Consider yourself added to my list of sickeningly good painters...

Boromir is my favourite also, that cloak looks delicious!

Haldir_pl · **Posted:** Tue Sep 02, 2008 2:05 pm

Thanks guys. I was wondering wether to add some more hand and Isengard stuff on U-H but then I thought it would make them look a bitt odd

Boromir is my absolute favorite

Mine too

It's funny because I bought BotF because that's the best Fellowship ever and I just wanted to paint it for fun and maybe dispatch it some time when there will be no place left on my shelves.

Thanks I guess

Make place in your Hall of Fame (small joke on my side

)

I like these figure, nice vivid colours and cool bases. However...if I may be excused to say, I think that compared to all of the figures, the Uruk-hai warrior's metal shields look uncharacteristically 'splodgily' painted, which just seemed to me to stick out from the neat manner of painting that you have employed on the rest of your figures. I hope you understand what I mean. I don't mean this as a criticism, but they just seem of a different 'level' from the painted details on the rest of your figures in your set.

Aragorn's face and expression is awesome.

I know what you mean its delibarate. I was going for some kind of worn metal, a bit fatigued so I used mithril Silver to try to create some scratches and signs of previous use

Wow, superbly painted!
Boromir is clearly my favourite, his cloak looks so perfect

I also like the uruks, and I think the shields look just fine, no need to change them :wink:

Natarn · **Posted:** Tue Sep 02, 2008 6:40 pm

There he goes again, stealing photos of my minis. :wink:

P.S. I wish!

Holy! That is some crazy good painting man! The faces just look so realistic.

Great painting and an interesting terrain board for storage/display. The number of great pics makes this like a gallery all to itself.

Some Breaking of the Fellowship WiP (since I don't take much of such pics lately here's one of Legolas)

To join rest of Fellowship (for sure the best Fellowship set)

What emerges from all the figures in your latest post is that you are very skilled at painting facial and flesh areas on figures - I mean Sam and Frodo's faces...I just keep studying them and admiring them! The jacket and coat areas on your figures are good too.

That is some pretty amazing painting there. I'm always blown away by your work but it seems like it just gets better and better! Its hard to pick a favorite but I think I'd select Aragorn. He's just sweet.

Haldir_Strikes · **Posted:** Thu Sep 18, 2008 9:24 pm

Really nice Victor! You're blending and shading is fantastic, as usual. The contrast you've gotten is simply amazing as well~! Although...that Pippin mini still looks like he's tripping over :roll:

I must try out white undercoat some time....

BilboOfTheWhiteTower · **Posted:** Fri Sep 19, 2008 12:22 am

Wow, completely amazing models!! I cannot get over how well the colors blend together...just outstanding work!! :shock:

Haldir_pl · **Posted:** Fri Sep 19, 2008 12:30 pm

Here's Legolas as of this morning

An to be honest he's the only one of whole box I'm painting on white undercoat

I don't really know why

Thanks for all the comments, truly guys, you just make me want to paint more and more

Razhburz · **Posted:** Fri Sep 19, 2008 5:09 pm

awesome stuff Viktor! i really like these, perfect blending!

DurinsBane · **Posted:** Sat Sep 20, 2008 6:26 am

AWESOME set of miniatures...beautiful rich colours used...I am gobsmacked :!:

lorderkenbrand · **Posted:** Sat Sep 20, 2008 11:35 am

Amazing minis! For me the faces make them so appealing, and the highlights on the cloaks are magical

Haldir_pl · **Posted:** Thu Jan 29, 2009 8:34 am

Wow... 4 months without update... i don't know how I managed this much time without painting

I guess uni won, but now thate's exam session upon me so...time to paint

I've decided to pick up my Harad army that have been laying around for a year now. Hopefully I'll end it soon enough to Start it in EE GT

Anyway, here's first pic of test Haradrim Warrior (so far only thing I have in the army x50

). I'm going for the desert scheme so this is one of many variations I will use (If I painted whole army in the same pattern it would be rather dull

) Let me know what do you think about the scheme.

And also sorry for crappy pics, my sis managed to interect with my camera (and by interact I mean touched it and permanently persueded it to stop working), so there are pics from my Cell Phone, a bit under lighted and blurry in some places.

Cheers
