Some nice conversions Salem. You certainly have an aptitude for putty pushing. I only have one criticism, which I only mention because you are good, and that is that the cloaks are a little bit flat. Capturing flowing cloth is an art in itself, and one that I myself still haven't perfected to the standard I would like. Resting cloth should have more folds in it, or to simulate speed, have the cloak flapping behind a little in the breeze. I appreciate that you've had to try and disguise the join between the elf cloak and Rohan rider.

Converting minis is how I started out. Now I'm doing private commisions.

Keep up the good work.

I know that I have poor coats, but it was hard to connect to two other
figures. Surely I am happy for the constructive opinion of you ukfreddybear eminent sculptor

Bad pictures because today the weather is grim

Wow, the conversions in this thread are stunning! These are easily the best Elnaith I've ever seen, they look simply splendid! All these great conversions going around are inspiring me to get to work on my own! Keep up the good work!

Very nice work. :yay:

Would you mind going over your color pallet with us. I can not get my tree colors to turn out as convincing as yours.
Thanks

What all did you make the ent out of? It looks like green stuff, hot glue, and branches from the plastic ent set?
