Dark Mage with Female Orc Maiden (Dark Alliance)

While I was checking my pictures, I realized that I didn't show those figures from Dark Alliance painted in November 2019 ... (just before the Pandemic starts in China ...)

Well, it's just a Mage ( or Wizard or sorcerer OR Magician or whatever you want ) which is supposed to be a kind of Saruman.
For the female Orc, well it's the only one I know in 1/72 (MITHRIL has done some in 32mm scale).
And no, I've not painted the other figures of this set...

I've painted many figures in the past weeks, so I have a lot to show in the next posts... stay home !

" My Precioussssss.... Gollum ! "

Different variations of a  repainted Kinder Surprise LoTR figure.
The roll is home made with real Toilet Paper..

Another Hobbit ...Fredegar "Fatty" Bolger - MITHRIL

I've forgotten this "little" fellow last time ( so he didn't go to the picnic .. poor Fatty... it's so sad !)

He had an important rule in the Lord of The Rings Books (The Fellowship of the Ring ): 

".. After hearing that Frodo was pursued by the Black Riders, Fatty was given the option to flee with the others into the Old Forrest, which however didn't seem more inviting to him (although Merry tried to persuade him that the Riders were far more terrifying than the stories about the Old Forest). Fredegar therefore opted to remain behind as a decoy for the Nazgûl and as a messenger for Gandalf in case he showed up...<sup>"
(Tolkien Gateway)

.... And also at the end of The Return of the King in the penultimate chapter... but I can't tell you what happened ...</sup> 

^{Some more figures are coming !}

Going to a picnic with Hobbits ... an unexpected party ! (Mithril)

I think that the title is enough... 

no more words, let the pictures speaking ... 

all the figures are MITHRIL 32mm except the Pony (Grenadier ?)
from left to right : 
Nob (from LR31) - Pony (Bill ) - Sam ( LR23) - Merry (LR24) - Frodo (LR23) - Pippin (LR24)

HOBBITS FIGHTERS #6 FINAL ?

Hi !
the last Hobbits fighters conversions are finished ...
For the moment, I don't know if I will do other ones: I've no ideas !
I've now a good Hobbit army with the "old" ones I've painted some years ago..

I've also painted other Hobbits but I will show them in a next post.
My whole collection of Mithril Hobbits count over 60 figures and 3 ponies.

I'm now finishing another project in 1/72 scale but I need some time to see the end of this one.
Possibly, I will paint other Mithril figures because it's difficult for me to work on an unique project.


Let's go for some pictures !

 THE "PURPLE GUARD" (COMPLETE) :

 

ARCHERS :  

The whole army : 

 

Hobbits (Mithril) : preview of the last conversion .

Mithril again .. Hobbit always !
I'm quite satisfied with this difficult conversion...
Have I said that I've no more ideas ? ... er.... maybe it's the last one.... wait and see...

But I've a handful of Hobbits which are almost finished... Stay uned
And of course : 

Take care of you, of your family and of everybody !

Stay at home and paint or anything else. 

 The bird (I suppose it's a falcon .. ) and the arm comes from this set :

Strelets 909-Norman Army Camp  

Hobbits Fighters #4 W.I.P.

I think that I've done the last conversions for the moment.
I would like to do some more but I've no new idea !
And, of course, I must paint them before doing something new.

Some years ago, I wanted to paint all the Mithril's Hobbits I had.
Maybe I will try to do that now ?
Not impossible, and a great challenge.

Of course, do like me :

Stay at home and be careful with you, your family and your friends. 

So I've those 3 little fellows to paint now ... 

 

Hobbit Fighters #3 Bowman I

a new conversion for a new Hobbit Fighter !
I'm not accustomed to do conversions but I can say that it's a bloody work !
Cutting all those bods for having small parts of them is quite cruel  ...
Anyway ... I've done and it's too late to go back ...

Let's talk Pictures :

"AVANT = BEFORE & APRES= AFTER" !!!!

After priming the bowman (or Bowhalfling ? ) it's a little bit "rustic", isn't it ? 

.... another Hobbit Bowman is on the table ... stay tuned ...

Hobbits Fighters #2

Hi !
I continue my quest for Hobbit Fighters ... small conversions on those ones.
I didn't start the creation of an unit of Bow-halfmen but it's in the pipeline.
I've tried to bought some others figures on ebay but it's difficult for some sellers to send them. 
Well ... I will be waiting for better times.
And don't forget to take care of you and your family.

I add those Hobbits fighters ( Mithril M61),
on the left, mine who have been painted some years ago (no conversions )
on the right, the same with conversions generously offered by a Member of a forum dedicated to Mithril figures.
I'm impressed with the work he have done !
I like the hats with feathers on them and I'm searching for a way to add some on the next Fighters. ( maybe the Bowmen unit ?)  

That's all folks ...

Hobbits Hobbits Hobbits .... who wants to fight ??

After the creation of the first unit of Hobbits Fighters 
it seems that the fame of those little fellows has  reached some other Hobbits in the Shire.
Another unit has been created !

They don't have their colours yet but 

here's a preview of the new "Purple Guards"  

Minor conversions of  Mithril  M287 : Sam & Frodo  
and Mithril MB396 : Shelob's Lair (Frodo and Sam only) . 

My big challenge is to create some Hobbits Bowmen ...
