Hey, in the midst of the confusion over Thai economics, I got some pictures! I will comment on all of them.
The base. I have stained the grass. It looks ok in some places, but in other parts its all matted. I also trimmed the tall grass as I realized it was taller than the Ringwraith himself.
An example of mattyness in the grass.
I've bent the branches around a bit so that they no longer look like horns.
Done? I added a blueish wash to the sword. Should I seal this guy?
The back. Definitely the better side in my opinion. Im realizing I didnt do such a good job prepping the front as the back.
And the true color. My lighting just isnt that good.
What do you think? Am I done?

A friend of mine suggested I try to get the blends on the top of the back better. What do you think?

WELL HEY! Schools out! I can paint again! Quick question; in terms of golden demon, is the base that this guy is on acceptable? Or is it too big to work with the rules?
Pics of new stuff coming soon i think.

That base is good for a GD.

Ok great. I was thinking it could be too big. I'd still like a second opinion though, anyone?
I'm currently working on a wood elf spell singer. I want it to be winter themed so I'm attempting to cast a glacier out of clear resin for her to stand on. In terms of colors, I'm thinking I might paint it similar to the ring wraith but with blue as a more dominant color.

Here is the mold I made for a glacier:
View attachment 2840
As you can see by the fact that theres water in it, its totally sealed. If I were to lubricate it somehow, could I pour clear resin in and be able to pull out the hardened resin without it sticking? or would the lubricant mix with the resin and just cause a mess.

Yeah thats obviously not the base it came with. to quote Games Workshop
So my thought is that the base might be too big.
They also say models that aren't able to be removed from scenic bases will be disqualified. So I guess the real question is, Is it a scenic base or an appropriatley sized gaming base?
wow lots of font size changes here.
"When describing what bases you may use we have used the term,
“appropriately-sized gaming base” in some instances. The intention
here is to allow a little flexibility whilst keeping to the spirit of the
competition. So, if you want to mount your Terminator on a 40mm
square base for aesthetic purposes, you can still enter it in the
Warhammer 40,000 single model category. The same applies for
Warhammer models mounted on round bases. However, please note
the judges reserve the right to move models that are not on
appropriate bases into a category they deem more fitting."“appropriately-sized gaming base” in some instances. The intention

okay im no specialist at gd and their sort of boring rules, but from what i can tell you can more or less build a castle if it stands on a square/round base at the bottom.
just look at entries like this...

I think the size is important still Skel, as is whether it's entered into the LotR Single or the Open category. Of your links, the Rhinox & Tech Priest are on standard base sizes, the Barrow Wight might be, under that undergrowth but doesn't look removable & the Dwarf is too big. Without knowing what categories they were entered into I don't think they provide sufficient clues?
Best I can offer Necroghast is this thread on the PB Forum with lots of hints/tips/answers http://www.platoonbritannica.org.uk/showthread.php?t=852
If you don't get any more feedback I'd suggest posting in a new thread specifically to ask the question as it might receive more eyeballs from people who've entered before themselves.
Cheers, B.

youre probably right B, i was aiming more at base hight/largeness than "gaming base size". my bad.

You know, I think I'll just make it removable just to be safe. Shouldn't be too hard
