that high standard is fantastic!!!!! :yay:
