Roast Mutton

Well here are the three Trolls in all there 'orribleness! Barrels and sacks are from antenocities and are resin. The base is a McFarlane Ozzie Osbourne as a werewolf toy.

I decided (so I didn't have to paint a fire) to have the trolls just setting up their cooking fire.

I had thought about Bilbo, and Gandalf, I had even thought about having the trolls painted to look as if they were turning into stone sort of half skin colours and half stone colours (there's an idea for someone?) with an old Gandalf figure raising his staff at the dawn.

But in the end....... big_smile

Re: Roast Mutton

On second (or rather third) look, how did you create those realistic trees?

Re: Roast Mutton

I agree with Master Estele... smile crazy ways are best ways to make new words on diorama scale.... lol I would make only trolls on stoned version with Gandalf and Bilbo and dwarves eating sausages on trolls barbecue smile

That's the one Gildor, and that also answers your question Master protozeus wink.

Unfortunately with the £/Euro exchange rate at the moment I shan't be buying extra GF figures sad so some of my ideas will have to remain just that, unless someone else takes up the ideas.

Re: Roast Mutton

I really like that diorama. I didn't like the trolls much, but now have seen this they start growing closer.
Very well done Master ddaines!

Where there is a will there is a way, just as there are no problems, only solutions! Guess it depends on ones own perspective of the matter at that time big_smile

Re: Roast Mutton

Beautiful! I think the best thing you can say in this situation is that I saw this diorama setting back to the book. It is as if he were reading it again! Congratulations, Master David!

¡Fuera, viejo Tumulario! ¡Desaparece a la luz! ¡Encógete como la niebla fría, llora como el viento en las tierra estériles, más allá de los montes! ¡No regreses aquí! ¡Deja vacío el túmulo! Perdido y olvidado, más sombrío que la sombra, quédate donde las puertas están cerradas para siempre, hasta los tiempos de un mundo mejor. Tom Bombadil LOTR1

Re: Roast Mutton

Simply wonderful, Master Ddaines. Excellent atmosphere.
Our Elf again proved that his mind is still intact.
Just one thing there's left to be said:
William is holding mutton, Tom is holding a hind leg of a horse and an amphora of red wine ... at least that's what The Man told me. Here good old Tom seems to be spilling some milk ...
Sorry, I just tried to find something to criticize big_smile
