It are rocks :lol:

- i intended to make his sword glow..
looks like a failure

I knew the sword was glowing. That part is excellent.

It just looked like he was standing in waves like he was fighting the Watcher in the Water or something. :-D

Now I can see the rocks though. :oops:

Wow! such great entries! Here is my work in progress. Need eyes, wash and some details and perhaps a blue sting :twisted:

Good job Martinus - gret highlights on the cloak, the sword looks good and worn like its been through many a battle, facial detail well picked out and nice basing. A good all round entry :yay:

Yeah the clothes do look great! nice painting. I always find it hard to make his yellow shirt look good.

All the entries so far look great! Looking forward to seeing more.

I've spent like twice the time for the grass and non existing eyes after I finished painting him. Nope I can't do it. It's impossible. I need some very thin brush I think. I can't get an eye! :shock:

And GW's super glue does not work well with GW grass, I think I need white glue for bases... Well here my final entry.

Here is my proof picture, hopefully I'll get chance to paint Frodo in time.

I've changed the base a bit. OK this is the last version for sure.

Dead Marsh Spectre · **Posted:** Wed Jul 25, 2012 9:06 am

Well done Farinal - base looks great!!! as does Frodo !!!

With al these finished models around... let's post a proof pic!
Every hobbit of the fellowship, except Frodo

Not sure who i'm gonna paint yet.

heres my final one though he's not properly finished:

please just imagine he has eyes :lol:

i'm out of time, my camera is broken and this was my latest WiP pic so i put it on

Farmer Maggot · **Posted:** Fri Jul 27, 2012 10:12 am

Here is my finished Frodo.

The casting of the face doesn't seem to be great, and I've decided not to paint his eyes (he's sleeping).

Dead Marsh Spectre · **Posted:** Fri Jul 27, 2012 10:14 am

I think he looks better sleeping - the pose wouldn't suit eyes imo. Nice entry!

Thanks DMS, I'm really surprised to get him finished, the Theoden I painted for a previous challenge ending up taking about 6 months.

I've got a good feeling about a win this month...

garmenhord · **Posted:** Fri Jul 27, 2012 8:59 pm

@ring of gyges; invisible one?

Wah Wing · **Posted:** Fri Jul 27, 2012 10:44 pm

Very ingenious! :-D

That base looks great by the way.
