Old LOTR Legolas figure
How not to paint :) I recently got back into miniature panting and whilst searching through my big box o' figures found this. I've just signed up here so I thought I'd give you all a good laugh. This is the mounted Legolas figure from the old Lord of the Rings range, I must have painted it 13 or 14 years ago initially with poster paints and later with GW paints and possibly even some inks, in the process utterly obliterating any detail the figure ever had. Look at it, go on I dare you, marvel at the subtle highlighting on the nose and cheekbone, be astounded that the figure has no mouth, reel in astionshment at the gentle blacklining and delicate pattern on the bridle. The base isn't even a 25x50 horse base, it's two 25mm bases, you can see the milliput holding them togehter. Why doesn't the voting system allow negative numbers? Cheers - Rab
