Many Mithril Pages @ Faerylands

Magnificent work David. Very nice painting. Congratulations. Competition is very serious, the contest is going to be tight

This really is excellent, Master Ddaines, the skilled artisan ... and quite large with so many detailed figures in it. Thank you for providing those pictures here.

So glad it's almost over , just have to muster the enthusiasm to complete the accompanying dioramas to complete my original idea. I may just need a small break though .

I can only say good luck with your entry Sevlag - very well done and detailed.

I will try and get some more images in the Gallery once I have managed to re-log in.

Thanks for the kind comments.

Dear David... this is awesome piece of diorama... great indeed. I like all seen on your photos. Here and on facebook... you should put this photos on your gallery here on MMP so we could look on them...more often...  do it.. please...

I aim to do so Nino, but had trouble logging on. Once I have it sorted I will do

Awesome David!!! I am wishing to see more and bigger pictures of it, from now on, i like the weathering on the roofs and the differently coloured stones, making it more real

Good luck to both of you David and Sevlag on the Table Top competition!!!

I will be honest. I don´t like the buildings. Sorry, it seems, that I am the only one. Too much details for the "mithril-style". But this is only my taste.

EVERYTHING else ( taht includes the painting of the buildings ) is absolutely awesome. The selection of figures is brilliant. (And they fit together, that´s not usual!),
also the composition. And especially the high painting standart- as usual, Master Dave!
Well done!!!!!
(if you need a second house for all your dioramas - tell me, maybe I can help . . . )

, A second house would indeed be very helpful Chris, maybe a castle would be even better .

Re the buildings, an honest opinion is always welcome - TTW stuff is extremely detailed, almost like a scaled down builder constructed them. I have to admit I do like them a lot, but each to their own .

Some 'other' figures arrived today which do appear to be very nicely detailed, so I will see how they look with another TTW building I have.

Thanks all for the kind comments.

Stunning. Crisp. Characterful.

I don't think the houses are too detailed, or that the painting would lift forth too much detail. They look rather realistic to me.

Well finally finished this one (albeit a couple of weeks ago now) and lots of lessons learned! I had considered a hand-painted backdrop, but wasn't happy with the result and as I had a show deadline looming I had to go with something already printed.

The scene is now lit from within (I did create an aperture at the top to let light in, but it was ineffective). The frame isn't as warped as the image suggests, I blame the camera lens .






Hope you like the final result.

Fantastic! Could we beg to see some close-ups of the figures?

Once I saw a lot of pics showing details of that absolutely marvellous diorama, can't remember where. Wasn't it in connection with an exhibition?
I also think that the two pics here are a bit too small. Furtheron I'm slightly irritated about the foreground which shows an irregular dark area I cannot identify.

Some of the images may be better viewed at http://www.mithril.ie/PBPhotos.asp pages 3 - 5 of my gallery on the Mithril galleries under David Daines.

The black irregular bit at the bottom Master Tree is from when it was a 'stand-alone' diorama and it wasn't definite (although intended) to build the box. Had I been Master Archer, the planning would have been better .
