@DMS - if I ever come into money, here’s my 5 step plan 1 - buy 1 of every LOTR and Hobbit model in the range 2 - hire you for a full year (or longer) to paint every one of them perfectly as you do. 3 - spend a small fortune shipping those models from the UK to the States 4 - Buy approximately 50 IKEA display cases 5 - Proudly display the best collection of models ever assembled Love your work man, every update is a great. Thanks for sharing |

Haha Ja33 thank you so much. I have quite a few clients in the US who are collectors. The next Smaug I do is going to the US. Dread to think what the postage will be lol. |

Hey! Glad to see you're still posting updates here! I am ashamed to admit that I pretty much moved completely to Instagram, but it's just not the same. Doesn't feel much like a community over there imo. I plan on posting here much more frequently, gotta keep this forum going! You're painting looks great, as always! Really like the Smaug, I can only imagine how long that must've taken. I painted my fell beast by hand, and the wings alone took me forever! I really like all the Fellowship models. One thing that stands out to me is just how consistent your painting is. The models you paint duplicates of look nearly identical. I realize batch painting helps a lot with that, but it still deserves a shout out. I'm looking forward to seeing more! -PoW |

Glorfindel ft and mtd next up. Been a long time since I last painted this set up. Loved working on them - fantastic models. I wrote a full step by step painting guide for these two which is now up on the patreon page. For more information on the guides here is a LINK

Very nice, as usual.  I've always liked those models, too, despite the perhaps-too-narrow face. It probably helps that I liked the character from the books, and that the color scheme is a nice change of pace. |

The NMM on the sword(s) is really nice and smooth. Though, to be fair it's pretty darn smooth painting all around lol. Good job! -PoW |

@DaveT - thanks! Haha yeh I agree these two suffer from the strange skinny face thing that some of the elven poses seem to have going on. @PoW - Thanks man. Nice of you to point out the NMM, I'm still very much a beginner when it comes to NMM. |

I'm so glad a new Elrond has been released ....... with a bit of luck that means I'll never have to paint this monstrosity of a set ever again as long as I live lol  |

Wonderful color scheme and model! What don't you like about him? From your painted model he looks like a fantastic sculpt

Advario wrote: Wonderful color scheme and model! What don't you like about him? From your painted model he looks like a fantastic sculpt Thank you. The quality of the sculpt is awful due to the finecast material. |The pose itself is fine but the amount of remedial prep work involved to get the model into a state where it is paintable is ridiculous. |
