Just returened and I have to see these marvellous dwarves. Well done Milo!!!! Especially the colour choice of "Oin" I like very much indeed!!!!
Great job so far . . .

In what f#^@$% box did I put that feathered Nori thing.....

All dwarves are great Milo..... I'm sure that all of them will be simply awesome !

Another one who loves your choice of colors!!

Thanks gentlemen, I appreciate all your kind words.

A colleague showed me today pictures of real eagles he shot (with his camera) during his holidays:
      


My goodness...I have to work much more on my 10 eagles...

It is a short-toed eagle. Very nice pics .....

The two photos on the left I think are of a Black Kite (I don´t know if I write well in English.....)

http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milvus_migrans

The right one is a short-toed eagle. Sure. I like birds of prey .....

However, as mentioned Master Milo, it has some pretty colors. By having the gray head contrasts with the rest of the body .....

Wonderful job. I like it, the colors, everything, and I prefere Oin too. I am impatient to see your finished diorama.
Having worked in a falconry, I can spend you photos of eagles. Here are some of them, if you want it the others I can spend them on your mp.
The most known, the white-headed eagle

Here a young eagle "batteleur" in french

And here,Just to see various plumages, A vulture "fauve" :

I hope, there can help you. Plumage is very difficult to paint, good luke for your 10 eagles. But those that I saw are already very well painted

... they do not belong in a cage!

Thanks for all these inspirational pictures ! Now I know I shall reconsider my eagle and put them back on the workbench...once remaining dawrves and wizard  are colored.

As my orginal idea is finisihed, I went this morning on a special place (much higher than my hill) to take pictures.
I am currently gathering it and hopefully, you'll see new topic "The carroc" opening today.

Of course, once Nori is at my home, I will paint him and add new pictures. Don't sress Holger, I need a break after this painting session.

Today, I acheived my 1st mithril painting using Non-Metallic Metal technique.

Not completely satisfied by precision but I quite like the rendering.
So I added few pictures of it in my gallery.

Any advice for improvement is welcome.
