Garfy’s Table of Shame

Showcase: Tyranid Tyrannofex

Showcase: Frodo wearing the Ring

I’ve spent hours working on this model, it’s an accurate representation of Frodo wearing the ring. The likeness is uncanny! OK OK, just so you don’t feel hard done by with the lame excuse of a blog entry, read on to see a cool LOTR scene...
