I know the rules on posting pictures from off site but there were just way too many pictures to take and I didn't really have the time to put them all into the thread right now. I'll make sure to change it later though.

So anyways here are some of my figures from my good collection:http://www.flickr.com/photos/52174826@N05/sets/72157625497270904/

Been playing SBG since September 2007 and have a bunch of figures from both good and evil armies. There is a lot more stuff to get up and to get painted so Ill post progress pics soon. :)

Nice work on all your minis. Looks like you're a big fan of Gondor stuff! :)

I'm actually more of a Dunedain Ranger fan, but Gondor was my Favorite faction when I first started the hobby.

I'll definitely post up some more pictures soon (Gonna try and Paint Gandalf today.) :gandalf: and thanks for the Comments! :-D

Looks very cool maybe cause your painting style is very like mines :)

I especially like your bases how did you make the snow bases?

Keep it up

The snow was laid the same way as static grass but you add them in layers. When one layer dries you put some PVA glue over the layer before and sprinkle some more Modeling snow over it. Keep doing this until you get the desired deepness of snow. (Speaking of which it snowed here today!)

I finished up Gandalf yesterday so I'll try to get some pictures of the old Istari.


BTW is there anyway that I could change my Display name?

Some really cool work there. Again I like the snow bases, and the extra detailing you've given the bases of the WoMT... Are my eyes deceiving me or have you painted the reflection of the flaming brand in Aragorn sword......

Looking forward to seeing more.....

Yes I did paint the reflections of the torch on to His sword. Sadly the paint got chipped on his sword and I had to take it off so I can repaint it.

Hello Again Everyone!
After an absence I finally got back into the hobby and got a whole lotta updates to show!

Many of the miniatures I got awhile ago I just left them off and were gathering dust in my case. I'm going to try and paint them some time this week.

Click to: Show
Image

Image
As you can see, there is a lot of clutter on my desk. :o


Terrain
Just last Friday, I got a sudden urge to finally start making some terrain pieces for my gaming table.

Click to: Show
Image

Image
I really like how the Ruins turned out. It was my first time using foamboard to make stuff and I found that I wasn't to bad at using it! (I see I left my favorite videogame laying on top of my favorite movie's case :-D )

Image
Close up of the ruins

Image
This piece I just finished today. I think the trees are a little too bright for where my tables located. I'll use it for Shire scenarios though

Image

Image
Some Orcs in the Wood


Other WIPS
These are some guys I haven't got to painting yet. I also have 24 dwarf rangers in the same state as well along with some Orcs
Image
Rangers

Image
I think Im going to make this figure Halbarad. Mainly because the banner on the new figure looks too much like the normal Gondor banner where this one has it's own design. Plus I sculpted a quiver to his back so he can have a bow.

Image
Pippin and some guardsmen with my custom Osgiliath bases. :wink:

Painted Minis

Click to: Show
Image
This Dunedain I painted last week. I really like how he turned out. Anyone have any tips on how to paint beards? I got hair down fairly well but my beards look to flat. (As you'll see on my Aragorn figure down below)

Image
I actually painted Theoden awhile ago, I just haven't gotten the chance to post him up. I do like how Snowmane (Right?) turned out.

Image
Theodens Riders, allies for Gondor. Got to put together some Rohan warriors too... :?

Image
I really like this model since It's the only one with Legolas wearing a cloak with his Mirkwood items. I decided to paint the cloak like his Mirkwood cloak that you can see in his picture in the Fellowship journey book.

Image
I really don't like this sculpt of Aragorn. It just doesn't look much like old Viggo and his outfit is messed up considering he has Boromir's bracers, but no Elven cloak. So I decided to fix that. :-D
Oh, And I really hate his beard so if anyone can offer some advice on painting beards, I'd gladly appreciate it.

Image
Sculpt work to add Elven Cloak and Ranger supplies.

Image
I just love how Gandalf turned out. His robes turned out very smooth and Glamdring looks great!

Image

Image
This has to be one of my best figures. This is my second favorite sculpt of Aragorn (Weathertop being the first) because it looks the most like Viggo imo.

Image
His face turned out great and the only thing I may touch up is that dang beard! :x His duster coat and his tunic turned out fantastic and I finally got his boots to look more like they do in the movie.

Image
Sculpted his quiver and bow on his back too! I also painted his horse to look like Brego instead of Hasufel.



Well sorry for the overload of images but I hope you like um. :) I'll try to make some more updates since I'm planning on building A LOT more terrain. Speaking of which, does anyone know where to buy some discounted hirst arts molds? I would buy them from him, but they are REALLY expensive and I can afford them with what little money I have. (I'm only 15 after all)

Well anyways I'll see y'all round!

Great work, as usual I a very jealous of the way you paint skin, it looks so life-like.
Nice sculpting as well, and that has to be my favourite mini as well.

Thanks for the comments guys!

garmenhord: The ruins aren't actually cardboard (Although they do look like it now that I look at um.) The foam in the middle of the piece melted when I undercoated it, even though I sealed the whole thing with PVA glue! But it didn't turn out too bad.

Got some more progress pictures! :)

Image
Got the guys primed up and based along with some soon to be Dunedain Rangers. :D


The next couple of pics are of some models I got a long while ago that needed a new paint job. Don't have any before pictures though, would've been useful to show the improvements. (All of them are Gondor by the way. :boromir )
Image

Image

Image
Beregond's face looks a little funky, but overall I like how he turned out, especially the eyes.

Image
And my Citadel Guard Archers. Love how these guys look. Can't wait to paint the new spear versions I got back in the Winter. :-D
I think I'm going to touch up on the rest of my Gondorians as well.

Well that's all for today. I may have some more tomorrow since I'm heading down to the shop with my friend for the day. Don't really know what we're gonna do yet....

I like the yellow/gold you put on your citadel guards... It makes your eye to fall on them... :-D

Thanks everyone!

Ultrageek: I also thought the same thing after Painting the yellow. It made them stand out much better than how they were painted before.

garmenhord: Oh, that freehanding gave me a headache, but I love how it turned out!
