A friend told me I should consider starting a WIP thread rather than linking my progress to the blog. So here it is, although I will still be updating the blog with content as well. Just finished my second Argonath statue. Eventually I will build a base with water, etc. But for now, here they are. I included a mini of Lurtz for scale, these things are pretty big. I think this camera is better than what I was using, but now I need better lighting. |

UKFreddyBear did these conversions for me. The screen shot was the inspiration for them. I think he did a good job of capturing it. |

I love your basing on your mini's! and loving the 2 Argonath statues. Where did you buy them from? or did you make them yourself? |

The Argonath came from a company in Poland: Monolith-Icon. It escapes me who it was, but someone on the OR community posted about them a few months back, citing that after a hiatus, they were available again. Takes a long time for MI to get them shipped, but it is well worth the wait. |

That means a lot coming from you, I am still in awe of that banner you did for the painting competition. I am just finishing up a Barrow Wight that has been sitting on the painting table for months. I'll throw a picture up to this thread when its finished. After that I don't know what I am going to do next. I was considering painting Radagast on the sled because I have a vision in my mind of what I want to do with the base. So its probably either that or UKFBs Willow Ent. |

Hard choice, must admit I have put the Radagast to the back of the cupboard.  Look forward to seeing them. |

Fantastic conversions and very inspirational! Maybe the axe shaft is a bit thick, but thats it already. Think I might want to try this as well! |

Thanks for all the comments guys! madfrog2000 wrote: Woah those are expensive haha nearly $300 each my money. New Zealand Yeah brother. Its nuts. It cost me as much to have then shipped as the statues themselves! Below is the Barrow Wight I just finished up. And I decided to go with Radagast's Sled next. Man, that has been a pain to put together. I am real excited about the base work, so I have to make sure I don't rush the paint job! haha. Last is a WIP shot of the layout. |

I love the painting on that chain-mail helmeted RoR The painting on the statues of Argonath is extremely realistic  Well Done

How come you didn't just buy the statues that came from the collectors fellowship of the ring box? Yeah, it's a good thing the sled has a rickety appearance to it. I am going to have to do a little greenstuff fixing to it still. I really had to do some severe bending to it to get the front together. Are you talking about the extended edition DVDs, with the bookend Argonath? I have those. But they are really small, and not the proper scale for this. Of course, I think to be the correct scale, the Argonath should be about 6 feet (~2meters). But these are the biggest I have ever seen, and look really good with the minis. I just bought a 20 gallon fish tank that I have upside down overtop of them to keep the dust off. They are to big for my display case! hahaha. |
