Greetings guys!
Been a huge lurker here since forever, but finally decided to say hello. Been playing LOTR since '01, been hooked ever since.
I recently got a new Mordor/Isengard Troll kit which comes with one torso and legs, but three heads and a whole host of arm options. I decided to try and get a bit more bang for my buck by making 3 trolls from the box; one pure box bits and two from the left over bits plus a huge chunk of greenstuff.
This was my first time sculpting on any serious level so I was keen on how you thought they turned out. The proportions aren't quite perfect, but the great thing about trolls is they're all stunted and unique, which helps hides mistakes
The fully box troll kitted out with drums:
Mordor Troll Chieftan using box arms, head and chest plate, the rest GS:
Mordor Troll using box arms, head and half chest plate, the rest GS:
The Set:
For the skin texture I took inspiration from the old metal Mordor Troll model which has a lot more scales across his hide, as opposed to the new plastic box style which is mainly muscle with a few odd scales across his back and thighs.
Still have to base them and throw a few decals on. Paint job isn't amazing but reasonably happy with how they've turned out.
Hope you like 'em

Yeah I have another unopened box and have a few more wild idea for the next three, might try and give them a real theme. I'm thinking about some duel wielding poses and the like!
