Thanks!

Anvil have confirmed they'll be casting the karkadann (fantasy rhino's) soon, so we'll get another Fallen Dwarf release by the end of the year all going to plan!

Thanks folks!

I knocked up a draft page for a 'fan supplement'. I need to paint up each troop type, I've just used a spearman image for the moment!

Might be January before this hits but it's definitely a thing. It will only be 10 pages or so.

Very nice, I'll also be able to update my list for KOW and DR with the correct names.

Just coming out of a hobby dry spell at the moment... I've decided to work on some of the Thorins Company from Escape from Goblin town.

As usual I find the plastics a bit bland as they are, for characters, so I'm doing minor bits of sculpting and conversions to add some detail.

I'm also mining the three Hobbit Chronicles art and design books for ideas, in addition to my own reading of the Hobbit novel.

Frodo is getting a dark green cloak to wear - Dwalin gave him it a the Green Dragon as they were setting out on their quest. I've intentionally sculpted it a bit stylised to suggest it's not hobbit size and bilbo is modifying it as they go along. I also sculpted stings sheath, and widened the trousers a bit.

Balin just has a hood sculpted, more importantly I've called out his signature forked beard, and also added a little upward pointing tuft of hair to bring out the characterisation a bit more.

Gloin's hands/axes have been repositioned slightly, a cloak sculpted furled up attached to his belt and some minor hair alterations sculpted in. Like a few of the other dwarves I'm shortening their legs to make them more in line with the LOTR dwarf range. He'll wear grey/white clothing based on his novel description (he does come across as a bit of a ladies man with his outfit being white, and being one of the few dwarves mentioned with a wife!)

Thorin will naturally be getting the most work. So far the gem encrusted belt and the erebor key have been sculpted in. He'll have a large cloak, potentially with fur, and will definitely have a long beard! Both arms are being replaced, I'll retain the hollowed oak branch from the film for the left arm, and the right will probably have a dwarven sword (in the novel his use of Orcrist was quite limited). His legs were shortened and I've added in some fur to the boots.

Photos are a bit iffy, still experimenting with a new light tent and getting to grips with an iMac...

Good work on these so far, very interested to see how they'll look once painted up.

Hi MOTN,

As always I'm a great fan of your work! I've had the idea of detailing plastic miniatures for the Rangers of Gondor, but this is even better!
The cloak on Frodo is perfect, very cool sculpting there! The details on Balin are superb as well and the rolled up cloak for Gloin is a very nice touch.
I am really looking forward to that Thorin, I love projects that try to stick to the books and this is probably as close as it gets for Thorin. I am interested in how the long beard will look once finished, the shortened legs already make them more dwarvish. I am just not sure about the key yet, at the moment it looks like it's just glued to his chest.

Cheers,
Bennet

Some more WIP/conversions...

Thorin isn't quite finished yet and needs a few touch ups, but you get the overall composition. The key has become a bit lost under his beard but it's still there and is almost like a tiny little talisman on the miniature - similar the One Ring worn around Frodo's neck. The headband is an attempt to suggest his kingly potential, I'll likely paint it in dull metals or perhaps leather.

Your sculpting skills and vision for your miniatures is astonishing. Truly an impressive sight.

Really lovely work, as ever. The sculpting and converting is top-notch!

Any more Fallen Dwarves/wizards etc. on the horizon? 8)

What are you using for their weapons? Plasticard? what thickness? These are very well done!

Thorin looks far more a match to the book than the film version, really like the way he's turning out.
As usual the standard of your sculpting and conversion work is top tier.
