Yeah, Cruci, but I suppose it's part of the process  Gandalf's finished now, just finished priming his wing-ed steed   Might continue on the Eagle tonight... |

Stop being silly! Because eagles are no cabs, but proud and majestic animals. And Gwaihir only offered help to Gandalf 3 times because Gandalf saved his life before. Giant birds carrying the ring(bearer) would have been easy to spot and even easier prey for the dark forces and especially the Nazgul! Also the great eagles were engaged in other battles in the north at that time if i remember correctly. |

Very nice, the paint job is both perfect in itself - so Gandalfesque, but it also reveals how amazing your sculpting is. Fantastic you are.

Thank you everyone for the lovely feedback, it's been a great confidence-boost! Lord of Gondor wrote: You have there a model I think everyone on this forum is envious of. And the standard of painting on Gandalf is amazing too. Wow. Wow, wow, wow, wow. Need I say more? Haha I wouldn't go that far but thanks a million! I think most people are more envious of whatever mysterious unreleased monster DMS has got his spectral paws on... UNKNOWN wrote: Why didn't the fellowship ride eagles into Mordor?

Thanks a lot, samoht! I hope you like Gwaihir too, once he's done!

Thank you so much Goth! UNKNOWN wrote: If you can't get eagles, why not bears with lazer eyes? *Sigh* If only Boromir had had them at Amon Hen, he might never have needed to die :/ Great pic!!! Once again thanks everyone! I've been trying out some different colour schemes for Gwaihir and gone with the following:   (The underbelly's feathers aren't finished yet) I wasn't too sure about the goldish-brown for the body and top row of feathers at first, but I think it looks quite regal, very befitting of the Windlord himself. Very curious to hear what anyone thinks about the choice of colours and if anyone would like a painting guide please let me know! |

Thanks a lot, Chris! That wasn't my intention haha, I think I just got lucky with my choice of colours, it took me three goes though I'm sure your eagle rules, don't think I've seen it, though... :S

I personally think it all looks good, I especially like the golden brown feathers. Gandalf also looks good, very nice conversion. -PoW |

And a cheeky close-up of Gwaihir's face because I had a lot of fun painting it and I'm really proud of how it turned out!  DONE! C&C welcome as always! Thanks again for following my project! Now I just need a fitting base before the end of the month... |
