Thank you all for you compliments. He was my first real attempt at layering rather than just dry brushing and adding a wash so I'm pretty happy with him. I almost didn't go ahead with the display base because I didn't have the materials to make it but God provided. I saw the fourth grade project and had the a chisel lying around from a dinosaur kit I had received around ten years ago and it all came together.

Here's my next project. I didn't have enough putty left to finish the troll so I decided to work on some smaller projects until I acquired enough, which could be a long while. Based on your suggestions I decided to put together another barrow wight. After this I hope to make an easterling captain. If any of you have close ups of easterlings it would help if you could post them so that I have a better idea of what to work with. Thank you all and please leave feedback.

Good basic shape, but the left arm (bottom pic) looks a bit longer than the right one.
What's the lump sticking out in the first pic? A knee?

Thank you aqan, that's a really good picture. I will try to start once the barrow wight is all done. As for the barrow wight, the bulge is just a result of how the putty folded when I twisted it. I'll see how it looks once I make the robe longer. Then I'll work on the arms. Thank you Elessar for reminding me or I probably would've just left it.

I've finished the leaves on Radagast. I decided to make the mall the same but they look a lot better than they did before, thank you once again aqan. @ PAMPLEMOUSE you said you had doubts about the model by itself. What do you mean? What needs to be improved?

I have made I little more progress on the barrow wight. I have added the hood and extended the right arm. How are they? I'm struggling to sculpt the hands so I'm wondering how it would without them and if anything should be done to the sleeves if that is the case?

I will try to get a picture of Radagast up tomorrow. Do you have any other suggestions as to how to improve him.

The hood looks good! 8)

If I were you I'd move on to another miniature now - you've improved Radagast as much as you can without stripping him and re-starting. And he does look good, especially with the scenery you made to go with him! :)

Last update of Radagast.
Image
I'm quite happy with how he turned out. He has also given me a great chance to try out layering so my future minis should be a lot better.
The barrow wight is nearing completion, only one hand left, and I'll start painting him shortly. Thank you all for your support and suggestions.

Thank you Ellesar.

Here is an update of the barrow wight. It was really bent over when I took the picture but when it is done it should be a bit more upright. The second hand has to be sculpted and part of the robe at the back needs to be smoothed. Other than that what else should I do?

radagast looks very nice. :yay:

About the barrow wight, are you going to hide the pin, paint it or remove it as you can see it clearly on the front picture.

really nice work on sculpting the hand 8)

I think I will just leave it, as you can see from the picture below it isn't very visible. Once I add the last hand I'll be done, I sculpted it today but only realized that I had sculpted a second right hand as I was about to take pictures. I plan on painting it similarly as before but I want it too look more evil and spirit like. I plan to make a quicker transition from the white to the brown and make the brown a lot darker. I had some thoughts on adding some green or blue to the white bits as well though I'm not sure how. How do you think that would work or would you suggest a different colour scheme?

Why not try the white colour GW does on their Barrow whites?

Great idea once again samoht 8)
Here are pictures of the finished sculpt. I not happy with the hands. I put a little too much of they yellow putty into the mix for the right hand so it hasn't hardened yet. I'm hoping that the paint will keep it from bending but is there anyway to make it harden or at least keep it's shape. As you can see was trying out something else but it didn't work out.
