I love this model. I am also very intimidated by it as I have seen some spectacular renditions of it. Looking forward to seeing how yours turns out, likely leading to me moving it further down my list ;-)

Your white is better than my white.

Yeah Isle, I'm intimidated by it too! I'm pretty terrible at painting faces so we'll see how this goes.

Ondoher - I'm sure it isn't. :P

UPDATE:

I got the Bridle and the Undersaddle done. Incremental updates I know, but I work better in short sharp bursts.

So far so good. I still don't have this newer version of Arwen foot and mounted. I do mean to though. It is infinitely better sculpted than the previous version.

O u actually glued the model on it B4 painting? It might be handy to leave the figure unglued , i always do it after painting. Then there is no hit in messing up previous paint work on the thorse.

I believe as a metal model, the horse and rider are cast as one piece, so impossible to leave the rider 'unglued'.

I disagree. With a little care and the occasional retouch priming and painting an already assembled miniature cuts back on the division between the pieces; which gives it a more realistic appearance.

Ordinarily I'd agree with you, but the piece came pretty much whole - one leg and Arwen's sword arm being the only bits needing assembled.

And yeah ukfreddybear, it really is a lovely sculpt, though I think we're bias because of how bad the old one was xD.

Thanks Whatevier!

I was always bad at painting white before now - I think the key to it is patience, of which I possess a lot more of these days. :)

UPDATE:

So I got Arwen's face, hair and overcoat done tonight. The lighting isn't great this time of night so there'll be better pics when I do the creme undercoat thing. I'm quite pleased with the faces - maybe the foot model is tad bright - but yeah :) I don't like doing eyes on models, as I'm not great at it, and I find with my duller palette it tends to clash quite badly anyway.

Don't be silly, your painting skills are very accomplished! Not to mention your modelling skills... :)

Thanks DMS! I really do make it hard for myself though, I need to buy some more colours - I mixed about four to get the base colour for her coat.
