Here's my WIP thread

I paint/convert/sculpt just about all races of middle earth and I will try and show you a broad range of my work.

First off, some Green Stuff bits and pieces:
Here's a few severed heads I made out of green stuff

Rohan royal guard conversion

All Comments and criticism are always gladly welcome throughout this entire thread.

I love that Royal guard!

May I first say, I am not at all surprised by your avatar

Very good sculpting-conversions. The severed heads do look fairly similar to the ones you get on the Mordor Trolls (the left one anyway), and the Royal uard is quite easily recognisable as such.

Good job :yay:

I second that! great work. I always marvel at people's sculpting abilities - wish I could to something like that :sad:

Thanks

here's one of my favourite conversions that i have done:
(He's supposed to be an orc captain by the way)

please excuse the bad painting (i did him a while ago)

Here's one of my bigger projects to make an orc drummer.
has anyone got any ideas on how to make a strap for the drum?

C&C welcome

Liking the orc captain

I like this thread

Really nice sculping, wish I could do that ;O
I like the orc captain the most, and for the straps, just a couple of strings?

There are many other great articles on TLA but those were the one I used most

Those are really nice articles, I might consider actually buying green stuff ;D

garmenhord · **Posted:** Mon Jun 25, 2012 6:35 pm

green stuff is totally worth buying :-)

Yeah I know, I don't know what stops me from buying it xD

SidTheSloth · **Posted:** Mon Jun 25, 2012 6:50 pm

Woah!!
you haven't got green stuff??? :shock:

My advice to you is: Get some.
seriously, besides painting the models its the funnest thing i've found in the hobby so far

it adds a whole new aspect to the hobby IMO
you can make every model unique
And its really cheap, i got 24 inches of the stuff for about 3-4 quid (on ebay)
heres some work i did on legolas a few days ago, I added the blanket,pouch and the small bag

P.S. sorry for the HUGE pictures everybody

SidTheSloth · **Posted:** Mon Jun 25, 2012 9:09 pm

Heres a few converted uruks that I intend to paint up over the next few days
they were uruk warriors but I converted them by swapping their pikes with goblin bows and giving them bags for X-bow bolts.
the bags aren't very good because they were only the second greens I had ever done

GothmogtheWerewolf · **Posted:** Mon Jun 25, 2012 11:40 pm

I like your Orc Captain and Drummer, and the crossbows. You are very good at this

edge67 · **Posted:** Tue Jun 26, 2012 1:11 am

Yep, loving all your conversions. Inspiring stuff!

Wow I'm really impressed by your work!

I love your conversions, they look great! I also really like your bases, especially the one of Saruman.

Keep up the great work, and impress us even more with your awesome models!

Kind regards,
