Many Mithril Pages @ Faerylands

I like it.... dear friend.... and my curiosity is I think the same... Mirkwood type

Well,
As several requested to see my workbench, I have to say there is none. I paint in the kitchen, in my living room, in the garage or on the terrasse table.

I took several pictures on what is going on near Toulouse.

M163 & M303


M140



M302


Here is the first picture of the Carrock.


I do not want to show more in order to preserve final pleasure.

Great concept Master Milo.... just left us here bigger pictures.... compliments....

Just return here from my WORKBENCH ! At the moment I am glad to have one.
It flows over for miniatures, oil-tubes, materials, brushes and so on . . .
Small photographs, yes they are. But it is a huge concept.
And I see, you have found a really professonal solution concerning these transparent bases. That looks good.

Proof and pictures please Master Milo.....

Looking great Master Milo - I counted nine eagles - I haven't finished one yet! , although Gandalf and Gwahir is almost done.

I look forward with anticipation to the finished result.

I can't wait to see the finished project!

This diorama will become a real little gem Master forest warden.... from Mithril fairyland....

Thanks Masters.
Master Turambar, I wonder when you get some sleep seing the time you send your posts !
Regarding River, I tried every "water effect" from PA without being conviced by the final result (and the expense...).
At the end, I found some resin for "Jewel" imitation called "Gedeo chrystal resin".
It is sold in 750ml for 24€ (much cheaper than others). It dries quickly (in 12H), you can color it using stained-glass window inks.
It is fully transparent at the end and very strong.

Stunning work Milo!  Très beau travaille! 

I am happy with you Master Gardener

Yesterday evening, I read again the Hobbit "Unexpected party" chapter to check which color for my carrock Dwarves I shall use. 
First, to me, I have always imagined hood & cloaks being the same colors.
This re-reading led me also to a small conversion for this project: I will replace the axe on M229 to make a nice Kili with shovel (using M100).

I know that purists might highlight the fact that only Thorin, Gandalf & Bilbo have a weapon at the time of this Carrock event as Gobelins took every things from the company.
Still, I must rely on existing Mithril dwarves, so armed ones will have axes except Thorin with Orcrist and Kili with a showel.
This to reflect the book as much as I can.


I have decided to allocate dwarves miniatures to the following characters:

1 M111: Fili with blue hood & cloak, weapon: Axe
1 M127: Ori with grey hood & cloak, weapon: Axe
1 M140: Dori with purple hood & cloak, Bilbo in dark green hood given by Dwalin, no weapons
1 M155: Thorin with Sky blue hood & cloak with a silver tassel, weapon: Orcrist
1 M160: Balin with red hood & cloak, no weapon
1 M163: Bifur with yellow hood & brown cloak, no weapon
1 M229: Kili with blue hood & cloak + conversion (see below), no weapon
1 M306: M306A:  Gloin with white hood & cloak, no weapon
             M306B: Oin with brown hood & cloak, weapon: Axe
1 MS538: Bombur with pale green hood & cloak, weapon: Axe

The 3 missing dwarves will therefore be the following:
Dwalin with dark green hood & cloak and a blue beard (Bilbo already in dark green, Bombur also in green and the blue beard do not inspire me at all)
Bofur with yellow hood & cloak (Bifur already in yellow)
Nori with purple hood & cloak (Dori already in purple).
