Pure epicness here. Especially the waterbottle and Dwalin.

Me likes your conversions. Dwalin's pose is quite nice. Gandalf looks more realistic, though I also like the unrealistic GW version.

The campfire looks a lot of work too.

Thanks mate!

Nice Dwarfs! I started converting mine today too, also inspired by Monotone_matt. Like the campfire too, and your profile picture! :-D

Baruk Khazad!

Thanks Eothen!

Kili's done!

Quite an intricate mini this one... Beautiful details though. I had to redo the colour shceme several times before I was happy

The odd thing is he's exactly the same size as Oin but he looks like a human... I have come to the conclusion that its a matter of being short and stubby :gimli:

anyway, C&C welcome as always...

I think Kili looks very human too, also a lot like Aragorn! (I'm painting him at the moment and I found it very hard to give him a beard without him looking like King Elessar

) I love the detailing you added and I like how you went for a lighter hood than the 'official' paint job, though I think it'll take some getting used to! Good work, lad

Thanks matt! I'm not really looking at any pictures (GW or film) so I'm just trying to think up some original sid-style colour schemes for all my dwarves (with occasional details from the books)

Ah that's a good way to go about it, I applaud your bravery :yay:

I need reference material or I get insecure

haha

Lol

thanks Matt

Love you colour scheme for kili

I agree. He does look like aragorn

I always need reference too

For some reason, blues alway look good on miniatures (even wit my horrific painting)

Kili looks great, nice beard too :yay:

garmenhord · **Posted:** Thu Jan 10, 2013 10:01 pm

I bet the clothes might be part of why he doesn't look as short the other ones.

Looks great, I like the colour scheme! Sid-style is good-style it seems

KnightyKnight · **Posted:** Thu Jan 10, 2013 11:48 pm

I like the vibrant hood against the dark coat. I could learn a lot from you Mr Sloth

keep up the superb work!

And, being a nosy Knight, any more sculpts to come?

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Fri Jan 11, 2013 1:05 am

That's an excellent rendition Sid. The paimting is practically perfect :yay:

But i think you need to give him his vampire fangs.

Now that you mention it, yeah I suppose it might be actually.

Many thanks good sir knight! :-D

Yep there are mkore sculpts in store... mounted aragorn now jow needs a head, the spider is developing slowly and the great goblin is coming on in leaps and bounds....I also have a notion for Elledan and Elrohir sculpts but I'll have to see...

You are a busy man Sid. I like the conversions. Colour schemes can always be played around with. The original sculpts are good enough to withstand a bit of revision here and there.

Chris GoM · **Posted:** Fri Jan 11, 2013 5:27 pm

I liked the colour schemes you're using on your Companions! :yay:

I like the blue hood too - just like the book

Eaothen-the-brave · **Posted:** Mon Jan 14, 2013 4:41 pm

Well done!

Bright blue, just like in the book!

SidTheSloth · **Posted:** Mon Jan 14, 2013 5:18 pm

Thanks Guys!!!

Just a mini update today... I decided that I could do with working on sculpting beards as I'm not very pleased with the beards I have sculpted so far (such as Dain's)... so I got out my green stuff and started practicing:

they're in order as I got used to doing them... I think no.4's my favourite... which one's yours? :-D
