Middle-Earth Campaign: Ithilien 2901

The Corsairs look suitably rakish to moi. I like your choice of colors & your brushwork is always a treat to see. Like our Princess, I think you did a fine job with the eyes...& usually photos can be so cruel to the details. VERY WELL DONE!

Fantastic!! Very nice corsairs but I especially like the troll!! It's great!!

This thread just keeps getting better and better, please keep it coming!

Just to prove I have actually been doing something for my projects here are a couple of new shots.

For my story of Ashandar to continue I want to play a scenario in which Ashandar and his group of refugees try to capture a corsair raider in order to ferry the civilians across the Anduin river. I really wanted to have something like a ferry station or maybe a toll station as a setting for this scenario. So I built this rather decrepit "thing". I originally wanted to have something like the platform at Amon Hen in the movie but usual my sloppy approach (I didn't even use a ruler to get the drawing straight) didn't allow for anything more fancy than this. Oh well, good enough for me.



Nothing fancy really, just a flight of stairs running up to the platform. But I had fun building and painting and that's what Counts for me.



No more zooming in, it might be too embarrassing to find all the little nooks I couldn't reach with the brush.



Another picture showing the ship and ferry station. I'm not sure when I'll be able to actually play the scenario but at least the elements are all here now.



That's it for today.

Lovely work there Lars Said this before,say it again the boat is cracking!

Nice to see the BBQ too. You are a man after my own heart

[dijit]

Cracking stuff as ever Lars!

I noticed the grill in the background as well. But seriously, if this is what you can do without measuring and without a ruler, imagine what you could do with those things.

Great work.

[Mason]

Great stuff!

I like the platform.
All the better that it is perfectly playable as well as a piece of eye candy.

What he said.

More eye candy

Awesome boat! The proportions of sail-to-ship are visually pleasing. The water and ground look great too! I've started to notice some distinct similarities in our styles. It's fun to make stuff, but even more fun to play with it. Is that a signal fire on the waterside? Might be stealing that idea soon.

Sounds like a fun scenario! I always enjoy having non-coms (is that the right term?) as major plot elements. Especially with bad guys breathing down one's neck.

If you're not having fun when your fingertips are covered in paint and superglue, when can you have fun? Well, I guess when the dice start rolling! Looking forward to your battlerep!

I guess that's why I like looking at your pics. 

The signal fire is a little something I made for my first battlereport (the one with the rope bridge).
The ship kind of "just happened" to be built for the corsairs of Umbar. Again a "I have no plan, just a hazy idea, let's see what happens"-thing.

Thank you all for your kind words of encouragement. That's definetely the boost I always need to continue and come back to this project.

Now I'm off to watch the wonderful band "Kadavar" (a band that makes me feel good being from Germany ) and get seriously plastered.

Your Terrain is as LOVINGLY WELL DONE as your FINE miniatures. GREAT WORK!
It's a relief to find some one else who approaches their projects with the same bloody minded tenacity as this Old Man. May your GLORIOUS obsession be eternal.

Alright, back from a really cool concert. Wow. Have a look (even though the recording is from last year)...



Far out. How do I tell my wife that beards are dead sexy?
