    Primed and greenery airbrushed

    Next step will be to continue painting trunk and leaves and some more work to the base.

    some tone variation to the greenery and some colour to the trunk and base

    Base will need some flock and some tonal variation to the soil/stones, trunk might get a bit more brushwork and I may trim the foliage and possibly add some blossom.

  • Games Workshop and Warhammer white metal

    bought some white metal at the meadows festival including these LotR miniatures all except Frodo – I guess he is invisible. I stripped off the old paint with nitromorse and gave them all new base ready for a fresh coat of primer
