My Treemoss fantasy project
« on: May 02, 2011, 03:46:25 PM »
I just wanted to show off my old river troll I just repainted from childhood. I kept her in a box all those years as I knew that the model could come in handy some day.

I rebased her, gave her some greenstuff with a nose- and boob-job and a tail. All trolls should have a tail in my opinion but most companies seem to totaly miss this so I corrected the model.
I intend to use her with the Songs of... rules

You have to forgive me for putting all this pictures on the same figure here but I cant help my selves. The world has to know…

VERY COOL & different take on the Old Beasty...I like the skin tones you chose. VERY NICELY DONE!

Superb. I have never picked these trolls up as they were too expensive when new and now they go for too high prices on ebay  :-[

One day my precious  ;)

The stone trolls were rather nice too from back then.

Great work on the scales on the river troll Engel - I too rather like the colour choices you've gone for - top work!

Thank you all for your kind words. I guess I need to find her a bridge to lurk under now…

Love it.  Brave choice of colours and didn't it pay off!

Got the old marsh troll here and the new river trolls plastic box, but have been just thinking green. Going to go out on a brave tangent now thanks to you.

Dave, if you want non-standard fantasy troll inspiration google John Bauer, a swedish artist from the early 1900s. Awesome fantasy drawings, done for various swedish folk tales!

My inspiration of the choice of colors to this troll should be familiar with all Swedish people( I think it’s written in the Swedish law books... ;))  and maybe some Dutch people?

Well this may not be a troll but at least she is in the picture, tracking some no-good kids...


The children I think are from Hasslefree.
 
What I should use them for I don’t know right now, but you can guess they’re up to no good, littering the forest with breadcrumbs, demolishing some poor old lady’s gingerbread house or eating three bowls of bear-oatmeal.

They are wicked I say.

As a poor farmer your life is not getting any easier when those foul goblins running about and stealing your crops.
What you need are a couple of these monsters. A big angry mastiff will scare the goblins away and the crops will be yours without any more troubles.
