what a great article!
I like of all it, the intention, the descriptions, the tips, the pictures.

the dimensions and cuts of the pics are good as with many in a row one can follow the steps more easily than when having to scroll down large pics.

I am also impressed with the few decisive steps you achieve so great results!
(when I am thinking about how I mingle and experiment around and change the colour hues or drybrushing colours many times, etc ...)

Very fine article. Clear pics, good step by step explaining and nice results too! The only thing that left to bother was the Warrior of Minas Tirith on the base with his skirt being like there would be a rock inside! You could have filed it to look flatter but it ain't no big thing! Great! :)

Nice work Wojtek!

The troll looks fantastic and the article is nice and easy to read. The step by step pictures finish it off perfectly.

Nice one! ;)

A wonderful article, Viruk.
I loved the look of the trolls when I saw them in your gallery, so an article like this is a real treat. I also appreciate the trouble taken to include details for the base, and will be doing the same in any painting guides I tackle in the future. You have raised the standard for me in that regard. :)

Magnificent results mate, keep on painting.

Very nice, the Mordor Troll looks very good.
You designed the Base very well and the details of the Mordor Troll are very nice.
Also it's easy to read your description.

All in all a fantastic article,Viruk.

I'm a little late; I only now found time to read this through. I liked your trolls a lot when you showed them in the gallery, so it is very nice to see how you paint them.
