So that all of the newly painted miniatures out of the way.
The next items of the painting desk is the classic Haldir and metal Wood Elves with bow. These are at the moment just undercoated black. Hopefully I will finish these sometime during next week.
A mounted Ringwraith is also in the works. This guy has gotten a bit more painting on him, and I will try to finish him along with the wood elves.
Now, on to terrain.
Last autumn I aso built a foldable 4x4 gaming board currently avaiting a gaming mat from DeepCut Studio. I have quite a good selection of terrain for the board, and have plans for some houses and maybe a hobbit hole. The one thing I am missing is a river. After some searching I found a company that sold laser cut terrain templates. They also make river sections, so it was a perfect fit.
I will build up the banks with some styrofoam and gravel. Some paint and and water effects will then do the rest of the business. Pictures of the progress will follow.
My other terrain project is the ruins of Weathertop. This is one of my favourite scenes from the film, and I have wanted to build the ruins for some time. I started with the basic guidelines found in the Fellowship of the Ring Journeybook. I have seen other skilled modellers making excellent versions of it. My own is a bit easier and not as elaborate, but will maybe be easier to game on. We will see. Current status is below:
That's it for now!
