Prince Imrahil of Dol Amroth

Here are some pics of my newly painted Prince Imrahil of Dol Amroth. Usually, you are not supposed to mix warm (red) and cold (blue) colours on the same model -but I tried it on Imrahil. Personally, I like the mix and think it worked out rather well. GW reds are really brilliant! At the moment, I am using GW and Wal-Mart acrylics exclusively, but I have ordered the Napoleonic starter set from Foundry to give their paints a try. Also, this model was the first one on which I used Sascha Herm's technique for painting faces (as demonstrated in his DVD). I think his method worked out rather well! It is the first face that I am truly pleased with.

Now, to get a better camera... Mine doesn't have a macro function so I can't show you all the fine details...

Wrinkly Ruffian

Here is a wrinkly ruffian, ready to terrorize some Hobbits! I purposely used a dark base skin tone, and didn't do any blending to achieve a wrinkly look. This Perry sculpt was great fun to paint! I am really starting to appreciate good sculptors... especially the Perry twins.

Gimli on Dead Uruk

Here is a newly finished Gimli model. Click to enlarge the photo. I will be entering him into a local painting competition, so I would love to hear comments!

Tom Bombadil

Here is a Tom Bombadil model that I recently finished. I know, I didn't follow the description from the book exactly. I just picked colours that I thought looked nice!

WIP - Tom Bombadil

Here is a picture of a work-in-progress Tom Bombadil. His blue jacket was great fun to paint!

Rangers of the North

Looking through my unpainted figure shelf, I couln't figure out which models to paint...I wanted something with capes - no more armor for me. Then, I found these rangers, and painted both of them up in two days!

Khazad Guard

Here are some Lord of the Rings Khazad Guard that I finished painting. The rocks on the bases were made from cork, cut and painted grey, than highlighted appropriately. I used a pin-vice drill, some wire, and superglue to attach the models to the cork/rock. I had a lot of fun with the beards, and used red and blue as undercoats for them.

Swan Knight of Dol Amroth

Below is a mounted Knight of Dol Amroth. I chose to mix warm and cold colours on this model, and I thought it turned out rather well.

Prince Imrahil

I just finished painting a Prince Imrahil model for my LOTR collection. My style of painting has really changed since I got Kevin Dallimore's Book, which can be viewed at:
