Smoke Ring Miniatures

Hello dear hobbyists :) This time I present to you the nr54 of the "Battle Games in Middle Earth" collection: Statues and Ruins. Well, for this ones I've made a little research on the film images intending to find where the statues belong and, surprise, they're just some random scenery used along "the Fellowship of the Ring" film. Below are the results of my research: Before the Nazgul arrive at weathertop. Weathertop: the set. Weathertop: the set. When the Fellowship arrive at Amon Hen (Western Border of Anduin) Even in Boromir's death... (Poor Sean Bean :\ ) I've been really amazed and surprised about the results of this research since these statues weren't on my mind until now. Really nice to know a little more about the making of the films. ********************************************************************************** So, lets proceed to the models... As some of you may already under...

Hello guys. Well, this time I've decided to make a guide about walls and fences that you can use to make a long defensive barrier. I have built 3 normal walls, 1 destructed (partly) wall and 1 fence. For all of them I've used the following materials: Pva glue; Fine cardboard; Thick cardboard; Black gesso or plaster; Protection tape; Balsa wood; Sand. So, let us start... First thing I did was the walls themselves. With 15x2 Cm stripes, I managed to get enough height to let a 28mm miniature use it as they please. Three stripes on the thick cardboard should be enough to make 1 wall. All I did then was glue them all together. Now it's time to make the bases. For this I have used a fine but really strong cardboard I had around. Now, with the measures of 15x3 Cm, the bases will have one special yet essential point: the corners of the bases must be cut of in order to make the joints able to be together, like the pictures bellow. ...

So, I finally managed to finish my tower. Don't know about you but it looks more like a Mordor tower than a Gondor one loooool Maybe an ancient Arnorian fortress lost to the armies of Sauron perhaps... Anyway, here are a few pics of it without paint: And now here it is all finished: The rocks: The roads: The gate: A few more details: And finally, the view from the upper part of the tower: *********************************************************************************** I'm sorry for the enormous amount of photos, but this had to be done this way xD I hope you guys like it :) Happy hobbying mates.
