Boromir is finished

I'm very happy with how he came out, and he looks great beside the others

The Fellowship is almost finished, just Aragorn and Gandalf left

Anyway, here he is

Thanks again for all the comments

Fantastic painting on Boromir! I agree about the poses of the Amon Hen models. Some great models.

Nice Boromir mate, congrats

Woah, long time since I've been here :shock:

Been very busy with school unfortunately

But anyway, her's a looong overdue update

Aragorn is complete!

Very happy with him, I think my fellowship is looking great

I'm on a week off now, so hopefully I'll get Gandalf done in the next couple of days

Maybe get to enter him in the painting competition too

Then my fellowship will be complete, and I'll be doing a nice display base for them

Also, I love the new-look site, well done guys!

Aragorn looks very handsome indeed.

And here's Gandalf

Not the best, but I'm still happy with him

I wanted to get him done for the painting competition :roll:

Anyway, that's my Moria Fellowship complete, so hopefully by next weekend I'll have their display base done

Aragorn looks cracking, you paint the eyes very well to

Yes agreed you've done a great job with Aragorn - its a really difficult to sculpt and you've made it look fantastic. I like your Gandalf too. You are really making these mediocre plastic sculpts very special indeed.

Nice job on Gandalf, his eyes look really good.

Thanks again for all the compliments and encouragement guys

Quick update, here's the display base for the Fellowship, Moria themed (quite plain yes, but it was my first one, and anyway, y'know..Moria) Anyway, I'm still very happy with it

I used the warhammer modular movement tray and some air-drying claw, however I probably won't do that again, the claw is a bit awkward to cut the holes in and it shrinks when drying :-X

I might try some thin mdf and drill the holes out, then tacking it to a piece of hardboard?

Next up is probably a start on my uruk scout army, Lurtz' Hunters (with dying Boromir!)

You've become one of my favorite painters sir! I always like the look of a scout army, especiallly the Uruks with Merry and Pippin. I know theyre gonna look good

Nice looking fellowship. The hobbits are especially realistic.

I like the fellowship, they look very realistic! I also would love to see the uruk warband, because I love the look of the uruks that captured the Hobbits

Fantastic fellowship there! Well done!!

Thanks everyone

The encouragement from a great and friendly community like this is definitely a big boost!

I'm really looking forward to the scout army, I'm currently prepping the models for painting now

But anyway, look what arrived in the post today!

The One Ring! Absolutely beautiful ring and chain, looks just like the movie one! I'm so happy with it

John Wayne · **Posted:** Sat Nov 24, 2012 7:30 pm

Looks like the real thing to me. I bet you sleep with it on lol

Here's Lurtz and his boys ready to go

If you look closely you'll also notice Ugluk and Dying Boromir!

Woooooaah been a long time since I was active here

I've been extremely busy with school, but I have gotten some stuff done, so here they are

Three of the Uruk scouts, I did these three in a (very small) batch, rather than my one-by-one usual technique. Very happy with them, I love the muted leathers, and the uruk skin is so cool :-D

And that's the uruk with Pippin

That one was so nice to paint, great sculpt, and the colours on Pippin break up the leathers nicely.

And here's a group shot

You'll notice of course that I haven't based them yet, for the sole reason that I want all the base colours to be the same, so I'll just base them all at the same time. And here's what I'll leave you with, the bases, ready to go:

And the rest of the army, patiently waiting for my paintbrush
