Lots of fantastic entries here! I really like MacGothmogs, its really creepy! I am posting this here, It would have been my entry, but I didn't remember to take an unpainted picture, so feel free to dismiss this! Plus I think I may have misread the focus of the competition because I thought it was a Barry White contest. (for those who don't know who Barry White is, look here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_White) I only realised this too late and as such I painted my barrow wight in a suit with a microphone!! DOH! But its the first mini I have started and finished in years ![]() ![]() Thanks |

![]() Maybe not the best angle but just waiting for the green stuff to cure then I've only got a little bit more sculpting to do to fix up a few rough patches but I'm a lot happier with the results this time. Can't wait to get on to painting him! |

Another quick update. Not much to do now, finished green-stuffing to the best of my ability, will just clean up the messy bits. Here's some pics of him on his base, just need to paint the rim. Comments please. ![]() ![]() Cheers, Pinky P.S. Any tips on how to reattach a broken sword?! I'm afraid all that hacking took its toll on the finer appendages ![]() |

Pinky... nice job... it's gonna look super I'm sure. Great job on the base by the way... creative and earthy... a great show base... Um, swords... golly, the small weapons I find in plastic can hold with a bit of super glue, I've done this recently with some shipped ebay items that swords broke during shipment. However, with metal... I dunno... depends on the piece for me, but I use a 1/32 bit to drill in out and a straight pin (yes, the kind used by a tailor or seamstress) cut at the right length, then super glue.... gotta get the pin holes perfectly matched or you'll have to putty some to clean up the join... |

Excellent base Pinky Beecroft (though the sand could do with one more drybrush/highlight) and nice work with the putty! ![]() |

@ nosce, ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() @ pinky, I am liking this conversion a lot more than the other one, it is look awesome. I agree that the base could do with one more dry brush, but the overall idea is very good. ![]() ![]() @ valpas, I hope you find the time to paint it up, the more the merrier. ![]() |

Thanks for the comments guys, appreciate them. Here's my final submission, after a lot of cursing ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Don't know what I was trying to achieve on the metal parts but I wanted to give just a hint of metal so I washed over it with very dilute white, it looks a bit flat in the pictures but in real life it looks OK. It has been quite an interesting experience to say the least! ![]() 1. Don't bite off more than you can chew! 2. I'm very good at destroying things, not so good at putting them back together! 3. Seriously though I learnt a lot about how putty works and how to approach sculpting. Overall I'm fairly happy though for next months challenge I might take it a bit easier, I don't think Dave will appreciate me hacking one of his tree giants to pieces ![]() Comments are appreciated. Cheers, Pinky P.S. I realised after taking the pics that I forgot to paint the rim on the base, not sure if you can tell from the pics but it's been fixed now. |

Errr... just though I'd add some pics against a darker background, might be able to see it better. ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Fantastic conversion Pinky Beercroft! And very nice paintjob! Hope you have an article for him in progress!? ![]() edit: Now that I think of it... New Line made him different from the other warriors by giving him a coloured cape (kinda red...). Dunno if you plan to put in some accents related to that? |

The sculpting looks very good, and blends the two miniatures very smoothly. I second the idea of an article on this conversion, it'd be a great addition to the library! ![]() |

I really like the soft and pale green you have used, it is green but not the iridescent green of GW's version. ![]() ![]() |

![]() ![]() Yeah, I didn't want a glow in the dark model, I wanted him to appear more ethereal and ghostly, more like their appearance in the films. I used the green wash with a bit of blue wash added to make an aqua sort of colour and heavily diluted it, soaked the mini in it (not literally!) then re-highlighted it in white. |

Sweet conversion and I like the colours too. Definitely makes him look more ethereal. ![]() |

My entry: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Scenic base, as it is for display and not gaming. I'm not sure what effect I was trying to achieve. At first I went with red robes, but felt it contrasted too strongly with the overall "cold" feel. So I went for a slightly "royal" look, with purple tatters of robes. Also notice the bottom row of scale mail is gold. I went for a dead, graying, but vaguely human skintone, with a very crazy mix of colors. I remember adding green, khaki, red, yellow, gray...lots of different colors. I'm fairly pleased with how this turned out, and glad I actually got my act together and entered for once! ![]() |
