On a different note, what is your photo set up ? I love the consistency and sharpness of the images.

My photo set up is very straight forward Mally. I have a black piece of cloth which i take outside and photograph the models against in natural light. I have tried all sorts to be able to photgraph indoors but have never been happy with the results. There is no substitute for natural light it seems. My camera is a reeeeally old digital camera.

I've seen others mention the outside light. I will give it a go.

Azog looks so awesome with the head that I almost weep that there is not a Dain version throwing Azogs head down the steps of Moria as it should have been.
Great job painting an awesome conversion.

Well home again after another fantastic Desolation of Stockport tournament. Congrats to James, Jamie, Damian and Thomas for putting together yet another awesome event. Was great to catch up with familiar faces as well as meeting some new people too. Well done all for making the event the success it was.

Anyway mounted Radagast.... Conversion work done by Dave Fredericks using the EFGT Radagast and the Shadowfax from the original Gandalf on Shadowfax blister. Awesome work as usual Dave, makes my job a whole lot easier.

Bigger pictures in the Marshes

Radagast is on Cool Mini or not for voting and if you would like to register a vote you can CLICK HERE

Thanks for looking.

Almost finished with the Grimmhammers now so thankfully won't be sausage fingers for much longer

I've been looking forward to this update and it does not disappoint! Great basing and lovely freehand on the rug. Well done Kev

Nice Kev.
I haven't seen those tube flowers before, where do you get these from ?

JamesR · **Posted:** Mon Sep 29, 2014 11:26 am

Such a great looking piece! That horse looks so good I want to sneeze (I'm allergic to horses) lol

Dead Marsh Spectre · **Posted:** Mon Sep 29, 2014 11:37 am

@Mally - the flowers i bought from ebay. They are plastic and come on sprues. They require painting and assembly. quite challenging actually with them being so small.

Made by BUSCH haha no pun intended ( sorry still a little worse the wear due to fallout from Stockport)

paliouras · **Posted:** Mon Sep 29, 2014 12:36 pm

Absolutely brilliant update! Such a unique piece!!
I really love what you both have done sculpting, converting, painting and basing wise.
Where can we find these beautiful flowers for the bases?
Busch is a manufacturer?

Dead Marsh Spectre · **Posted:** Mon Sep 29, 2014 12:37 pm

BUSCH is the manufacturer yes.

Thanks for the comments :-)

Gandlaf the Grey · **Posted:** Mon Sep 29, 2014 2:14 pm

Thanks mate. Yes, a bit of painting makes them work with the scenery much better.

Looks great, especially the horse is very nicely done.

Gene Parmesan · **Posted:** Mon Sep 29, 2014 4:30 pm

Lovely job. You wouldn't know it was a conversion unless you knew the original
