Post subject:	COTWT's WIP- Tom Bombadil
Having got back into the hobby a few months back I thought it was time I sorted out some of my atrociously painted collection (thick paint applied with a heavy brush isn't a winning combination). I'm beginning with Men of Numenor, the very first ones I painted 8/9 years ago. The painting was a nuisance for me back then and I'm not an expert at it now (not got a very steady hand for painting) but its interesting to share them regardless. And here's my to do list. Badly Painted Figures: Good Characters 4x Aragorn 2x Aragorn Mounted 1x Arwen Mounted 1x Balin 1x Beregond 1x Bilbo Baggins 2x Boromir 1x Cirion 1x Denethor 1x Elrond 1x Eomer 1x Eomer Mounted 2x Eowyn 3x Faramir 2x Faramir Mounted 2x Frodo 1x Galadriel 1x Gamling 1x Gamling Mounted 1x Gandalf the Grey 2x Gandalf the White 1x Gandalf the White Mounted 1x Gil-Galad 2x Gimli 1x Ghan-Buri-Ghan 1x Glorfindel 1x Haldir 1x Hama 1x Imrahil 1x King of the Dead 2x Legolas 3x Merry 1x Madril 2x Pippin 1x Radagast the Brown 2x Sam 1x Theoden 1x Theoden Mounted 1x Theodred Mounted Good Warriors 9x Army of the Dead 3x Citadel Guard 1x Dwarf Captain 3x Guard of the Fountain Court 16x High Elves 1x Men of Gondor (needs repairing) 1x Minas Tirith Captains 2x Minas Tirith Banners 1x Minas Tirith Banners Mounted 36x Minas Tirith Warriors 6x Rangers of Gondor 1x Rohan Banners 1x Rohan Banners Mounted 30x Rohan Riders 12x Rohan Warriors 3x Rohan Royal Guard 1x Rohan Royal Guard Mounted 6x Wood Elves Evil Characters 1x Durburz 1x Gollum 1x Gorbag 1x Gothmog 1x Gothmog Mounted 1x Grima Wormtongue 1x Grishnakh 1x Lurtz 1x Saruman the White 1x Shagrat 1x Sharkey 1x Sharku Mounted 1x Suladan 1x Ugluk Evil Warriors 2x Cave Troll 2x Easterling Captains 1x Easterling Banners 6x Easterlings 2x Haradrim Captains 1x Haradrim Banners 48x Haradrim 2x Hasharin 1x Mahud Chieftain 3x Mordor Orc Captains 3x Mordor Orc Banners 1x Mordor Orc Shaman 60x Mordor Orcs 1x Mordor Troll Chieftain 1x Mordor Troll 37x Moria Goblins 1x Mumakil 2x Uruk-Hai Captains 1x Uruk-Hai Banners 40x Uruk-Hai Warriors 8x Uruk-Hai Berserkers 3x Uruk-Hai Bowmen 3x Uruk-Hai Crossbowmen 16x Uruk-Hai Siege Crewmen 14x Warg Riders Scenery 1x Jungle Trees 1x LOTR Terrain Set 1x Mines of Moria Terrain 3x Ruins of Middle-Earth 1x Warhammer 40K Ruins Unpainted Figures: Good Characters 1x Damrod 1x Elladan and Elrohir 1x Eomer 1x Eowyn 1x Erkenbrand 1x Erkenbrand Mounted 1x Faramir 1x Farmer Maggot + Dogs 1x Halbarad 1x King of the Dead 1x Merry 1x Pippin 1x Radagast the Brown 1x Treebeard Good Warriors 1x Ent 6x Knights of Dol Amroth 6x Rangers of the North Evil Characters 1x Mouth of Sauron 1x Mouth of Sauron Mounted 8x Ringwraiths 2x Witch-King Evil Warriors 20x Easterlings Scenery 1x Ruins of Osgiliath 2x Warhammer Fortress Gate 5x Warhammer Fortress Tower 5x Warhammer Fortress Wall 1x Warhammer Siege Tower Completed Figures: Good 1x Aragorn 1x Boromir 1x Elendil 1x Frodo 1x Gandalf the Grey 1x Gimli 1x Isildur 1x Legolas 7x Men of Gondor 1x Merry 12x Minas Tirith Warriors 1x Pippin 12x Rohan Warriors 1x Sam 1x Tom Bombadil Evil 1x Gollum 11x Moria Goblins 8x Ringwraiths 1x Sauron (bought already painted) 8x Uruk-Hai Warriors 2x Witch-King Scenery 2x LOTR Terrain Set 1x Ruins of Middle-Earth ---- Here's a random figure in its old state (I picked the worst of the lot, honest): And the new one and a group shot: Would've added some static grass but I've not got any just at the minute.

Post subject:	Re: COTWT's WIP (Pic Heavy)
your new version shows huge improvement the only thing i could suggest is maybe use some ogryn flesh on the skin just to define the face a little more. Overall tho well done

Post subject:	Re: COTWT's WIP (Pic Heavy)
Thanks. The improvement seems bigger than it actually is because I'm repainting oldest first rather than newest. For the face I ran out of Bestial Brown when I did those so couldn't use that as the basecoat like I originally hoped. Tried to mix up something similar and it ended up being way too light in the end.

Very nice

Post subject:	Re: COTWT's WIP
Thanks Hilbert. My progress slowed slightly because of the weather plus the fact that dettoling seems to take me several days. Anyway, some warriors of Minas Tirith Old: New: Group: Faces look a bit odd close up but they look half decent from a distance. Found the Shield design really difficult to do as well. I've also put up a list of stuff that I've got to work through in the coming months (can't wait to get the fortress up and running but I need to make some stairs e.t.c for it so I'll hold off for the moment). Coming up soon I've got some ruins, Moria Goblins and a Cave Troll.

Post subject:	Re: COTWT's WIP
Thanks for looking. I'm trying to repaint the very worst (and usually oldest) first. The improvements will look slightly less dramatic the more I go on I expect. Got 2 things today, some Ruins (left the big arch piece out because it wouldn't fit in my dettol pot) and Moria Goblins (probably my best to date). Didn't bother with the old shot for the ruins, but originally they were caked in paint (I'm never going back to a Black undercoat for a predominantly white model ever again). The new shot: Old Goblins: New: The Goblin groupshots blurred so I've left them out. Got loads more coming up soon hopefully, I've got some Orcs on the go and Rohan and Haradrim sprayed and ready to go too.

There is quite a big improvement on the Goblin. Good job! (I rember doing the same thing last year) EDITED out the '?' I accidentally put in.

Big improvement on the Moria Goblin. Keep them coming

Post subject:	Re: COTWT's WIP
Tidied up some more old models but my motivation dipped slightly and the men of Rohan were hanging around nearly finished for a couple of weeks. Apologies if the pics are a bit big, they changed the size editing thing on photobucket and I can't be bothered to get to grips with the new thing now. Old Version New (still need to tidy up the Shield decorations a bit) Group And some Terrain pieces (my favourite to paint as they can be done reasonably well quite quickly) I've got some nearly finished Mordor Orcs on the way and have begun work on Uruk-Hai and more ruins. I've got some exams coming up next month and I'm starting to run out of some paints e.t.c so it might be a while before I get those up.

Post subject:	Re: COTWT's WIP
Thanks and yes, loads still to do. Unfortunately the recent poor weather and exam revision have set me back with cleaning up the old models. I've only got 12 Haradrim undercoated and the rest still have old paint on them. I have managed to finish off some Uruk-Hai though. Old New Group

Post subject:	Re: COTWT's WIP
Well I had hoped to have cleaned up just about all my models by now but the weather means I'm probably only about halfway through at best. The models in the picture below are at various stages, as the plastics need another go to be sufficiently clean. The metals, bar the mounted ones, are mostly good to go now. I did manage to paint a few ruins though. I was going for an Gondor style colour with these (partly to practice for the ruins of Osgiliath that I've bought). Currently working on the fellowship (not got a wide choice as only a few models are based and undercoated and the weather isn't good enough to prepare any others), beginning with the 4 hobbits.

Post subject:	Re: COTWT's WIP- Gondor Style Ruins
Very nice ruins. And might I add, the Uruk-hai look a lot better. Not a fan of the bright green bases. Glad you changed that.

Post subject:	Re: COTWT's WIP- Gondor Style Ruins
Nice scenery Good luck w/ the clean-ups. The green base remonds me of combathex.

Those scenery pieces look excellent!
