Re: My Work
Nice one JD - somewhat partial to Rohirrim, I'm guessing 
?

Re: My Work
You guessed right, Master Axe! The Rohirrim are my favorite.

Re: My Work
Well, it has been a long time since posting in some of my work, so here goes:
Tell me if his skin color is ok. I wasn't sure if it should be a dark gray or the color I used. Let me know.

Re: My Work
I think the skin color is perfect! 
Too many people just use grey, green or similar colors for trolls. I think more of a fleshy color is a nice change. Good work - but aren't you aiding and abetting that troll in the destruction of your beloved Rohirrim??

Re: My Work
mmh, the skin colour of Trolls is also my problem. That´s the reason the cleaver-Troll is still unpainted.
I think the fleshy-tone is a good alternative, Jason, really.
As far as I am concerned I am still searching for an answer.
Maybe the magic was the most powerful force in the world. But that was long ago.

Re: My Work
First off, thanks for the compliments. Second, do you all think I should paint the rest of my trolls the same skin color?
Let me know.

Re: My Work
Jason, I have to tell you a clear: yes. Let me explain. I think it is important to be consequent. That there is a " line " in coloration. For me it makes more sense,
when all Trolls have the same color-sceme. ( nevertheless there are different Troll-races. )
Otherwise there are fleshy, green and black ones, for example, and when I visit you somewhere in Taxas I think:
mmhh, this man can´t decide on which color to use for those Trolls. I would give all Trolls the same color.

Re: My Work
Personally, I like variety in the skin colors (they could be trolls from different regions, or different species of trolls). However, if you want to select a similar skin color for all of them I think your choice is a good one.
Also, you are a better painter than you give yourself credit for! The details look fine. The armour looks nicely detailed. Your color choices are nice.
Maybe a little more shading or highlighting would add to the appearance, but that is fine-tuning. Overall, your figures make a nice presentation and would look good on a display.

Re: My Work
Thanks Christoph! I will do it then. The M49 is half-way done and I will post it when I am finished.

Re: My Work
Don't make these guy's angry. You never know what they are up to.
I'm glad I don't have to paint them. I wouldn't know what colour to use for the skin eighter. But the colour you picked is not bad at all.

Re: My Work
Nice paint job and colors! By the way, I like these models better than GW Haradrim.
By the way, if anyone around here is a fast painter - it's you!

Re: My Work
Well, as you have seen my details are not that good, but I am happy with what I do.
The GW Haradrim are really bad! I did not like them in the movies at all. Mithril is far superior!
Thanks for the compliment.

Re: My Work
. . . seems that there is still some of that Vodka in my blood when I have a look at the picture, Jason . . .

Re: My Work
The skin tones look good Jason, it is good to see some variation, I seem to get stuck on the same track and need to vary colours a bit more.
Keep up the good work

Re: My Work
Good start. I can already imagine the finished diorama!
I'm happy to life in Bree and not close to this cave!

That is a record. Compared to myself with one painted mini in the last 3 years!

Hey!, I have too the same rhythm of painting ....
That if, I used to paint a pair in one afternoon 10 years ago 
Incidentally, Jason, I like what comes out of the cave
¡Fuera, viejo Tumulario! ¡Desaparece a la luz! ¡Encógete como la niebla fría, llora como el viento en las tierra estériles, más allá de los montes! ¡No regreses aquí! ¡Deja vacío el túmulo!
