It took me four years, but I got my Fellowship finished!

Excellent work! They’re a worthy looking band!

They're great Joe. I think the Rangers... ranger is spot on for Aragorn, as is Gandalf. Definitely close to how I imagined them the first time round. Sadly, I watched the Bakshi LotR movie at an impressionable age and am surprised every time I see Boromir wearing trousers! Respect due for the freehand White Tree shield.

Four years is a long time to paint 9 figures (or actually 12 if you count the 3 discarded hobbits), but really, aren't these the most important 9 in the collection?

I don't know - that's not far off my top speed!

4 years not bad at all, and nice PJs to boot.

Well done.

Hard to believe those figures are from different companies, they work well together aand as said lovely PJs!

Good work.  I really like the Boromir figure.

Gondor has no trousers. Gondor needs no trousers!





Nice one, Joe. Always good to see people's fellowships. I started one in the early 2000s and still haven't finished mine! I'm short of a Gandalf as I don't much care for the one I obtained at the time. He's clearly a White, and I'd prefer a Grey. :)
