Reduce the mountain!! 2017 painting progress!

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Great work, the rag tag bunch is how Tolkien orcs should be!

If your camera has a "fill in flash" that may also be useful - or covering your flash with greaseproof paper to diffuse the light.

Thanks for the tips, i usuallt put them on white paper, but as it was 2 AM, i was no longer in the mood to make a 'photo booth' 

[petercooman]

So, I could not resist the urge 

Just won an ebay lot with 400 + € worth of models for 93. Too good a bargain to let it pass.

I will be getting:

Uruk hai siege machine
7 uruk hai berserkers
isengard troll
2 uruk banners and 2 captains
2 uruk demolition teams

Cave troll with spear
24 moria goblins
Moria shaman
2 moria captains
Goblin king

Aragorn the king foot and mounted
Faramir foot and mounted
Denethor
Madril

Théoden mounted
Eomer foot and mounted
Eowyn foot and mounted

20 men of numenor
Elendil

Quite  a good haul!

If you want to take on my Shire levy... ⚔️

Well that should reduce someone's lead mountain, just not yours.

I am assured by the fact i still painted more models than i bought this year

Trolls like the CRUNCH noise when they step on hobbits

So, little update.

I have not abandoned my quest just yet, but being back at the job has slowed me down as was expected. to make matters even slower, i am painting the remainder of my mordor orcs, and am trying to make each one unique. So lots of different browns,greens and khaki, but hoping that the end result will be worth it!

just finished the last of the clothing, will start weapon shafts, shields and skin next. After that a lot of washing in different tones to try and differentiate them even further.

Bases painted, highlighted, detailed, edged and pva sealed. 🐋(Couldn't find a seal, will a whale do?)
Lots of bases...

[FierceKitty]

Goblins probably hate bright light, anyway.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Oops, wrong thread! Sorry Peter.

[petercooman]

Oops, wrong thread! Sorry Peter.

No worries  

Finished my mordor orcs today, and am in the process of flocking everything i already painted  

with spear


with shield/hand weapon


with double handed weapons


Togheter with the other orcs and warg riders, now all with flock



so adding 26 models to the tally:

Models finished= 128!

[paulr]

Well done, that man

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Those look superb

[petercooman]

Thanks!!

You might be painting this stuff faster than I'm painting my 10mm LotR inspired stuff.   


Keep up the good work.

I'm putting a lot of hours into it too! 

Just finished applying the flock to everything. Couldn't stand the mix of my old basing with the newly flocked ones so flocked everything!

Next up now will probably be men of numenor or rohan.

[paulr]

Good call, consistent basing really helps the look of figures

[Techno]

Those look t'riffic ! 

Cheers - Phil
