    Hi all, Rich here with a short showcase on the Forge World Defenders of Helm’s Deep miniatures. I painted these for a friend who received these for Christmas from his lovely wife! I really love the detail on the new Middle-Earth, Forge World miniatures, I…

    Showcase: Lord of the Rings Nazgûl of Dol Guldur by Rich

    Guest Poster, 1 year ago 2

    If He had a name, it’s long since been lost. He would have been known only as a servant of evil. One of a number, one of nine. Here are my Nine, a project that started two years ago on the New Years open day…

    Guest Poster, 4 years ago 2

    Hey there everyone, following my last post on Gimli we finally have the Mirkwood prince himself, Legolas. I left him last to paint as I knew he would take the longest to paint and I was right! I hoped some lessons I learnt from painting…

    Showcase: Gandalf the Grey in Moria

    Banzai1000, 4 years ago 5

    Hi all, today I want to show you a blast from the past. It’s Gandalf the Grey in Moria, facing the fearsome Balrog. Sadly I can’t show you Balrog as I never finished him :(. In my mind, I always had the idea to build…

    Showcase: Lord of the Rings Troll

    Garfy, 9 years ago 2

    This plastic troll was quite fun to paint because of the different textures. You have rusted metals, faded old rags, black leather straps and troll skin. The major downside with this model is the pose. As a plastic kit the pose is limited because the…

    Showcase: Frodo wearing the Ring

    Garfy, 9 years ago 6

    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…

    Showcase: Lord of the Rings Mounted Aragorn

    Garfy, 9 years ago 3

    I couldn’t help but notice the complete lack of LotR models on the blog, so I’ve dug out pics of the Aragorn I painted last August for a friend. The slightly smaller scale was interesting to paint. I quite enjoyed it and my friend loved…
