the base while superbly done is the one thing that seems to be working well with this mini. the blending on the clothes of the wringwraith do not have enough of a difference between color gradations. its like i feel as if you have taken it half way, but if you spend another 2 or 3 hours it could be incredibly improved.

i hope this helps. rock on

nice use of differing shades of same colour to show off the layers of cloth and face very smooth overall very nice.

two things

the crown could do with some weathering or damage to tie it to the tattered look of the robes.

the tree being in the same pose as the arms and being a darker more solid colour seems to draw my focus beyond the model.

hope that helps.

i should be working Games day so might see you there and there is possibility that i am popping up on thursday

oh yeah look in wip and give me some advice

Don\'t give the model too much contrast IMO, Ringwraiths are supposed to look like that. They are not fully\"real\" anymore, after all! But a little more contrast would probably help your score.

Nice base for sure! Extremely realistic looking!

thanks guys :)
i\'ll bear everything in mind for the next mini.

@james, i glue the rocks and do anygreen stuff work first, then the flock is glued down.
next is to paint it, drybrushing, washes etc to get the desired tones etc.
then the wild grass is glued in place with static grass around it to get a more natural clump of grass.
when the glue is dried i use tweezers to get rid of any strands of grass i\'m not happy with and to give it a more wild look (nature isn\'t symetrical and neat)
then i use some green and brown washes on the grass to tone it down and get rid of the plastic look.
then finish the grass and rocks with a drybrush of khaki.
then the undergrowth gets glued in place (various dried natural plants and cooking herbs)
finaly i use weathering pigments to enhance the effect and make things look more natural.

do some weeding for your mum mate, you will get half your basing supplies for free then (roots etc from weeds and dead plants)

i\'ll yake something down to gd so you can have a close look mate and ill then talk you through it in more depth. :)

It\'s really nice, I agree that you\'d loose the wrath feel if you put in more contrast, it\'d start to look too solid. The base is fantastic, but as the figure is quite bland, I\'d loose the tree altogether so that the figure remains the only source of attention.

having lubricated the little grey cells (mm beer :drunk:) i now remember in the film all the scenery around the twilight wraiths was ghostly like them, the only bits being \"solid\" where around frodo who appeared normal.

Maybe a possible diorama/ dual for you.

The base is awesome love it. The mini is well done but I think a more sombre base would have suited it. Still a very nice mini. Did the vote thing.
