Welcome. To my unexpected journey to middle earth I hope you all enjoy. ok first few thing i hate painting, painting a model i find is boring really like the building but the painting fed me to a orc now to stop my suffering.

Well i really like the GW models for the Lord of the rings and the hobbit but the scale i dislike. Till Knight models 35mm range

so i had to order. ok on to some models i think.

scale shot

And on to some paint.

I hope you all enjoy. comments very welcome good and the not so good

will try and get a better painted picture after work tomorrow and re edit the post.

Looks like you've got a good start. I love the Knight Models stuff (LotR and otherwise). I am considering ordering the Galadriel myself.

Keep up the good work!

I love painting, probably my favorite part of the hobby.
Do u have any GW Lotr minis you could use for scale comparisons? Lol I'm not even familiar with whatever that model was

Great to see someone on the site working on a couple of these excellent sculpts - I like both but Galadriel.... (sigh).... my only worry regarding her is that I am just not a good enough painter.

Great to see these miniatures being worked on as the sculpts really are lovely.

I'd expected them to look a lot bigger next to GW models, lovely sculpts though.

thanks for the comments people. more painting is happening but just taking time. got some new paints to use on both so hope they work well.

getting to the end i am thinking.

just skin to finish, backpack and wooden stick, and touch ups left.... and then the base.
