And now so do I, well a painted one at least ! LOL The box has a wide array of models in it, so I'm picking out interesting models to work on, while I slowly chip away at the bulk of Uruk's and Goblins, and I really like the cave troll model, so this was the next to get finished.
I've also got five Ringwraiths on foot finished, while I finish the two on horseback, and the one on Fell Beast.
Expect a lot more LOTR models as I work my way through, but I may get some other stuff finished every now and then to break up all the same colour painting ! LOL So until next time stay safe and have fun !
Cheers Dave
Good progress, Dave! :-) All really nice and that troll is impressive!
ReplyDeleteThank you John, they've been fun to do, even if it has taken a lot of time on research ! LOL
DeleteSo good Dave and this brings back some fond memories as these were some of the first models I painted when I was dipping my toe in the hobby. Can't wait to see more.
ReplyDeleteThank you Michael, glad I could give you a fond trip down memory lane, never really painted a lot of LOTR models before, but everything I learnt doing the Star Wars models on matching colours has proved very useful ! LOL
DeleteFantastic work , I love the skin tones on the troll, it looks awesome!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Suber, I was very pleased with the skin tones, but might have upped the contrast on the under belly too much ! LOL
DeleteThat troll looks great, are you gonna keep him?
ReplyDeleteThank you SD, all the LOTR models I'm showing are for sale, they are just easier to sell painted, if they aren't ludicrously priced ! LOL
DeleteOh no. I don't need any motivation to paint any more LotR figures thanks Dave, LOL!!! Nor buy any for that matter!!! Lovely work, especially on the Cave Troll.
ReplyDeleteThank you Simon, I'm sure I'll be back to the Star Wars realm before long, as I just can't stay away ! LOL
DeleteThese all look great, Dave! They're classic metal sculpts that I painted in my first go around in the hobby. The Cave Troll is a more challenging mini than you would think. His lighter skin tone isn't easy to match to the film but you've done a great job of that.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jeff, always interesting to hear where people started in the hobby, for me it was the Orc's Lair by grenadier many years ago ! LOL You're not wrong on the belly colour, I think I went too dark on the shade, but needed to show the shapes for the photographs ! LOL
DeleteGreat work, especially on the troll! What a nice sculpt, love its dynamic pose.
ReplyDeleteThank you snapfit, I always thought it was the best Troll sculpt they did, as some of the later ones looked awkward.
Deletegreat looking miniatures!
ReplyDelete(now stop tempting me further...) 😁
Thank you Stewart, don't worry the next post is totally for my benefit only, but the one after, you may only want to have quick glance ! LOL
DeleteSome of my favorite characters from the movies, Ring Wraiths and Cave Trolls! Look forward to see what else you paint from the mystery box! :D
ReplyDeleteThank you Brian, hopefully I'll have a few more bits to show that you like as well, including all the mounted Ringwraiths ! LOL
DeleteAll great jobs, Dave - you're reminding me here that I need to get to work on more of my own LotR figures!
ReplyDeleteThank you Azazael, funny you should say that, as when I was looking for reference pictures for the Uruk Hai Berserkers yours came up ! LOL
