That Guard of the Fountain Court is the best example I have ever seen! The realism is staggering, and I love the trim on the armour. The shading on the tunic is also incredible. I can't wait to see the final diorama

Lovely work on the GOTFC

Thanks for the words of support. I've already got the next figure painted, which I will get photographed soon.
I've a hell of a lot to do though and I think I need to finished 2-3 figures a week to get this done and that is without the work needed on the base !!!
Bearing in mind I usually do about 1-2 figures a month...

I wish I had the patience to paint such detail!

It's not so much the patience to put detail in, it's the desire to improve and create something I'm pleased with. It's that what pushes me on to better things, hopefully.
I just hope I can finish this thing. Work is pushing me to the limits with 7 straight 12 hour shifts. Oh yes and I dont get a break.....

2-3 figures a week, thats going to be some going! All the best with it and look forward to seeing your work

beautiful fountain court guard, I'll be popping back in when mine turn up in the post to copy...I mean use as inspiration

A brief update of where I am.
I've made a start on the base as I fear I may run out of time painting all the figures I want to add, so to control that, if the base is done I can add the figures I get finished.
It's not an exact copy but a variant on the White Tree and the fountain.

I hate it when that happens. Did any of the paint chip? If not then it shouldn't be too hard to get it fixed up and back to normal. I dropped my Sauron a while back and the arm came off and part of the base broke. Fortunately none of the paint chipped on the figure itself, but the base needed some more work.

Great stuff by the way. Everything looks excellent, the armor on the troll looks especially good.

Bit of paint chipping I'm sorry to say. I've got it back together and hopefully all will be okay. It's left overnight for the glue to set solid then I will look at re working the paint chips.

Really like the look of the Fountain court can't wait to see the finished piece

Pity about the Troll it looks brilliant

Crucium Giger · **Posted:** Fri Nov 21, 2014 10:05 am

Nothing worse than dropping a painted miniature but at least nothing broke (fragile sword and spears are murder for this).

Harfoot · **Posted:** Fri Nov 21, 2014 4:23 pm

AHHHH, sorry to hear that, hope it all goes back together and does not set you back time
