Been a while since I've had a go at the challenges. Heres a proof pic, might get chance to paint one of these.

Please do Beruthiel DMS, I'd love to see that painted with your excellence

Sorry Elf lover I was being overly generous with my time i think. I won't have time to paint Beruthiel i don't think. I'll certainly try tho. The Aragorn in the pic is almost finished.

Ok heres my entry. I resisted the urge to do a scenic base and just went with a little experiment with NMM instead.

Looks amazing!

Well, I'll just take my hat and coat and leave... here's my effort, anyhow:

DMS' Aragorn is simply stunning, but nevertheless, since I was painting several heroes this month anyhow, I will use the opportunity to take part in my first ever monthly challenge with Gimli on a scenic base. Here's my proof pic:

Here is a WIP photo:

...and here's another WIP pic of the scenic base:

I'll post a pic of the final result shortly...

Yee gads DMS that is simply gorgeous! I don't know what I'm more impressed by, the paint job or the fact you turned it around in a week! absolutely stunning work as always, flawless paint job and the NMM just looks incredible - truly inspirational! My entry just ran screaming into the night :-)

Also great work on Glorfindel Barks, very nice effort, the hands are particularly good

Great job DMS, the nmm looks fantastic. :yay:

I kinda had to do the opposite of you, I had to do a scenic base instead of nmm due to the fact that the only decent looking hero I had was Galadriel.
The actual model itself wasn't in the best condition, so it looks a bit grainy, so I tried to make for it with the base.

Finished mini

I'll post more pics in my wip thread when I get a chance. Good luck everyone!

A Mumak would be eligible right? If so, I might give it a shot.

EDIT: shoot, this is the october challenge. Oh well, I'll throw in some Haradrim to make the Mumak eligible for the november challenge

Great work being shown here,looking forward to voting.

Nice Aragorn Kev, would love to see Queen Beruthiel painted.

Great Aragorn Kev with nice touches of the stubble and free hand cloak. I love the jewel and I know you've mentioned this before but what is your technique please ?
I have an idea for a future project to incorporate something similar and to get that jewelled look would aid no end.

Thanks gandlaf - Guide for painting Gemstones

Bilbo · **Posted:** Thu Oct 24, 2013 3:01 pm

The gemstone guide is seriously useful. Absolutely beautiful effect. I feel inspired to bling out my Gil Galad's shield! I would not be surprised if successful, that the rest of the Noldor will have a similar trip to De Beers!

Gandlaf the Grey · **Posted:** Sun Oct 27, 2013 6:56 pm

Thanks Kev, that's a big help.

"There is one dwarf yet in Moria who still draws breath!" - in other words, here's my finished Gimli on a scenic base:

Harfoot · **Posted:** Mon Oct 28, 2013 4:52 pm

Nice work Celevue, like the weapon handle on the base

Gandlaf the Grey · **Posted:** Mon Oct 28, 2013 11:46 pm

Great base Celevue. I have to admit I didn't realise it was a sculpted face at the first view !!! But now I don't know how I missed it....
