Colors are relative... If you want to make the colors on your model pop more, just add a little bit of contrasting colors next to it. pushing the yellow more towards orange (just the shadows and midtones) you would archive a focus on the bow and make the blue pop more. I really like the cool and und...

First of all: Beautifull job! Its always a thing of beauty watching someone plan and execute an interesting and challenging project while putting their heart into it! When I was at that point I never imagined going to LotR models, as I owned a few old Gondorians and even rivendell elbes and they see...

Well, after a few days of digesting I came to the conclusion, that I dislike many of the design choices, as they moved away from the classic high elves aesthetics (which they were allready doing while whfb was still alive and kicking btw): - the scalemail is way to chunky - the pointiness was all bu...

Well, I owned a second hand airbrush for a long time, but didn't use it much often, as for each minute spraying I spent 30 minutes cleaning. This spring I got a new airbrush and started to absolutely abuse the sh**** out of it. I'm still spending much time on cleaning, but the results are really nic...

I put a step-by-step on my recently opened instagram account - link below It's way easier to upload WIPs that way I noticed :-D https://www.insta9pho.com/media/2081622480111462950/BzjaJ3jguom basically I tried out lots of different things and ended up mixing them all together - heated clear plastic ...

https://i.imgur.com/eYY1Pwj.jpg at this point the project wanders of into the cabinet. everything is glued into place, a few corrections still needed (like removing the piece of blu tack from under the front guy) As this unit was initially planned for gaming purposes, there is a full command group ...

https://i.imgur.com/UkjOM39.jpg This Project is coming to a finish, with only the last touches left on the base and the banner. I decided to scrap the idea of a jungle/ruins base and instead went for a combination of an elven staircase and rough waters - a setting during the Sundering of sorts. I a...

should work now... I guess?

Imo maybe the best sculpt in the Last Sword range. Good choice!

After breaking up with photobucket here some other angles.. Maybe resizing helps for now with the quality? https://i.imgur.com/kO2zUiJ.jpg https://i.imgur.com/lVlJvVM.jpg https://i.imgur.com/eNb9aNV.jpg https://i.imgur.com/o0NGMyf.jpg And here is Teclis just before priming (ok, his feet aren't finis...

Things are progressing, although at a sluggish pace... Swordmaster Champ / Loremaster / Eltharion the Blind almost finished. Gonna post some updates on him and his friends on finished bases sometime in the next weeks... Tried out OSL for the first time. Happy with the result, although it's not perfe...

I don't know why, but somehow this unit has a strong Gondor/Minas Tirith vibe going on there... Or is it just me? otherwise great use of the better proportioned DE models. If they would just come with scale armour instead of chainmail... but sculpting scales gets really tedious for large troop numbe...

Eager to see some pictures!

I just picked up a paint brush for the first time in 2 years!! :o In Jan 2017 I split up with my girlfriend, it was the best relationship I’ve ever had and the only one I’ve ever thought would “last forever”. Looking back I can tell that the communication skills (from both of us) weren’t good enoug...

As a matter of fact, there is some. Not as much as one would hope after so much time, but somehow quite steadily - considering the fact, I had to move twice now in the past 12 months... blabla, excuses. One big factor was the destruction of the old world, so my hope to wield my high elves sometime o...

Still alive and kicking! Though I'm in the middle of my final exams, this topic is still active - just at a veeery slow pace... ;-) While the small group of sword masters has been painted (no photos available at the moment), I somehow felt the unstoppable urge to convert my own version of teclis - q...

Hi guys, remember this guy? http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y461/Avendigo/20140707_1406212_zps97e33b76.jpg After only sculpting and working on the turkey for quite some time I suddenly felt the need to take up the brush again and paint something from the allready primed group of finished convers...

Your Silverhelms are a true stunner! Not many people out there can claim to have such a individual and characterful unit! Thank you for sharing it with us! If I may ask,... Why did you spent so much time on converting them? (And only them?) I can only imagine, what your creativity could have done to...

Pretty sure its the chariot horses with sculpted (GS?) barding and the wing-head-ornaments from tyrions malhandir. Thats why I'm so eager to see them in detail - haven't seen this conversion yet.

Clean and tastefull painting, crisp freehands! A little bit worried about the introduction of a new colorrange with alarielle, doesn't it disturb the coherence of the armies color scheme by making it too multicolored ("ragtag")? Looking forward to seeing nice closeups of the converted silv...

These last few months it has been silent here. I've spent many hours on this little beast, but sadly not nearly as much as it requiered. Yesterday was my selfimposed deadline for me to finish it. But is it truly finished? Maybe I'll continue working ot it, maybe I'll take a pause and focus on finish...

That other griffon, what model is that? And could you provide close-ups pls?

Looking good, nice and fresh color scheme!

Slow but steady progress... http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y461/Avendigo/GriffonWIP2_zpsd5c10076.jpg @NexS: The Putty you see here is indeed a 50/50 mix of SuperSculpey firm gray and Fimo classix beige. Apart from that I use selfhardening stuff like GS or GS mixed with milliput or magic sculpt ...

Thank you guys! Really appreciated. While I got stuck lately with painting my first batch of Swordmasters I regained my Motivation and Inspiration to continue with my griffon. Even though I started working on him roughly 1,5 years ago, my progress isn't very far yet. I guess there is no other mini I...

Great idea pulled of to a pretty high standart!
The only thing still missing imo is the overall contrast (maybe its bc of the photos though), especially on the red armor plates...

Like!

When I started painting again recently I bought the army painter set and added some vallejo model and airbrush colors where I needed them to compliment the color range. The new GW range isnt up to par with vallejo or even the old GW paints. Those where pretty nice tbh...

I enjoy your approach in terms of colors very much! Allthough it doesn't go along with the GW fluff very much (it somehow can be made though!), its very refreshing and inspiring to see sth different working out so well!
Please show us some closeups on the eagles as well!

What's gonna come up next?

While the second prototype's beeing painted, here a quick update of the showbase WIP. Some details and the swampy water are missing, but you can see where this one's going...

Just to demonstrate better what I meant I'll use a photo of my recent Seaguard WIP. You'll see the result soon on my plog. http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y461/Avendigo/IMG_7566_zps23999c72.jpg That doesnt look like a big time saving advice though :mrgreen: :mrgreen: That masking part isn't real...
