There And Back Again - An OTTer's Journey
Being Entish, Elvish & A First Age Distraction...
Some of my recent work has been on a few individual miniatures within the collection. I picked up Treebeard for “something to do”. It was a pain to glue together but painting it was a lot of fun.
I particularly liked working on the basing for Treebeard. It has made me want to work on some more of the Ents from the GW range.
I also got to paint up an Elf that I’ve wanted for ages, Gildor Inglorion. My plan is to use him alongside Elladan, Elrohir and Arwen to do a small Elven force.
I just need to get some of the exiles and they should marry up nicely to the Rivendell Elves that I already have in my collection. I quite like them as a band of Elves tasked with watching over the roads to Rivendell.
Last but not least, the First Age distraction. I was recently inspired by a Middle-earth content creator to have a look at working on some miniatures for The First Age.
Beregond & Lothlorien Captain = Turin Turambar & Beleg StrongbowI’ve done some cleaning up on these miniatures and got rid of some of the work on the armour for Beregond in order to turn these into miniatures for that First Age period. Turin is missing his dragon helm but I think it still works as a miniature for him!
I was trying to work out the profiles to use for both of them. Beleg should clearly by Legolas but I’m unsure on Turin. I could run him as Aragorn but I think Faramir might actually be a better fit. Perhaps someone more Elven would work though if I had a look through the different profiles.
Any help would be gladly appreciated!
Lovely work on Treebeard.
