Fellowship of the Ring (Knightmodels range, 72mm.)
« on: 15 February 2013, 11:01:27 AM »
These are not for gaming, I'm afraid ;).
I'm getting the Knightmodels minis for this. I'm purchasing the Fellowship (when they are released and my economy can afford that), so in the (far distant) future maybe I can make a vignettte/diorama/stand/whatever.
Some time ago I painted Gandalf:

And now here you have Boromir:



I had a problem, the right arm was missing and I had to replace it with green stuff.



The cape was tricky, but I tried to solve it the better I could.



Here you have the whole story:

I'll keep you updated with the rest of the Fellowship (I really hope they don't drop the license as they did with Star Wars! :-X)

Wow  :o I am really loving these! Gandalf's robes are fantastic as is his facial expression. Boromir is just outstanding, I can't believe you sculpted an arm for him, it looks really good as does his cloak, I really like the free hand painting on it.



Just fantastic work, keep them coming (when they are released or your bank account can afford them of course  ;) )

Cheers,
 Damien


btw, if no one has checked out the 'Future Wars board' in a while, Suber has an amazing RT Ork thread going there.

Thank you very much for your kind words! :) The publicity is most welcome as well :D.
I've purchased Aragorn, he will be next (as soon as I can pull some ongoing projects out of my workbench...)

Fantastic work indeed! I love how you did Boromir's shield, and Gandalf's face and robes look really natural.

Good to hear, I can't wait to see Aragorn painted up. It is easy to advertise your projects 'cause they are all pretty awesome.

Well, it's been quite a time since last mini, but here I am again with a misterious Ranger of the North, usually known simply as as Strider...
The face didn't have a beard sculpted...



...so you must paint at least the shade of one.

These pics are awful even by my usual crappy standards. I promise, the mini looks much, much better in the flesh:





Aragorn is wearing Boromir's bracers, so this mini is set in The Two Towers' timeline. I plan to make some kind of vignette when I have the complete Fellowship, but this will make a time incoherence problem :?. Ahhh, it's hard to be obsessive meticulous... :D

All my mumblings about the mini can be seen here:

Next one will be the pointy-eared guy!

Great work, Suber!
 :-*

The addition of the beard is a good thing, in my opinion, as without it he reminded me more of Grima Wormtongue....

Excellent work! I used to dream of having every Fellowship set out there in all the scales.....then Peter Jackson came along and I realised my mortgage and chidlren might be more important..... :D
