Khandish Chieftain

 Hello again to all.

And here is the finished Khandish Chieftain. Base and all:










The pictures make the horse look brown when it's supposed to be a darkish grey. I'll figure out what went wrong with lighting or the camera.
The back part of the base is supposed to be burning wood, (or rather burnt wood with fire embers still glowing) with burnt grass around it. The other side is the original grass un-burnt. What do you guys think? Does it look like burning wood?
Hope you guys like it. Thanks again for the kind remarks.

Let There be Light!

Well, it's been nearly a month since my last update.
With graduation coming in the next few days, my life has been very busy.
I've done quite a bit of work from painting models to adding more to Helm's Deep.

To start off, why don't I show you my work for the May Painting Challenge.
It's not a Hasharin but it fits the requirements.
Here is my Khandish Chieftain.









I've recently invested, (or rather followed someone's idea) and made a light "box" to take pictures of models.
It's a milk jug cut to have an opening on the top with a white sheet of paper in it. It really makes a difference.
A few examples:

Goldberry:

Inside the "box":


Cropped:


And edited (Auto correct button):



Another example:
King Theoden:

No "box":

And finally:
Saruman:

And so...
Here are some models I've worked on, or finished, or just wanted to take pictures because I could.

Khandish Warrior (WIP):



Saruman of Orthanc:




Smeagol/Gollum:



Banner of the Dead (Natarn Sculpt):


Tom Bombadil:


Tom and Goldberry:


Gothmog (WIP I think):


Frodo and Sam:




Barrow-wights:





Well that's it for the model side of things. For now anyway.

I have a lot more pictures of other models and Helm's Deep, but I'll put those on later after my doctors appointment.
I also need some static grass for my Khandish Chieftain.
So, till next time!

It's Finished!

Helm's Deep is FINISHED!!!!

It's not to the level of painting or modeling that I wanted, but it had to be finished for the presentation. That doesn't stop me from adding more paint to where I'm happy with it and add essential details that were left out due to lack of time. (2 towers were left off the inner walls to compensate for time). Plus, I still need to finish, or rather start the Deeping Wall half of the table! And paint the defenders. And paint 10,000 Uruk-hai! We'll see how far I get on that part of things.

So, to start off, Here are the pictures for my March Painting Challenge entry over on the One-Ring, Grimbold and his Helmingas. Also, there is my finished Eowyn, the sculpt that I love the most of her and a comparison of colours to Grimbold to see how well they blend in with "regular" Rohan colours.















And now, here's a picture of the last update I gave you guys. Then I'll just show the progression till the finished (partly anyway) project!




Notice the causeway. I've since changed that...

...to this.




I got really busy at this point so I forgot to take pictures for a while.

Now for the progression pictures:








Here's the rest of the update pictures.
Enjoy!























Here, I decided to add some of my interpretation to the project. I added this level to the keep so archers can shoot out of the arches.
A later project is to add the throne room (?) behind here where Theoden rides out, with stairs leading up to this level.












And that's it. Don't have pictures of the installed gate or the stone work, but I'll get those as time goes on.
Hope you enjoy! Now I need to set up all my models on it to see how it looks. 8)
Till next time!
