So yesterday my father went me to buy the machien we need and also a bunch of miniatures from a friends of mine
Here is my fellowship(Aragorn's and Gandalf's hand missing so not used)

Here are my goblins(In the front you can see the two first models painted,the left was painted by my brother but mine was best so we decided I should paint)

Now here is our trolls(The mordor troll is painted by the friend that selled it to me)

Here are the Minas tirith warriors(Credits to Gareew for helping me for how to make bronze better)

Here are the Minas tirith knights

My Nazgul

(Mounted one and the other with green around his base painted by my friend)

Faramir

Rangers of the north and one Dunedain

All together

The mordor troll,Faramir,Rangers of the north,Dunedain,Mounted Nazgul and one Nazgul on foot,Galadriel were painted by a friend of mine long ago but he sold them to me yesterday
So:
7/109 minis unpainted=6%
14/109 mins painted by a friend of mine/brother=13%
88/109 minis painted by me=81%

Requests may be done, Also help about how to take better photos are welcome :-D

I was wondering when you'd get one of these. I must admire your collection, particularly the Eleven are Abroad. :-D

Of course I will...
I hope the next models should come at October-November but I don't know if I will have the right colors... :rofl:

I noticed u work with white basecoat - u can easily mix colours when painting on those. Just make sure u thin ur paint enough with water.

Yes I always use water to make my brush wet before painting...

No i mean more like - not painting with the pure paint (that would give thick layers). It would be like waterpainting on paper. Watered down paint adding layer after layer. It's like a wash - the paint sticks most in the deepest part. Just make sure to let it dry enough so the water can flow down. U can easily take away paint with another brush if it's still wet.

No I prefer it wt because when my brush is try and paint somewhere if you push it a little it paints another part while as wet it's okay...

A friend of mine painted her...Not me...He must get credits for Galadriel,Mordor troll,Faramir,Rangers of the north and Dunedain and one of the Nazgul(foot and mounted)...

Fantastic army there - especially Gondor. And some nice painting. Can't wait to see more!

Really like how you decided to use a piece of scenery on the base for the foot version of Faramir...well done!

Thanks for your kind words...(Faramir's wall on his base was placed by my friend... :lol:

What happened to the Mounted Faramirs arm? That looks painful

Nice collection indeed Hilbert, but I would straighten weapons to make them look better (spears on the Rangers of the North, Lurtz' sword)

My friend gave it to me like this(I know it so it's fair)... I won't straght the weapons cause the last I tried I broke it(The Nazgul without sword

)

Nice collection, i would recommend buying a metal gandalf, aragorn, legolas and gimli. Because i hate the MoM models of those characters (and two of yours are broken) Your friends painting is really good! Good job on the scouts, the pic is a bit blurry but they look pretty nice
