Absolutely great, ddaines. I especially like your idea of that hint of a still-glowing fire among the colours you used for the Balrog. – And of course adding those two Dwarves to have a small diorama. I really like that very much.
Thank you for providing the pics, my Balrog-friend.
Well I wanted to give some scale to the Balrog and as much as I love the original I personally think it is way too big for the 32mm scale figures. Mim and Ibun were the only spare dwarves I had available that looked suitable inasmuch that they didn’t have axes, haversacks, armour sculpted on as there would be no need for this.
I did consider scratch building a sword and whip for the Balrog but I wasn’t sure if he (assuming it is a Him :rolleyes:) would have fled with these items or whether once ‘free’, the orcs may have made these items for him.
Perhaps someone a little less ‘hasty’
might take the time to create a more detailed chamber (hint). Things in hindsight that I would have considered are scattered bones of ‘Nameless things’ that he has feasted on perhaps.I do intend to get another one of these Balrogs as I would like to pair him up with Gandalf on the Bridge of Khazad Dum, the biggest pain will be the separation of the arms from the legs though :o.
