Things I can't seem to freehand onto shields:

Lidless eyes
Canine fangs
Spiders (damn their 4th pair of legs)

I guess this last unit of orcs could be the blue constrictors.

Lines removed from LotR as being too silly.  "Orcsssssss we haaaateeees them.  They squirt lemon juice in our eyes.  Yeesss.  My Preciousssss."




But maybe I can do lidless eyes...  This is just practice before I paint the shields to cover my messy drybrushing.



Opinions?  Do people like the large or smaller "eyelashes"?

I'm with Will, if it's possible to do smaller.  :-\

I ended up going with the short lashes except for the center down lash that I accidentally enlarged once and decided that it filled up the shields a bit.



I'm not sure I've ever done this much free hand on 28mm models.  I like the way this scale forces you to simplify.

They have come out very nicely !!

Yeah, they turned out really well!

Thanks guys.   You've really helped me stay focused on this.  Which can be a problem.

Put some Polyshades onto the armored dwarves and the half trolls.  Well, maybe they are armored half dwarf/half giants or something.   With exceptional beards.



Earlier I had put a wash on the bow and mounted dwarves but I forgot to take a pic.

Space Invader shield designs? Or are they bedbugs?

You didn't recognize Shelob?  You must be terrible at 10mm pictionary.

Varnished and matted the minis.



Also made and basecoated the bases.   



Running out of time to avoid deciding on command basing, painting command figs and doing pendants, etc.  Gah.
