Hello all,

Going to finally get on board here with a challenge, have been lurking for a little bit now and wanted to join, but haven't had the time as of yet.

My entries are Gandalf the Grey, and Gandalf the White ft and mounted. Not sure which will get done, but may do more than one.

Proof Pic:

Wish me luck!

Here is some progress on my Gandalf the White:

I may still paint the grey version as the challenge entry because grey is so much easier to get look good... :-)

very nice!
i really like the way youve done the grey

Thanks Sid, it was done with a basecoat of black/shadow grey, gradually adding a secret ingredient (hmmm... I wonder what?) for each progressive highlight.

New avatar, I see

You added gin to the highlights too?!?

Anyway, looking good, especially the face.

I'll be having a go at The Undying.

I mean, he's the same base sculpt as mounted Gandalf the Grey anyway.

I'm not convinced I'll have time (this month has been crazy busy), but I do have this gandalf that needs painting.

Would Flói Stonehand, Loremaster of Moria be allowed in the painting comp? He the nearest thing to a wizard the dwarves have!

I've done some work on Radagast:

I'll take that as a no then....

I'm not Red(pink) Corsair, but I know if I were to vote that I would certainly consider him. Worst thing that happens is you don't get any votes and you have a lovely painted Floi.
