Good good, I'm looking forward to seeing it all. Especially the knights because they are my favorite models the the gondor range.

hey guys! I've been busy enough recently but have had time to get a few models in. I've done all my Citadeal guards now and the Command set. They've been rushed, because I just couldn't be bothered.. and it's shown through but meh whatever. I thought I'd show you a picture of my Gondor army so far, and what still needs doing. I still have a lot of WoMT to work on - but I don't mind. I was happy enough to find another 2 metal captains and a flag bearer hidden in a box. I do realised the trebuchet and Vale command is not painted, but it's all good. Anyways enjoy the pics.

It's a selection of new models, and some older painted ones which will be re-painted and done up.

Seems like a nice collection Drum

keep it up. I hope u won't regret painting them fast afterwards :-D

it just would be terrible to do them all over again :rofl:

Thats quite a lot of models! good luck with all them

The only major thing i think is rushed about the citedal guards is the bases - the painting is a bit sloppy. But that said the actual models are great.
Keep up the amazing work.

Here is my latest update on the small ruined fort. It's been painted up, based and I'm now working on the rubble as we speak. I've decided I will be selling these on ebay, since I've made a mould it makes sense. So if your interested hit me with a PM, ehe. Still got a lot to do yet though!

Here's the bridge you asked for Cyndra, it's just a really simple basic one. I'm going to finish off my board I started ages ago, and have it suitable for some of my own battles with friends. Still need to make buildings for the Osgiliath side.

Nice work Drum - it looks really good painted up

Thanks for the pic. Even though it is quite simple I think it looks really effective because it's placed high above the river. The ruin looks good too and I would buy one from you but alas, I spent all my Christmas money on Assassins Creed :-D

Fantastic work as usual and keep it up.

Cheers, I'm glad you like the bridge - it was pretty simple. Yep the ruin has turned out well so far. Don't worry ehe, assassins creed is worth it!

Almost done folks, this is what it looks like so far.

Couldn't resist chucking a few men on, ehe

That is going to be a very useful piece. Well done!

It looks great for a last stand type battle. The fire is a really nice touch as well. Good work again.

Hey folks, sorry for being rather inactive recently. I have a small update, I got busy with the bricks. After being very pleased with casting x16 times of the hirst arts mold I decided to follow Onxy's Weathertop. However it didn't turn out as I wanted at all really, so I'm probably going to paint this up and just use it for general gaming.

The problem I hit was when I was building the walls I switched sides by mistake while not noticing that the stairs and second level would not work. So my next step will be just to finish that, and then I'm going to properly make it (with the hill and all) following his guide. A quick thanks to Onxy for making this brilliant guide, it's come in very useful.

I also have several things that I've bought from Thomarllin including the statues that will be used for Weathertop. Anywhoo enjoy the pictures (even thought I wasn't pleased with it :-X

)

P.S. Sorry for the large photos folks, I'm using a new thing to upload them onto the internet. Will try and sort it!

Still looks good Drum! I've never built a piece of terrain but this looks nice. One day I will attempt something... one day. I'm looking forward to seeing further progress.

Oldman Willow · **Posted:** Wed Jan 26, 2011 1:22 am

I like the design. :yay:

Or you going to use the stairs?

garmenhord · **Posted:** Wed Jan 26, 2011 8:08 am

Nothing wrong with that - it's a nice piece

Cheers fellas, yer it's not bad I suppose. Just not what I was expecting it to turn out like.

Question: People with experience with hirst arts *looks at Old Willow* could you recomend which mould I should get next. I have the round ruined castle one, the more detailed second dungeon mould and just simple bricks.

Cyndra the Grey · **Posted:** Wed Jan 26, 2011 5:53 pm

Looks alright to me, but then I have no xp with hirst arts.
Keep up the good work

Are you Mad, it looks great! :yay:

Even tough it might not be weathertop, it is a very nice general ruin.
Are you going to customize it with decorative numenorion shields, etc?

looking forward to more updates and "the real weathertop"

Ps: Some time age you said you would start on a church/ cathedral, is there any progress on that one? :pray:
