And fresh off the painting table Lurtz and the long awaited berserkers! Sorry it's taken so long to get these done.

Finished four more berserkers today. Another four to go! Also on the painting table, 10 uruk-hai crossbowmen.

Thanks, I'm glad you think so. I'm happy I got them finished. The other 4 are nearly done. That should be it for berserkers for now.

For tonight's offering I give you Uglúk, captain of the Uruk-hai scouts who captured Merry and Pippin and the first of the crossbow Uruks.

I've been away from this project for some time but have revisited it recently, taking a different direction to my Uruk-Hai.

Inspired by my local landscape and the hundreds of barrows dotting the South Dorset Ridgeway, my gaze has turned toward the Barrow Downs of Middle Earth and eventually to the Shire.

First up a small round barrow, inspired by one I visited at the weekend. Many more to follow, including a long barrow and a round barrow both with interiors.

Here's the real thing...


And here's my version of one...

Very nice, sir.
Totally believable with just the right amount of 'tuftular titivation'*.

Nice round barrow. I am looking forward to seeing a few more. Will your long barrow be based on a famous one or will it just be a generic long barrow?

Some really beautiful work!  I'm in the middle of diving back into my own LOTR collection, so it's great to see others working on theirs.   :D
