would you paint those 70mm with citadel/minature paints, out of curiosity? What type of paint would you use to prime, and then basecoat/layer/highlight, etc.? Just curious, it seems working out of the little citadel pots would be difficult.

I think i am gonna use those paints if im honest. it are paints im familiar with..sorta...but painting them will have to wait a bit longer. first gotta get the TV/Internet sorted...and a light in the room
Did however mount the swords and bows to the wall.
pics will follow

finally finished the hobbyroom
ready to start painting again

Thats awesome!! can I move in? lol

Yep, I'm envious. I have the full size witch King sword and Anduril but nothing else and not much prospect of my limited collection growing, in the near future at least.

Um, it looks quite ... expensive! Really nice, I think that anybody painting in a room like this will have lots of motivation. I love the weapon collection! Looking forward to seeing some miniatures made in a time full of motivation!

Love your weapons collection, very nice.

You could add some white to the tops of the water?

Great weapons collection; I can imagine myself carrying this bow around.

What did you use for the water?

a silicone kit, often used in kitchen and bathrooms. make sure u get the transparent drying kind..
apply a coat..and then hammer it with a plastic spoon to create the illusion of moving water..and then a light coat of white paint on top..

will try to get sum new pics on here soon enough

Ive also enterd the Diorama challenge with a Barrel out of bonds diorama. to avoid the cluttering of that thread, here are 2 updated pics. hope u like it

Looks terrific already!

hey all,

here's a small little update whilst waiting on paint to dry for the diorama
had a spare goblinking and gobling laying around so made this lil thing
hope u like it, its not done yet but getting along nice

Haha the pose is just so funny; the poor goblin squirming and trying to escape the king's clutch: priceless. Can you please post the Barrels out of Bond scenario after you play it?

the barrels diorama is still very much work in progress
and its not actually a battleboard, more a display piece
i hope to get some work done on it today in between work

Ha, that's great, you've picked the right Goblin
