Straw-haired scum with bright banners - we Uruks will rip him to pieces!

PS. Great banner painting!

He manages to make Gamling sound like Worzel Gummidge! (for those unfamiliar with him - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Worzel_Gummidge)

The banner is fantastic - that is as near the real thing as you can get with a 28mm scale mini. Gamling looks fabulous though in the films he was more of an RRG commander and close bodyguard for Theoden (unlike the Gamling in the books but then there is a chance that that was a different Gamling...)

Thanks for all the comments guys.

I think that maybe NLC switched roles between Hama and Gamling

And got rid of Hama. All you hear/ see of him is A) He lets Gandalf and co. into Meduseld. B) He gets killed by a warg on the way to Helm's Deep and C) had Aragorn have a nice chat with his son Haleth.

An expertly painted Royal Banner - IMO that horse is probably the hardest thing to paint accurately of all the LotR SBG line. Its very difficult with all the contours of the flag itself, and getting the design in the right place.

There is no Wikipedia page for Worzel

You made me 'google' it.

What a funny looking character, I can't believe I've never heard of him before. Thanks for the connection though Dorthonion, I now know what I'll be thinking of next time I watch the Two Towers

You put a wor after w and a wor after e and that's how you speak worzelees or something like that is how the song used to go. Worzel Gummadge was a great tv show. Not as good as that banner though.

SDJackson · **Posted:** Tue Jul 29, 2008 8:06 am

That banner is amazing.
I wish I could paint like that.

And your Haldir's elves look amazing, IMO better than the colour scheme GW does and the best scheme I have seen yet. Great models.

Whoa 2 months since last update :/ Good thing It's vacation time. Uni is over ...unless till october (1 year down 4 to go

)

So I was working on some stuff for UKFB, he already say it and I'd like you guys to take a look and rate/comment those minis to help me determine wether they need some improvement.

There's a lot of pics so brace yourselves

(I'm experimenting with new camera and different light settings )

First and my Favourite - Mountain GIant, I like this mini though I hope I'll never have to paint one again D: It's soooooo difficult it actually hurts

But UKFB did great job on this one, outstanding sculpt. If you want to relax from all those 28mm tiny minis thet's the way

Now Woodsman. I decied to go with standard leather clothes and I matched them with blonde hair for contrast 'cause let's be honest, no one thinks of him as a blonde

I was thinking of doing next one with tartan cloaths much like clansmens of lammedon.

An his 'pet'

I went for the Grizlli scheme

Last but not least

The Ent UKFB Debut and I have to say that's a great one I like it especially because I'm proud Wood Elf Army Owner

I decided to try some different colour approach from schorched brown -> bestial Brwon etc. I also intend to do next one with technique of layering as all minis, rather thantypicall for ents drybrushing.

What excellent, excellent, excellent painting. Be very proud of these figures! I think they're great. Oh and the bases look ace too.

lorderkenbrand · **Posted:** Sat Aug 02, 2008 11:01 am

OMG!

Now that was well worth waiting 2 months! Great job mate, all those models look brilliant, I especially like the Ent! And boy can you paint skin! If only I had a complexion like that Mountain Giant :roll:

SDJackson · **Posted:** Sat Aug 02, 2008 12:57 pm

Very nice painting, me like.
Nice minis as well.

Razhburz · **Posted:** Sat Aug 02, 2008 1:29 pm

awesome stuff matey! the giant is my favorite too, brilliant painting

BilboOfTheWhiteTower · **Posted:** Sat Aug 02, 2008 4:38 pm

Outstanding!! :shock:

The giants tanned skin looks great, the blonde hair on the woodsman is also a great touch and the bear and the Ent are also fantastic...great job!!

Darren-5-08 · **Posted:** Sun Aug 03, 2008 12:21 pm

Haldir_pl · **Posted:** Sun Aug 03, 2008 7:18 pm

Well I'm glad you like it. It's good to know I'm still in shaope after 3 monts brake.

Anyway here's my Ambush at Amon Hen project I've been working for a week or so now.

Three Musketeers and Lurtz

Dying Boromir (a little mix up with light but It's only a WiP

)

First phase of base

Some other WiPs incl. Beaking of the Fellowship and Attack at Weathertop

Razhburz · **Posted:** Sun Aug 03, 2008 7:35 pm

awesome stuff mate I will follow this thread with great interest, and, by the look of it, this thread will be a great sourse of inspiration for my own project!

SDJackson · **Posted:** Sun Aug 03, 2008 7:47 pm

Woah, awesome stuff. Amazing.

Red Corsairs · **Posted:** Sun Aug 03, 2008 8:27 pm

Majestic Bear minis look fabulous as does the Ambush at amon-hen so far! Great update and looking forward to more!

Commander_cool · **Posted:** Sun Aug 03, 2008 9:23 pm
