Re: Turtles are coming!
.... I like your way of making diorama concept Christoph... reminds me on me when I was doing big WWII dioramas. Long time ago..... maybe one day I should take back from past this praxis. But I glad to see how the turtle would be... and I saw some walls on sketch book 
or I imagine this......

Re: Turtles are coming!
OK, the turtle is finished, also a lot of pictures has been taken. These are the selected ones, hope you enjoy the project:

Re: Turtles are coming!
Wow - really cool stuff! Are they in the midst of besieging Helms Deep, worried about being struck by arrows and stones?
Great conversions, painting and concept!
PS: I have one small issue with some of the sculpts. I find it odd that Chris models certain figures to hold a shield just with their hand. I've always thought that the only way to hold a large, metal shield is with straps around your forearm. But that is just a curious statement about the models! It doesn't change that this is a beautiful diorama!
Well done!

Re: Turtles are coming!
.... in same time on facebook and here on line with you Master from Mirkwood... I have no doubt that your diorama will be beautiful painted piece of Middle earth art... those orcs are simply wonderful and they look so real... I would not be happy to see them in the dark.... 
those choice of colors become my inspiration fore future Mithril painting jobs... I hope I will see them once face to face....

Re: Turtles are coming!
Absolute Spitzenklasse!
Very impressed!
Is the "other side" planned already to attack the turtel????

Re: Turtles are coming!
Right you are, Master Thingol. But I cannot provide the pics I have, and there are even more of further projects, on his "workbench" or corks. - I always feel honoured to have a "first look" at those concepts.
Master Thingol, maybe one day we might be able to convince Master Turambar to provide some more pages of his "Sketch-book".
That one is a marvel, as I once said before. I only know a few pages ...
