A Hobbyist's Tale: Using A Brush Again (Update 6 Feb 2014)

Since my old WIP thread is quite large and has experienced some weird post duplication, I decided to just start a new one. Here's the Boromir that I mentioned in another post. As always, I am shooting for a good tabletop standard, but comments and criticism are welcomed!

Awesome Boromir Like the cloak. And love the base on mounted one.

Wow, excellent work

Excellent work - the sleeves are especially good

Well you've definitely hit a good tabletop standard if that's what you were aiming for! This is good stuff, the extra attention to detail like the horn and the damage to the shield make it stand out. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

Yeah that is definitely good tabletop standard!

Thank you all. Now, I have 29 goblins staring at me from the workbench. My goal is to complete them all by month's end.

I kind of liked you old WIP thread and its random post duplifiation. Very equisant Boromir.

Erunion · **Posted:** Fri Feb 17, 2012 3:53 am

Errr....Thanks, I think?! I am afraid that I don't know what "equisant" means.

Meanwhile, those cheeky goblins are calling me names and causing a ruckus on my workbench, but after a 17 hour work-day I am too drained to put them in order.

Raukov · **Posted:** Fri Feb 17, 2012 4:35 am

I don't either! I'm guessing it has something to do with horses (guessing at latin "equis" as the root word) but I've never seen it before. Do elucidate. I hate it when I don't know a word, I'm supposed to be an etymologist.

By the way, Erunion, did you put more work into the face of your footslogging Boromir? It seems to have sharper detail and better highlights, but I can't tell if that's the case of it it's the photo/sculpt/some other thing.

Erunion · **Posted:** Fri Feb 17, 2012 5:05 am

Same number of highlights/steps as the foot version, but the mounted version is very poorly sculpted in comparison. The foot version's face/head is actually a bit oversized, in my opinion, but I know they were trying to make it look like Sean Bean. I believe the mounted version was a later addition to the range.

Fine detailed

Despite another loooong day, I managed to get some work done on the Goblins. I completed drybrushing all of their bases and started applying basecoats. Ten days left to get them done!

Erunion · **Posted:** Wed Oct 03, 2012 5:02 pm

Okay...Update time.

I never did complete all of those goblins. Just can't seem to get caught up on everything I have to do. Anyway, I finished Durburz, a set of Goblin Drummers and 12 Gobbos. Pictures soon. The other half of the goblins and shaman are in progress. Also, I've committed myself to finishing a mounted Radagast conversion that I started many moons ago. Here's to a productive month!

Lookin forward to it J.

Here is one of Dave's Birch Ents. Painted in a fall theme to match the Wood Elves I am working on. Sorry for the junky picture. I'll try to get some better ones soon.

Crucium Giger · **Posted:** Wed Sep 11, 2013 11:18 am

Both the Ent and Boromir look great.

Ukfreddybear · **Posted:** Wed Sep 11, 2013 1:01 pm

Very nice! Good to see you about again Jonathan

Erunion · **Posted:** Wed Sep 11, 2013 2:00 pm

Thanks, and it's good to BE back.

Erunion · **Posted:** Mon Jan 06, 2014 5:01 am

What's this? Erunion is updating his WIP thread? Ahhh!!!! It must be the end of the world!!!

I am really terrible about taking pictures, mostly because I don't have a very good camera. However, I converted a miniature that I have been wanting to do for a while. So without further ado, I give you the Limited Edition Radagast married to the lower half of Gandalf the White on Shadowfax.

Sawing through Gandalf was not an easy task. Anyway, let me know what you think!
