Many Mithril Pages @ Faerylands

.... 2011 in this endless time....

So I will wait with full respect and curiosity and I'm not alone I'm sure

I did finish Aragorn's Leave-Taking yesterday.

It contains the following sets:

M321 - Goldberry
M339 - Elrohir
M342 - Elf-children in tree
M343 - Aragorn's Leave-Taking
M344 - Elven Flower-Maiden


I took quickly pictures in the garden this morning.
Here it is:

 
 
Here with a real sky, trees look much better:

The scenary - like in a movie - or real life! Wonderful!

Yes, I like it also very much !

Excellent all round Milo and I especially like the way Goldberry is paddling in the water - a very good use of the design of this figure.

If I could make one small suggestion (a tip I picked up long ago) and that is to try and clump things like flowers, small rocks etc. in groups of 3, 5, 7 ...... an odd number seems to work better than an even number as it takes away the symetry.

Thanks once again for sharing this.

I started the eagle diorama this week-end with my kids (4 & 8 years old)!

We built a huge Carrock (35cm high) using plaster, and Pyrénées rocks  on saturday.
As it was too difficult to sculpt for them, stairs were changed to a way up path.
We started the painting yesterday. Kids just loved being part of this project.

Tonight, we'll add a final paint brush touch, Then some soil, grass, plants, and a little Beorn's cave.

Then eagles, dwarves, hobbit, Gandalf choice, assembling and painting.
Then Anduin River and several trees.
Then pictures !
Hopefully done by upcoming month.

Of course, no eagle carying on its back being available (except M140...), I will use them while landing.
I like Ted Nasmith's illustration:

That is true. I thought of it also.
But the thing is there is M140 with an eagle and Bilbo in funny position. I managed to find one so M140 will carry the hobbit.

Just a brief status of eagles diorama:
Title: "Carrock" Any other suggestion is welcomed.
Diorama:
Carrock is done. Beorn's cave will be added soon.
Several Trees need a bigger trunk.
The Anduin River base is drying in my garage. Then, natural material will bring it to life.

Miniatures:
Landing zone on Carrock is too small for 14 eagles, 13 dwarves, a hobbit and Gandalf.
I decided to use only 10 eagles including the ones with gandalf and Bilbo.

Here is my painting list:
1 M140: painting started.
2 M301: order is sent to Macroom, waiting for the postman
2 M302: 2 painting almost finished.
2 M303: I will replace orcs by 2 dwarves. 1 eagle painting is started.
2 M304: 2 painting almost finished.
1 MS553: order is sent to Macroom, waiting for the postman

I am trying to select 8 travelling dwarves which would be nearby landed eagles or in eagles claws.
M111, M127, M155, M160, M163, M229, M306
No dwarf is painted yet.

If any off you know a better dwarf candidate, let me know.

Good choice Master Yves! Nino is right, go for it!

Master Milo, I can support you very much with this very ambitious project!
I am curious about the way you will realize this scene . . . 

There is also the possibility to show some pics from your workbench . . .

Well, at least there is first couple Eagle-Dwarf that can be presented.


As yo can see, I need to work more on transparent flying bases !
I hope you like it !
