WIP - The Gates of Moria

Hello,

So I\'m working on this project founded in a great passion of mine, one of my favourite paintings by Alan Lee (as seen below). The scene enbodies everything I love about Lord of the rings; The mysterious environoment, the feeling of adventure, the fellowship creeping through dark landscapes towards hidden danger. I have so far done the basic painting, the next step is to add leaves twigs etc. to make the environment more real, it\'s a bit sterile at the moment.

The finished piece will have the entire fellowship outside the gates in as similar poses to the painting as I can convert them.

I once did a similar piece with just Gandalf outside the gates, but much smaller and what will be insignificant compared to this one, I hope :)

It\'s all scratch built, the water is envirotex lite, the trees are sculpted from green stuff and twigs.

Anyway, I will try too keep updating with fellowship conversions and progress pictures!

Prehaps you could blend the colours of the shore in with the wall, like in the art work? Prehaps have the minis casting shadows?
