The model looks good. The groundwork is some of the best I have seen.

Thanks for the great feedback guys!

Here are some WIP pics of the progress on the hobbit hole:

Fantastic all round. I would be happy to look at the hobbit scene over and over again. Certainly magazine quality.

I must ask, what sort of (Aluminium) mesh did you use for the window and door?

I have been working on Bree buildings, and in the past using mosquito netting, because I cannot find a decent fine mesh anywhere. -_-

Hi @Chaserpeach: It's a special mesh from an architect's shop, expensive as hell. In the meantime I've found some plasticmesh that looks exactly the same but costs only a fraction. I suggest you look on the net, especially in architecture supllies.

For my leaded lights I used a fine sieve, costs a couple of pound.

And in place

I am gonna look very closely to progress you do as I have in mind also a big Shire project after finished diorama with Hobbit hole:

My honest congrats.

@Gandlaf: great idea, how do you handle the curbature of the mesh though?

@Mars_2000: sounds great! Feel free to drop me a PM if you have any questions

I picked out flatish areas to cut out from the sheet and used them. This had a flat base so keep an eye on the kitchen section at your supermarket.

Hardware store solution. You can buy nylon window screen.

Well done!

This stuff is in most hobby stores or readily on the internet:

Hi guys,

massive (at least for me as I'm normally a very slow painter) update!

Most of these guys were painted this weekend! I did this unit for a german collector.

I hope you like it!

Cheers, Marc

I love all those different green tones, well done Marc!

The colours as always are spectacular! The robe of Gildor is very neatly done as well, a great job all around!

Nice job as always Marc.

That's a wonderful little group and I like the color scheme.

Sithious · **Posted:** Mon Mar 30, 2015 3:25 am

Awesome work. Those are good models to work with.

Oropher · **Posted:** Mon Mar 30, 2015 9:10 pm

These are wonderful. I've been away the last couple of weeks so unable to paint. Seeing these has got me psyched again now I'm back home for a little bit!
