Hi Everyone,
This is my first WIP post in which I would like to do some introduction to actually ongoing projects of my dioramas and figures paintings. In next days,weeks or months (depends of my laziness
) I will try to present here a current stages of my works and progress made.OK. So let's start...
The newest, just started, project is a kind of display diorama for small regiment of Minas Tirith solders (box of 6 Knights on horses , box of 12 on foot men and Battlecry Trebuchet set). I am using for this an original scenery set of Ruins of Osgiliath bought ages ago...
This diorama is made as two parts set which can be placed in two ways:
1. First way (for display purposes) - as long defense line
2. Second way (for gaming pursposes) - as rectangular defense building - kind of "stronghold" point
And here is the latest stage after few hours of work (roads painted + styrofoam base painted with "earth color" prepared for static grass deployment).
Actually, I am working on some smaller details such as additional pieces of ruin and stones and kind of withered tree.
And here few words about other ongoing project - an epic scene with duel between Balrog and Gandalf on Khazad-dum bridge.
Scene made from styrofoam is already almost fully painted and now it's time for painting Balrog and Gandalf.
Lava is not finished, yet (will be darker) and rocks will get some extra highlights as effect of fire reflections.
Early stage:
Actual:
I will be very happy if you share any comments about my works or provide guidelines and suggestions for improvements
, a high quality moria style graphics or movie pics to print it and put on back)
to finally challenge my poor painting skills and below there are few pics of progress made in 3 evenings spent so far.
. I think I do nothing else than paint … and paint … and paint … and paint all these black skin spots…and no end of these and still so much to OMG !
