Having looked at the really complex Journey Book instructions for making Amon Sul, I wimped out and bought this instead. That's my hobby budget gone for a month or two

That is super cool! Can you post more photos, maybe some with a few models for a sense of its size? I would appreciate that

Wow, it is gorgeous! Really awesome, I want one at some point though I would be scared to paint it haha. I want to see more scenery pieces like this, even though there probably wouldn't be too many buyers.. Poor hobbits..

The last 3 mounted Nazgul are done:  "Bagginsss?" "Shire???" Just spotted I forgot to do the horses' teeth, so that will need a little touching up at some point

In the Journey Books scenario "The Flight to the Ford" you can play with either the book or film version. I want to play the book version with Glorfindel - This means that Frodo starts on Asfaloth, while Glorfindel follows on foot. So - I took an Arwen/Frodo model and chopped Arwen off!  I went with merging Frodo's cloak into what was left of Arwen's so it looks like a giant riding cloak - Hopefully it will look okay once painted

That sure looks like a merry bunch! Nice work on them, good idea to paint them together so that colours match and you suddenly have the full life cycle ready for action. |

Should've waited a few more months, then you could've had a Merry Christmas! [waits for collective groan from audience.] Anyway, they look great! I'm actually doing my fellowship hobbits right now too. I really like the elven cloak and was wondering if you'd share your paint formula. |

I'm actually doing my fellowship hobbits right now too. I really like the elven cloak and was wondering if you'd share your paint formula. That joke - Oh dear   My elven cloaks are just Vallejo Brown Violet, then a brown wash (I am currently using Army Painter strong tone) then a highlight with Vallejo Russian Uniform. I was previously using those colours for some tanks, and the result reminded me of the elven cloaks from the films enough for me to use it... |

I've made some progress on the river sections:  Still got to fill in the gaps in the foam from where it was bent around to follow the shape, then I can get on with getting some sand on the banks, spraying and painting! Oh, and do the other 2 sections, I suppose

Are you going to make a ford or a bridge for the river? |
|
| Author: | slinky [ Thu Sep 28, 2017 10:25 am ] |
| Post subject: | Re: Slinky's PLOG 28th September - River WIP |
Definitely a ford, and a jetty for the ferry, as both of those are needed for scenarios. May do a bridge at some point, though... |
