      Hi everyone! I’ve got the Escape from Goblin Town set and I’ve started painting Thorin’s Company from the set. I’ve started with Bombur, as I really love this sculpt, I am so happy with how it came out and I really loved painting it! As…

      Showcase: Legolas from the Hobbit

      11

      Legolas in plastic is an awesome model. A joy to paint! Whilst the detail is small, it is crisp and with care and attention reasonably easy to paint. More pictures after the jump (over the log). The hardest part to paint were the eyes. I…
