Here's a couple pics. They are by no means finished...

(The white on Gandalf's hand is primer. I had forgotten he didn't have a thumb until I had already started painting him. A little putty took care of the missing appendage.)

Holy Moly Wendy!

I am...flabbergasted.

Such talent, such colour blending, such detail.

My current efforts shame me smile

Beautifully painted table... I can not wait to see the final result.....

What I said before. Very disappointed that you didn´t take part in, Wendy.
This is the best table I have seen so far!

Milo · Tue, Mar15 2011 8:40am

I love everything Wendy.

The table is perfect. You are the one who chose the proper material on this furniture.

Keep going, slowly...take your time and for sure you'll get a special award at the end ! cool

Did you paint the table, or did you carve it out of marple? Great work! big_smile

shadyt · Wed, Mar16 2011 1:35am

WOW!! Nice to see that you are working on Mithrils again!

Wendy · Wed, Mar16 2011 6:01pm

Thanks guys. smile

Looking great as expected wink , agree totally about the table it really looks like it has been carved from some Elven wood, the subtle colours are very well done.

Wendy · Wed, Apr6 2011 1:12pm

I can't decide what color to paint the chairs. Dark or light wood? hmm

Turambar · Wed, Apr6 2011 1:28pm

Of course dark wood ! cool

But: if you decide the other chance, it could be fit better with the colour choice of the fantastic table . . . roll

Yes, I would say so too! big_smile

Milo · Wed, Apr6 2011 2:10pm

I think no one yet found the right color for the chairs. But We all trust you to find it, as per table. wink

Turambar · Wed, Apr6 2011 2:15pm

NOT ?!

Milo · Wed, Apr6 2011 2:24pm

Sorry, I don't get it Master elf. Can you light my brain ?

hsf62 · Wed, Apr6 2011 3:05pm

What elf is supposed to light your brain? big_smile
I thought Master Archer was talking...

I am talking about that I do not agree with the Forest Warden´s statement, that ". . . no one yet found the right color for the chairs . . . "

Milo · Thu, Apr7 2011 8:36am

Master archer, let me here try to be more precise on my opinion about actual chairs painting:
I made a mistake writing about colors. I was more thinking about the wooden aspects.
Chairs are wooden one for sure and I see no streaks nor knots on any chair.

I tried several wood imitiation painting on chairs without big success
My drawing was not successfull, so I removed it and choose 2 brown colors.
On my table also, I am not completely happy with the result.

Basic principle is : (french tutorial: http://www.master194.com/encyclo/bois/index.htm)
Choose which wood to imitate ==> defines the colors palette
Paint first undercoat color using the bright color
Make the streaks and knots drawings
Add brown glazing several times.

Have fun painting that on a chair in 32mm scale. I really would have to sorce one of these magnifying glasses then. lol

Milo · Thu, Apr7 2011 11:12am

For sure Master Thingol. So let's get back to Wendy's question. What color for chairs ?
Make your own choice is my anwser ! tongue

Here are samples:

hsf62 · Thu, Apr7 2011 12:57pm

lol lol lol
The own inspiration is always the best, at least for yourself;)

Theobald · Thu, Apr7 2011 1:46pm

The best imitation is using natural material ... but that doesn't come very close to paint metal miniatures. wink

Wendy · Fri, Apr8 2011 1:02pm

Hmm, I do love cherry and mahogany. I may have to paint some inlay, perhaps with some nice, dark walnut... smile

I wonder what Mallorn wood would look like? wink
