At first when I saw only the painted piece I thought it was only a balrog modified and instead is all sculpted,wonderful piece and very well sculpted :yay:

WOW! Those are amazing! Did you make those?

Ukfreddybear · **Posted:** Mon Feb 03, 2014 1:51 am

Those? I only made one. And that took me nearly a year on and off. Thanks for the comments everyone

That would be awesome to own. I was describing this model to a friend and I had to refer to balrog, Serpent, Alien Queen, Super mega awesomeness in order to correctly define what it was... Truly a masterpiece.

As I have said elsewhere this literally is my favorite sculpt ever! No exaggeration. You sir are remarkably talented.

That Ballhog is simply stunning! Another great sculpt!

Wow. Humbling comments. Thanks guys. It's nice to be in a position to help others get minis they've always wanted. It's arguably quite an expensive option, but at least it is an option. It also helps having an awesome painter bringing them to life once my part is done.

After seeing the model entered into the painting competition I just had to come on here and comment - that is absolutely exceptional, it's a truly brilliant piece and seeing the WIP pics is simply fascinating. You're a very talented little bear :-)

This is absolutely stunning..! You never cease to amaze me, and it seems to be only getting better and better (I didn't expect this possible, but apparently it is!).

Magnificent! :yay:

Awesome Dave. Fantastic work!

Ukfreddybear · **Posted:** Wed Feb 12, 2014 10:46 pm

Not bad for a sculptor you mean?

Dead Marsh Spectre · **Posted:** Wed Feb 12, 2014 10:48 pm

Haha, not bad at all mate

I haven't commented on it yet but your Gothmog is jaw dropping!! Phenomenal work. However long it took, that is some serious payoff! Unreal paint job by DMS also.

Very impressive Treebeard as well. I'm constantly inspired by you and many others on this site and am driven to improve myself by all the amazing work. It's down to you specifically that I've taken my first (very tentative) steps into sculpting!! I even picked up a set of those flexible tipped tools after viewing your vid on assembling the Great Beast. So thanks and hopefully one day I can be 1% as good as you!!

Clay shapers can help even the most novice of Sculptors achieve great results. Everyone has to start somewhere!

Keep this up Dave and there will be no need to use Kev to do your painting

JamesR · **Posted:** Thu Feb 13, 2014 12:12 am

Is Treebeard weeping for the fallen tree at his feet? Lol very impressive painting sir
