… well….
it’s never easy to post the first work in a new forum….
I don’t want to give 3 pages of comments!I’m not a great “dio-maker” and like a beginner, I focus on the painting of the figures, always trying to improve! :rolleyes:
I show you the first work I’ve done with MITHRIL, and it’s a part of a project including some similar figures in similar poses, for instant GW (Part I) and MITHRIL (Part II).
(there’s a Part III of this little project, but not easy to do …. and secret!)the part I could be seen on my blog: “Give me the Ring, Bilbo!” GW
and I post here some pictures of the Part II, some more to see on my blog : “Give me the One Ring, Bilbo!” MITHRIL
…. after some months, when I see the pictures, I’m thinking: “it’s not gooooood enough!! You forgot too much defaults!!!!”
I hope that you will be indulgent: I’ve seen that Great Masters are haunting the Gallery!:mad:… well….

feel free for comment any post you want, I’ve always a notification in my mail-box!
Good trip!
Thanks Milo!
I will post the few works I make with the MITHRIL figures, not a lot yet, because I’m mainly a 1/72 painter !
Never feel that your work is not good enough Master Sam Wise, as long as you have enjoyed what you have done that is all that matters
.I think we are a friendly bunch on here given to encouragement and constructive criticism, not destructive criticism of the work of others. And anyway, this is a very nice painted scene
I look forward to seeing more.ddaines wrote:Never feel that your work is not good enough Master Sam Wise, as long as you have enjoyed what you have done that is all that matters.

don’t worry! I’m not afraid of critics or something else here! I’ve received a warm welcome and read some posts : it’s enough to me to feel the spirit of of a forum!
Nevertheless, I make sometime some self-criticism : it’s one way to improve or even see the improvement I’ve maid!Ouh, I see many things I like on your blog.
And it’s great pleasure to see Mithril works from FranceMaster thingol is right, remember “The Adventures of Tom Bombadil”:
“Old Tom Bombadil was a merry fellow, bright blue his jacket was and his boots were yellow, green were his girdle and his breeches all of leather, he wore in his tall hat a swan-wing feather . He lived up under Hill, where Withywindle ran from a grassy well down into the dingle.”

I’ve a lot of fun to paint MITHRIL figs!Quote:Master thingol is right, remember “The Adventures of Tom Bombadil”:

I know… it’s a mistake, shame on me!
I’ve read that AFTER that I’ve paint him!
(except the feather: “Jay feather” in the french version !:rolleyes:
And I don’t want to repaint him now: it’s too much work for me (and my free time!)
Maybe another Tom Bombadil, who knows ?… in fact, I don’t remember where I’ve read the information about the feather!
I’ve made another research and:
-a peacock feather in the first version of the poems but Tolkien changed it for a swan one and then tell how he obtain a kingfisher feather to ornament his hat!
I think that I will choose the last one: some blue could be nice.
What do you think about?
Thanks!(it’s horrible actually: not a minute to paint!!!!!
