Fantastic work Sid!

Love the base but the cloth is a little too blue for me. And in the second to last pic, he looks barefoot. :-D

Maybe it's the angle.

Very good face Sid, but the cloth makes him look like the Great Other (an ice-spirit for A Song of Ice and Fire)

CyberAlien312 that's a great looking Radagast, a bit too shiny for a hippie though :-D

Looking good, and good luck on a very daring diorama Wah Wing!

Amazing entries so far! :yay:

Finally got round to basing Radagast - unfortunately part of the paint on his cloak has chipped off again

Ok, here's mine. Sorry for the glam but I'm killing two birds with one stone and using the same image in my website gallery......

Another great Gandalf the Bouncer ("You shall not pass-no flaming trousers!"). Nicely framed as well, very eye-catching.

Here's my completed Gandalf.
Nearly didn't make it. Dropped him on the floor after adding static grass and had to re-glue base and repair the paint around his feet :sad:

Still he looks OK again now :-D

Wah Wing · **Posted:** Thu Nov 01, 2012 10:58 pm

And now here are the finished pictures of Gandalf!

Hope you guys like it.

This will be my last entry for paint challenges until I return.

I wish you all the best of luck in the next two years.

Great work everyone! Wah Wing we are going to miss you. I assume you are still going to be able to post comments on the forum?

Wah Wing · **Posted:** Fri Nov 02, 2012 5:46 pm

Nope.

I wish I could. But, no. You'll only hear from me if I write a letter to you.

{edit}
Oh, I forgot to explain the reason for the bird! I never intended to actually do that. I just had some extra green stuff from a different project that didn't turn out too well. So I needed to find out what I could do with it before it was unusable. Then I thought "what if Radagast tried to help Gandalf search for Gollum?" He could have sent a bird to help in the search. So I sculpted a bird. It was a small thing of GS so the only base I had to work on was the paper clip it sits on.

I'll try to update a few more times before I leave. I'll try to contribute in some way to this Hobbit Month. Perhaps make a hobbit hole for the challenge? :twisted:

Sad to see you go, Wah Wing. But a great entry in the last challenge.

Here is my finished Gandalf.
