That's amazing work! It looks fantastic! The painting and sculpting.
Still have to get my Smaug out of the box...

Great job on this, to take on a sculpt like this is something I could never do, my hat off to you sir.

Thanks all for the kind words, and CaptainOfTheWhiteTower has already had the pleasure/displeasure of taking this model head on in person.
I'm currently working on my own gundabad orc conversions from fighting uruks, and I have a great beast of gorgoroth in the pipeline too

Incredible work, you've really captured the sense of movement in this sculpt. top notch.

Hello people of the one ring, it has been some time since I updated this thread, so here we go:

I re-sculpted my watcher in the water as the previous rendition bothered me.

I thought I ought to mke it more squid like and streamlined, hence the slender head

Wah Wing · **Posted:** Wed Nov 25, 2015 8:12 pm

Now that is awesome!

Great work on that Watcher.
I think that you could add more white foam to the water to make it even more realistic, especially around the watcher itself and by the rocks.

Good idea, I may have to give a go,also I used the dreggs of an ardcoat spray can on it, it was spluttering a bit which actually helped for the water drop effect on the watcher itself
