I found a cheap Christmas Village decoration for a dollar. I decided to fix it up for my shire collection. I will finish painting it tomorrow and add flock and leaves and grass.

I ruined one using the pan as a heat sink. It melted flat on the back. The heat gun gets too hot too fast and does not heat evenly like water. I have been getting ready for the Hirst Arts Southeastern Meetup Sunday. I have not had much time for LOTR. One of the HA group is about to start work on a spooky tree project. I will be active with that. I have quite a bit done on Mirkwood. There does not seem to be much interest in the Hobbit. I am very discouraged. |

I would hope that the release of the new film, along with a good set of figures being released would cure the lack of Hobbit interest. |

This doesn't mean you are scaling back with LoTR ? I sincerely hope not. |

I am no longer collecting Games Workshop figures. I am no longer going to promote the SBG at the shop. I don't use GW paints so there is little I can contribute other than building tips. Am I scaling back? Yes. But you don't game so you understand my interest is still high. |

I don't think Middle Earth will lose me but I want to try out painting some bigger figures to see how well I can paint them. I think this will be an experiment but you never know how far something will take you. However I'm enjoying my building project at present, maybe that's my way forward ? Who knows but as long as I'm enjoying myself then that's the main thing. I can understand where you are coming from with your scaling back. Like everything, it's just a natural progression. |

That is a fantastic looking tree - you are very good at seeing the possibilities behind something that did not start in Middle-earth. I love the gnarled and twisted shape - it looks like an ancient tree. |

I will pick up some more. |

Is that lichen you have used for the first layer of foliage ? Then covered with a coarse scatter ? |

  I started the first set of tiles for Dungeon Command as part of the terrain project at the club. No Trees  The first game Of Bolt Action Pacific was Sunday Lots more trees      Mike likes to run his games the length of the table. 6 feet by 12. With 10 players the game lasted 5 hours. My Halloween game starts next week. |

    I put this together Saturday as part of a club how to project. I primed it black before I went out yesterday. I started the paint when I go home for the day.I will add some washes tonight. The layout is odd but I followed the game tile plan. I will build the other half Saturday. I plan to have the water done this week- drying time may be a problem. Anyone have suggestions for more decorations for some of the walls. |
