I hope you enjoyed painting that piece of metal. You must be frustrated Master Ent to have engineered this figure and have to wait for yours while everyone else gets theirs. Sadly I've had a bit of time on my hands as our poor little dog (actually he is a 9 stone (sorry I don't do kilo's) Bull Mastiff) has just had a serious knee operation so I have grabbed the spare time when I can't be doing anything else cos I'm looking after him Well his pain is my gain.Īctually I have almost finished Thranduil as well - this would be a great figure for a 'painter' with keen eyesight as you can really go to town on the painting - alas I am coming to the conclusion that I may need to get my eyes tested as things are not focusing as well as they used to Incidently the horse was shaded/dappled using chalk pastels which are very good for this effect. To be honest I spent most of my modelling career painting large scale figures so sometimes find it difficult to adopt the techniques used by the small figure painters.
I tend to go for the darker look myself in most instances and usually give my Mithrils a wash of dark paint/ink as well. Thank you good folk for your comments, and you are right Gildor - I always start out to vary colours, but sometimes it doesn't work out like that.
