Smoke Ring Miniatures

  Well, this have surely been a marathon. With many ups and downs, breakings and re-engagings, I managed to go through all of the miniatures and scenarios from the Escape from Goblin Town starter set! After all the work (it all started here ), here follows my list of tutorials and progress made on these amazing miniatures: Oin  |  Gloin  |  Fili  |  Kili  |  Bifur  |  Bofur  |  Bombur  |  Ori  |  Dori   |  Nori   Dwalin  |  Balin  |  Thorin Oakenshield   Bilbo Baggins  |  Gandalf   | Radagast Goblin King | Goblin Town Warrior | Goblin [dipping method]   Now, enough with the chit chat: there goes my collection of family photos. Bilbo Baggins with Sting, Gandalf the Grey and Bilbo Baggins with a walking stick. Radagast the Brown and Gandalf the Grey. Balin, Thorin Oakenshield, Thorin with Orcrist and Dwalin. Bifur, Bofur and Bombur. Kíli a...

Mae Govannen! First of all, we're in the end of the so called "hobbit week", which is symbolically marked by the birthday of Frodo and Bilbo Baggins (September 22nd), and I couldn't let the occasion pass without mentioning it on the blog. (P.s.: I've just realised that the "hobbit week" post is the same number of years that Bilbo Baggins is celebrating in the beginning of the book, i.e., 111) As usual, I've started reading the Lord of the Rings by John Ronald Reuel Tolkien this week (I've done so every year since 2011/12, excluding 2017).

...  and half a year later, I'm back (again)!!!!!!!!! Well, while I acknowledge there have been too many pauses on my painting progress, I've reached a conclusion: My will to paint comes in waves (some longer than others) and there's no point in forcing it, since the main objective of this hobby is simply to have a good time doing something that makes me feel relaxed and happy. With that said, here's the so long promised tutorial on Bilbo Baggins at Bag End (from the Lord of the Rings , not the Hobbit ). The miniature belongs to the magazine   nr62   of BGiME. For this tutorial I have decided to try a new approach. There are some aspects that surely need to be re-worked (mainly concerning the photography style), but overall I intend to keep this type of tutorial on my future posts. For Bilbo's skin I used only two highlights since I wanted him to look fairer  than the normal hobbit,  but not lighter than an elf With his hair,...

Hello everyone! The miniature that I'm presenting today was finished more than a month ago, but, as usual, the few time I have to spare has been dedicated to my university course (with no regrets!). Well, this Bilbo Baggins model is another one of those fun to paint minis, with lots of details and things to work on. It's actually a really tiny model, which gave me a bit of an headache (just to think of the Bilbo from the Escape from Goblin Town I'll be painting in the future which is even tinnier... ). A picture with Strider, just for scale! Bilbo really is small. On his left hand he carries the Red Book of Westmarch, while looking at the One Ring, on his right hand. Since it is such a little model, I've decided to exaggerate a bit on the vegetation of the base. I think it looks great! The One Ring! And that's it!!! I'l be surely posting the tutorial on this little guy as soon as possible, hoping you guys like it! Happ...

Hello friends! So, the aim of this 102nd post is to make a preview of the next 5 models that I'll be painting, but first, I wish to make a few considerations. As some of you know (those who have been following my blog), since the beginning of this blog's journey, I've been painting the the Lord of the Rings miniatures that have been released with the Battle Games in Middle-Earth 's issues, in 2002. It has been an amazing jump start for my painting skills and a real pleasure giving hobby. At the time I acquired the collection, I made a little research about the whole thing and found that, in my country (Portugal),  DeAgostini  only had published the first 65 numbers (out of 91). Sad, yes, but if it weren't for it, I'd never had entered the hobby "thing". This fact needed to be mentioned because... well, the next five models are to be the last models of the collection I bought! So... let's get to them: These guys are the nex...
