Since moving in to this place a couple of years ago, there was something that I noticed on the first day but have not had time to get around to....until today.......
(http://i1033.photobucket.com/albums/a416/blindbeggarminiatures/ent%201%20004_zpsvfsnmko7.jpg)
...a 1:1 scale Ent !
The shape has always been there staring at me, just begging to be done..
As I had to stay in all day waiting for a delivery, I thought: 'Why not?'
Progress pictures will follow as I get closer to the finished article.
:D
Hrrrrummmmm.....

It looks like a massive snake, and frankly, it's freaking me out! :o
(Like that one from the Jungle Book, I forget it's name...)
So I guess that means you did good!
-
lol Paul I have only one suggestion - glow in the dark paint.

Are the rumours that you were discovered in the garden chanting dressed in robes at midnight unfounded? :D

It is a WIP at the moment, although I have done a bit more since taking the picture.
Lets hope it freaks you more when it is finished.
:D

I am under strict orders that it needs to 'blend in' so that may not be possible.
I like the idea, though.
;)
(It may glow a little as the iris' are glass so there may be a little refection from the solar lights.... :D).

You shall find out in October.
;D

I opened this thinking "i swear to god if this is a picture of a tree......"
damn you. lol

That was not my intention.
Honest.
I am working on it and have done a little more to it.
I shall post another picture tomorrow showing the progress so far.

You are indeed a certifiable nutter ;)
A fun thing to do though lol
-
Absolutely brilliant Paolo.
A proper Green Man - and a little green man to boot!
You are completely bonkers, but, well, you know... That fine line between madness and genius ;)
lol
-
Thanks, chaps.
:D
I have finished the painting on it, but I am off to meet Bibbles for 'lunch' so I will take piccies later.
I had better hope it does not rain before I get back and varnish it..... ::)
-
That is so creepy...but very well done
-
There is a fine line between genius and certifiable loon. I think you have crossed that line soo far that the line is now actually just a dot.
I am however not entirely sure what side you have crossed to...
-
Hahaha, you mad bugger.
The cheeky chap looks a little stoned for a tree lol
You will be rebasing to match the rest of the minis right? ;)
Cheers
Matt
-
You do know it should have gold eyes...
cheers
James
-
Great idea and execution, will be wonderful to see the end result :D
Maybe you should give him/it a moss beard? :)
-
Looking good ... but how will you base him?
-
I really like, hope to do something similar in future!
-
Magnificent. So far around the bend it's come round the other side. :D Truly one of a kind.
-
Thanks, chaps.
:D
I finished painting it and it blends in much better now....

Hope he does not freak the neighbours out....too much.
;)
-
Brilliant! Lol
-
Brilliant.. looks like ET crossed with the Fly :D
-
Hmm, looks more "Realms of Chaos" than "Lord Of The Rings" to me! Pretty cool either way though. :)
-
Well bugger me! That is brilliant! Mad, but brilliant! :-* lol
-
The eyes are still the wrong colour...
-
I don't know about an Ent I think it looks more like ET, or E Tree if you will. Thank you I'm here all week (I'll get my coat) :D
-
Thanks, chaps (well, some of you anyway).
:D
The official verdict is not so good, though.
My missus is absolutely freaked out by the thing and has told me, in no uncertain words, that it has to go.... :'( :'( :'(
Not the tree, the 'face'.
Shall be busy with more miliputt tomorrow, I reckon..... ;)
(Glad I toof pictures before I have to kill it. ;)).

lol
That's only cos you came home pissed on Thursday ;D

I was 'informed' about that on Thursday.
lol
The tree has only been mentioned today... ::)
-
Aaaw.. Come on!
My family would be delighted if I pulled a stunt like that (not that I have the skill, but...). :(

Stick some plastic ivy around it to hide him. Just dull the greens down a bit. You can always have an eye peering through, just enough to say 'I know you wanted rid of me. I'm watching you". That won't freak her out! lol
What you need is a wireless speaker placed near the tree so that you can play maniacal whispering sounds, sort of like Gollum having an argument with himself. She'll laugh at that. :D

Are you trying to get me smothered in my sleep?
>:D >:D
I have already altered it but am trying to leave a little trace of its soul behind......well, as much as I can get away with, that is...... ::)

It probably wouldn't help if we all sent emails pleading your case but if you think it might... :D
