Many Mithril Pages @ Faerylands

Dwarves and more dwarves. Some of my favorite races ...

And finally some changes. They are very simple, just have something added to the original ....

if you take a tripod and switch of the flashlight the pics might be darker overall, but you don't have the reflection of the light on the minis.

Bring the minis outside and find a spot which is illuminated, but isn't in direct sunlight.

Put the camera on a tripod, and use the timer.

Then spend an hour pulling your hair out to get one "pretty good" picture.

Yes, I agree. It works really well in the late afternoon outside. I try to do that when I can, so the pictures come out really good.

Nice minis Erchamion, love those Dwarves!  And as everyone says, the photos will come.  A tripod and a timer is the hey, with a dash of patience and some nice lighting.  I like what you did with your Olog-hai - what's in the bag? .

Whoops - I was thinking about whether it was the Olog or the half-troll, but am a bit out of practise with Mithrils at the moment, and have only just started getting back in the zone.  Nice work with the head, that's pretty impressive stuff - although I'm not sure what your Mum would think of it .

Only twenty years!!! I stll hsven't finished mine yet .

Nice paint job anyway Erchamion . I had always intended to do this Balrog without wings, until the entombed Balrog came along (which I think size-wise is a lot more probable).

20 years ...So that means around a week for each teeth !

Well done Master Erchamion. You chose very good color scheme. And I agree flaming is well executed.
My 7 years old son congratulates you also.

Well, I will tell you the story of this figure. In the early nineties I made a trip to Barcelona and I used to go to the shop so longed Juegos sin Fronteras. There I bought it and I liked it so much that I was "afraid" to paint because my technique was not very good. I waited to learn to paint better, I was assembled only figure in my cabinet, until ...... now.

Thanks to a project I have with a few friends (and I will tell you later) I have dared to paint now.

And, yes, of course each of we have a vision of the Balrog (something contaminated, if may say so, since we "saw" in the movies really). Always I had in my mind this character with these colors (red brown).

I'm glad you like it!

Excellent use of colours, Master Erchamion. And yes, as it was pointed out before, the way you painted the sword really is something special - a brilliant idea.
