Defenders of Mirkwood

More Hobbit elves!

My first adventure with a figure cast in finecast and have to say it lives up to its nickname of "failcast".  I found it a truly awful material to work in, I struggled at times to make out the details on the figure so while I do like the pose of the Ranger Captain I am disappointed overall with the sculpt.

Luckily Legolas and Tauriel were cast in metal and plastic respectively and turned out nicely though if I was doing Tauriel again I would custom build a base for her to fit in with the other figures.

Mirkwood Rangers (Part 2)

My second batch of Rangers is finished and very pleased with them I am too!

I asked for some advice on the net for taking photos and armed with a new app for my phone I think I have actually manged to do them justice!

Mirkwood Ranger

I have always love the world of Middle Earth created by Tolkien and the figures from the Hobbit movie are some of the best that GW was produced.  I loved the Mirkwood Rangers as soon as I saw them and finally picked up a box last week.

This the first of them I have painted up and a very nice figure he is too.
