This is a "fun" entry for golden demon, I don't expect to get anywhere with it, it is painted to look like a guy I know in real life who's nickname is infact actually piefinder and it is the spitting image of him so in that i have succeed in my goal :D
Base rim needs finishing and I need to sort out the plaque other than that it is finished.
Its also the first and probably only LotR model i will ever paint, although it was a lot of fun to paint :D
its also my first ever attempt at tartan....

Well done on the plaid. The base is excellent as well.

Stunning work :-* :-*
I like the pie in the tree lol
cheers

Very well painted and a nice little vignette. I do have a comment about the tartan though, I think the squares where red and blue cross would look better if they were actually crossing, rather than the blue overlapping the red, like so (the purplish stripes):

Otherwise the tartan looks very nice, especially for such a small model! :-*
Edit: picture didn't seem to work, this is another example 8)

Great PJ and vignette.
-
Heh, didn't spot that pie first. =D Nice one Damien, really like it - but agree with Pil on the tartan - even though I can't see his pic.
-
Love it :-* :-*
Though also have to agree on the tartan ::)
-
WONDERFULLY WELL DONE! The mini, base, & the implied story line are all FANTASTIC!

As they say in these 'ere parts, that's proper 'ansome my looovvvveeeeeeeeeeerr!
Nice.
:)

Thanks a lot guys, all in all a lot more positives than a certain comment left on Librarium Online about the base being boring and not in keeping with GW intellectual property which sort of offended me a tad on both counts. But I rant.
In response to everyone. Thanks for the kind words.
In response to Pil. Thanks mate, I will try and remedy that tonight, I like you also felt there was something that just didn't look right about it but I couldn't put my finger on it.
For those interested as well my Great Unclean One made it into the top 20 for the week, happy days! http://www.coolminiornot.com/topweek (http://www.coolminiornot.com/topweek)

If you don't want to answer my next question then feel free not to, but what sort of numpty would even bother to mention something like that. I'm assuming the comment wasn't constructive in any way?
cheers

That's no moon... it's a space station! Did you link to the right item?
-
me for mentioning his post? or him posting it in the first place?
If the former, I like to vent my anger far better than bottling it up.
If the later, its the internet and everyone gets their say? He's 16 and thinks he knows everything? He didn't look at the pictures properly? He has just undergone a full frontal lobotomy? His daddy didn't buy him that pony when he was younger? He truely thought it was boring? I really have no idea James. He did however say he liked the painting on the model so it wasn't all bad.
I could understand the comment if is was just a base with a rock and a little flock, just seemed totally unfounded to me, although I do look at this from a subjective stand point. But I spoke my mind on the subject and have moved on

Beautiful paint-job! And nice pie!
I have no tips about painting tartan, you painting is light-years ahead of mine. I also have nothing to say about grumpy prats who don't deserve to look at such gorgeous minis! It really is a treat to behold, I hope you do very well.

sorry phreedh wrong link I was sending that to a mate, edited original post with correct link.

It was him for posting, I personally love the stuff you do 8)
Jealous maybe or more likely an oik :D
cheers

Thoroughly enjoyable! I didn't spot the pie at first either... ::)

a certain comment left on Librarium Online about the base being boring and not in keeping with GW intellectual property
That COULD have been said in jest... the base IS void of SKULLZZZ and CHOAZ EMBLAMZ and TENTICLAS and MOTARBIEKZ! Thus it is not in keeping with GW IP, and could be seen as boring if the content of above mentioned things are required for enjoyment.
Right? o_o ;D

Is GW and intellectual like military and intelligence?! ;)
Lurverly job - reminds me a little of that Brueghel painting where the food has legs - you just need to add a little suckling pig sauntering by with a carving knife and fork conveniently tucked into its side!
Edit - Actually just looked at it - seems like a darker vision than the light heatered vignette you've created!

Thanks mate, possibly the former mate, as I once pointed out a competition entry of his still had the mould lines down the middle of the space marine shoulder pads at which point he tried to make out it was infact a shadow.

Thanks matey

Suberb paintjob - great job on the tartan, especially on such a small model.

Reading the comment on Librarium Online I think you misunderstood his intention and may have missed his "(Sarcasm)" comment. I think he was mainly being snarky because of the way the Golden Demon awards are run nowadays, rather than your model. Here's the link anyway if anyone wants to think along 8)

I didn't spot the pie at first either, and your Great Unclean One has a very deserved spot in the best picks of the week 8)
