H O L A !
Yes we do like it a lot! Fantastic that you made this possible!!!!

And I hope you stay with us here at MMP, it is worth doing it!

Welcome, Master Elroi.
So you introduced yourself by giving away pics of your painting-skills. Thank you for doing that.
Watching the pics closely, I feel glad to have you here. Perfect paint-job, that is.
Just look around here at this site. There'll be much that might interest you, I think.

...

What terrifyingly beautiful work.

Now I must weep bitter tears of failure!

(Welcome master painter, you are a treasure to behold)

Thanks a lot to all for this welcome and for the kind comments of the minis!

I started in the miniatures hobby many years ago, with old GW blood bowl miniatures and some of the mithril range. I painted them with a poor skill, but anyway I liked a lot the style and atmosphere of the Tubb´s work (I think that his works 15-20 years ago was awesome). After, I became a GW fan (still I am... Evil Empire ), but I keep all that miniatures, and ocasionally I buy some more (after all, I´m a Tolkien fan too).

And now, I´m repainting some of them, to give them a better look, to sell by Ebay. But now, after reading some of your posts here and thinking that the miniatures are relatively easy and quick to paint, I´m reconsidering to keep some of them on my collection, and maybe increase it with some news.

- Kenako: not oils, just Citadel paints
- Theobald, Thingol and rest: I´ll try to post here frecuently, but unfortunately, I have not much time to use in internet forums, and most of it I must give to the spanish-team forum, wich I administrate. Anyway, I think I will became part of this community.
- Arthadan: now I haven`t any mithril miniature recently painted, just old ones. But soon it will change. Promise (and of course, I will not paint orcs in greens)

Here are other of my works:

There is a little scene with lotr GW miniatures, with a little explanation of how I done it

See you soon!

Now, that is the level I was speaking about

Looking forward to see some new paintjobs on Mithril miniatures, Master Elroi.

Sorry Master Elroi, I didn't even welcome you!
Well, I guess I was totally speechless from your painting!
WELCOME TO MMP!

Well, Master elroi, I am about to repaint my miniatures as well. For three years now!
And there is no end in sight, because my project (of repainting them) is boycotted pemanently by new marvellous releases . . .
But not in order to sell them. I want to show them, at last.

But: there is no one you would like to see them . . . 

Master Turambar, I´d like to see your paintwork, of course. Three years of painting is a real hard work to keep they out of sight

And I have to sincere thank you the message on ebay that made me reconsidere the selling of my mithril miniatures. Not only I will not sell any more (fortunately, no one buyed the three on ebay and I will keep them) but I´m now again absolutely hooked on their painting. As soon as I finish to paint my actual collection (maybe 6 months to 60-70 miniatures), I will start buying again to increase mi little world of middle-earth.

And hello, lady Wendy. I post in the ST forum with the same nick (an post a lot), so for sure i´m the same

So you know Diego and Jose: they are truly masters painters!

Probably tomorrow I will post new pictures of my latests miniatures (2 orcs and a Huorn... bad guys)

Beautiful works of art Master Elroi, and a belated welcome to the MMP world . Like other members I too look forward to more painted Mithrils appearing.

.....  great.....

That Huorn is a masterpiece ... each and every details are pointed out perfectly ... alas, Master Elroi, I wish I had your skills ... huooommm rhuom'... rúr'huoommhom .. hom ... thank you for painting a Huorn that perfectly ... keep on, please
