[Arbornoctua]

excellent paintjob and a great base"work"!

[JudgeGudge]

@Arbornoctua Thanks, I want to do a slightly larger one at some stage. For some of the Eleven Swords Men you sent me.

[gwpaints]

did you use vallejo paints?

[JudgeGudge]

@gwpaints Yes I did, I usually use Vallejo.

[TheTabletopFreak]

looks really nice.

[JudgeGudge]

@TheTabletopFreak Thanks

[TheImperialCrusade]

how did you do the gold on it it looks awsome?!?

[JudgeGudge]

@TheImperialCrusade The gold was a base coat of Vallejo Model Colour Ochre. With a Vallejo Game Colour Leather shadow and a Vallejo Model Colour Buff highlight. Then some DevlenMud wahed on the shadows and receses. The top edges where highlighted with Vallejo Model Colour Pale Sand. I hope this helps

@linkinhearts666 Thanks mate.

[HollowVampire]

A tutorial of how certain parts were accomplished would be great!

[JudgeGudge]

@HollowVampire Sounds like a good idea, what part did you want to know about?

[HollowVampire]

@JudgeGudge Where do I start..? xD

[TheChesneyChrist]

Awesome dude think ye left it spinning a bit too long but the mini is beautifully painted :)

[JudgeGudge]

@TheChesneyChrist Thanks and yes your right it is spinning a bit too long. I was trying a new camera out and then I was in a hurry to upload it and... Anyway I'll do a better job of editing the next video.

[Generalsplatton]

Wonderful figure my friend! The base gives the model such life by placing it so concretely in a believable setting.

[JudgeGudge]

@Generalsplatton Thanks, this did start out as a basing exercise. When it was finished a LoTR mini seemed to fitt it nicely. So I thought I have a go at NMM as well. So it's been a bit experimental but come out well iin the end.

[asjarra]

Ach! Gorgeous!! :D Love the highlighting buddy and the sword metallic is so lovely, as is the shading and shadow on the face. How do you seal the base? Amazing! Will u do more LOTR?

[JudgeGudge]

@asjarra Thanks mate, It's the first time I've really tried non metalic metal and I think the sword has come out very well.The base has been sprayed with Army Painter matt varnish. I've not actually varnished the model yet because there are a couple of areas I think I might touch up first. As for doing more LoTR. I will be at some stage. I got quite a few Elves off Detlef in a trade.

[Jedijim252]

Fantastic job and the base is extraordinary...will look great in a showcase of showcase minis...very nicely done...Jim.

[JudgeGudge]

@Jedijim252 Thanks Jim, It was tgood fun doing the display base. I've never tried a base like that.
