I remember these!
Welcome to the One-Ring.

The dwarves could use a wash or two. If washes are hard to come by, then add water to the paint to make your own wash.
I think the ratio is 2:1 water to paint. I'm not sure. Test it on a test model before you use it on the painted ones.
Good luck on your work!

I really love your Balin!

As far as the Crossbow conversion goes, I love the idea, and the model looks like a good choice - however, the crossbow itself is rather large, and looks a little out of scale.

EDIT: The bases on those Rohirrim look cool as well.

Thanks! Glad you like it, sorry about the poor pic quality its getting dark over here in ireland and i had to put the flash on, which just makes everything look shiny and terrible! :sad:

Yea I was hoping that the rather large size of that xbow was all just in my head! I have so many of these xbows too, theyre from an empire handgunner kit!

You are doing some really nice work on these!!

Ardboe · **Posted:** Wed Aug 15, 2012 10:14 pm

Thanks!

To be honest that fort is still in the exact same stage as it was when I took that photo! Found some real nice bits of wood that would make great parapets the other day though so I may have another crack at it! :twisted:

on that note, does anyone know of a good place to bulk buy grey model paint? And what glue is best to stick wood to polystyrene ? Super or pva?
