Tough to vote again this month. The standard of painting is getting higher each month.
POW - your base is fantastic!!!
Celevue - Again fantastic base. Like others have said in the other thread I didn't see the head on the base and now i know its there i don't know how i missed it. Great work!
Dr Grant - I find myself voting for your entries more and more of late as they are getting better and better each month. Bilbo's sword looks great with the shading and highlights in the right places and the use of the radagast base - genius!
Barks - Brave entry this one as the Glorfindel ft unarmoured model is a tough model to paint. You've definitely done it justice. One thing that stands out that could be improved is the shading around the eyes - it looks a little harsh. If you applied the same level of shade/ highlight as you have done on the hands it will make all the difference to the overall appearance. Well done. Great entry.

But who to vote for?

I think its got to be PowerofWill for me this month. I love to work on big scenic bases and his base is an inspiration. Well done bud.

Er, I could be wrong but I thought that Bilbo comes with a tree stump Kev? ;)

I voted Power of Will. Love the large scenic base. Not too mention it showcase's one of my favorite characters. :)

All other entries look great. Keep up the good work one-ringers!

Celevue; that base is fabulous, but for me that red is a bit bright.
For me this vote goes to dead Marsh Spectre, that's brilliant.

I had to go with Celevue. That base is incredible, I'm not a fan of scenic bases as I game, but with this one base I'll make an exception lol

Cheers for the kind words Kev, the tree stump Bilbo's hand's on comes with the model, the other 3 logs and the spiders are from the Radagast base - maybe I'm half genius :-)

It's DMS for me this month, that sword is just incredible. It impresses me even more having spent a while trying to achieve a similar result, completely inspirational as always!

Well done to everyone else too, great stuff all round!

I knew there was an element of Radagast's base in there Dr Grant. As i said previously... Genius! Well done.

That'll teach me to be such a smart alec :-D

Well done all round. My vote went to Celevue. A very believable looking fallen statue underneath a gritty looking Gimli.

This is a hard one to pick.

DMS's NMM is IMO :D

However, I am a sucker for a scenic base. So that whittled it down to Dr G, PoW and Celevue. All outstanding, but I had to go with Celevue for the originality and creativity - and I like dwarves :wink:

It was between PoW and DMS for this one in my opinion.

PoW- Fantastic basing and complemented with exceptional paintwork.
DMS- Outstanding as always with your top quality work. That is also very interesting NMM you have achieved there on Aragorn's sword.

What turned it for me was the dirty cloak on DMS's Aragorn. So DMS gets another vote from me but a fantastic job by all participants :D

This one was a more straightforward decision for me - well done everyone but DMS wins it on painting, basing, mini-preparation and photography - because his photos are so clean and clear that every tiny detail is visible. It is a beautifully painted mini. Very well done!

Dr Grant gets my Vote , BRAVE NMM attempt , pulled off reasonably well , base is very intricate , seems like some sort of butterflies in the weeds flying off.
