Bonjour les Mithril Nautes !
Joyeux Noël !



Hello Mithril Nautes !
Merry Christmas !

Beautiful !

That is a very nice trio of figures and the backdrop compliments them nicely

Hello MithrilNautes,
I haven't had much time to settle down to paint lately.
Which is not the case for everyone. I took a look at FB. The production of some is impressive. Breizh power !
I can still continue to prepare miniatures.
It takes less time and especially less unpacking.
Maybe that will make my return to brushes easier.
So I find myself with a small white army on my desk.
The beautiful days are approaching, the colors come alive with ... let's hope so

Hello Mithril Nautes,
Still taken from my magic box, little shields put in color...

Hello Mithril Nautes,

Chance of timing Master Gerold ? In any case, great job a new time !

I took advantage of a little free time this weekend to move forward on a project  started one week ago.




For the horse, I tried to paint a dappled iron gray dress.



The color scheme chosen for the jumper is not suitable, it is not in the photos. I have to rework it. Case to follow therefore...

Personal message : Youre welcome Master twirch.

Take care all.

Thank you Thingol for your feedback.
You put a little pressure on me to continue with the project.
I am a fan of miniature russian vityaz, I admire their paintings of horsemen.
I thought to myself why not ?
But the Mithril are not 54mm and currently I don't have too much time for painting.
The dapple of a horse is not easy to achieve on this scale. Evil took me ! I am not satisfied with the current result. I still have a lot to do on the rider and on the horse.
I would like to make a Gondorian pattern in free hand on the rider's tunic but again, it is a technique that I do not master. Roll on the end of the Covid! I will thus be able to benefit from the advice of an extraordinary painter who is part of the Chevalier du Centaure Alessandro Natale.
Do not hesitate to go and admire his achievements.
In the meantime, here are mine

That's excellent work indeed. I really do admire your choice of colours and your skills in painting (not for the first time) ... perfect that seems to me. Keep on, please.
I still keep some spare ones of that figure I once received from Jim Corless (you know the good-old "Time Machine") - those with the head not turned aside but straight ahead. Those conversions are not much widely spread (which means never released). - I think they're somewhere here to be seen in that Mathom House of M. Delving.
Just contact me (the tree) i might be full of surprises for you ...
take care, please

Great paintjobs! The black/white/grey color pattern looks very well.
I tried to paint such a grey horse with white dots myself a few times, but the result was unsatisfying to me. Yours looks wery well succeeded to me.
For comparison, here is mine:

Just  to complete what I mentioned. As I said there's only a very slight difference concerning the pose of the head. Have a look,

Good morning all,

Truly this little Irish factory is full of anecdotal achievements. Here is one of the lifting ! Many thanks to Théobald for sharing one of his treasures with us.

Thank you very much for your compliments.
Do I really deserve them ?
Photos do not always faithfully convey the chromatic reality. But I am glad that you are adhering to the color schemes.
I have always associated the idea that I could have of the armed men of Gondor with that of John Howe. The discovery of the representation of soldiers on the high towers of Minas Tirih, which he made in 1990, immediately resonated with me.


Today, I think I couldn't paint the Gondorian Mithril any other way.


A very long time ago ... while Jacques, by espousing the Godorian color codes, had painted Pippin (and Bergil, ref M 196) I decided to make it exactly negative. While hers was dark with her uniform, mine would be bright, a little like that wonderful light that emanates from J. Howe's illustration.



Well, that's what I was hoping for ...

Thank you, Master Fabrice, I received your message and I will answer soon, but I cannot haste at the moment.

INCREDIBLE !
