Re: MB560 Contest !
I will expect exactly this kind of help tomorrow! So I have to finish everything tonight!

Have fun painting that map Milo...
For something like that I'd need a XXXXL magnifying glass:lol:
I am not sure I will succeed in this a challenge.
But it's worth it to try !

Re: MB560 Contest !
All painting is done, Milo. I have to assemble different "things", super glue is necessary also . . .

Good to see you have finsihed your paintting.
Regarding assembling, I had to drill a bit the table legs.
I am far from taking pictures, but I paint one evening per week and received the box only 20 days ago. Be patient master warden...

Re: MB560 Contest !
It's always worth a try! If you don't try you'll never find out if you can do it! 
Where there is a will there is a way, just as there are no problems, only solutions! Guess it depends on ones own perspective of the matter at that time

Re: MB560 Contest !
I guess everyone will keep his work hidden as other painters have not finished yet.
And what is to point to show the MB560 contest winner too early ?
Some would stop their painting or refuse to submit it !

Re: MB560 Contest !
I painted Saruman yesterday. I just got stuck with the scarf color choice.
Does any here have a clue on which fits better ?

Re: MB560 Contest !
That was not the answer I would expect from a such creative gardener.
I feel white is a too easy choice. I would imagine something very light and noble. But I do not find my way....

Re: MB560 Contest !
there are different shades of white ... some blend into grey and then all the way down to black (and back again)

Re: MB560 Contest !
Where is all the imagination and the passion gone when there is no idea left how to paint: Saruman the White . . .

Re: MB560 Contest !
Thanks every one for your support !
I have decided to try some elvish white drawing on a silver scarf...
But it will take more time, and there are only 14 days left.
I have with 4 characters to paint, and then all details highlights, then pictures.
I shall hurry this week.

Re: MB560 Contest !
Returning back from the photographic-session, I have to conctat, that there are nwe conversions around . . .
Believe me: it is harder to take professionals photographs as to paint these minis . . .
Something like sailing along the edge of frustration . . .

Re: MB560 Contest !
I painted Cirdan yesterday. I like this mini very much. And I am happy with the painting results yes, it has met my expectations.
Master Caster, I managed to paint Dol Guldur sketch. That was very funny. The little map is a 6x5 mm rectangle. a quarter of my smallest nail

Re: MB560 Contest !
I agree to you completely, my friend Estel. Absolutely one of the best sets EVER !
But what about the flat face of Master Elrond?!
There is a conversion coming AFTER the contest . . .
PS: what does it mean, the "end" of February?!

Re: MB560 Contest !
I agree about Elrond flat face. There is something wrong with him that gives me strange feeling. I did not start his painting because of that unexpression.

Maybe once coloured I will discover the right expression.
