By now I’m trying to give one set an “antique finish” … why? … it has to be, as the more I’m succesful with that the more details do reveil itself … it’s different from priming or spraying.

Completely right, Master Theobald. I recieved a couple of miniatures via ebay the last times, they were in antique finish, remarkably.
It is the best you can do- instead painting them, of course.

“Antique finish” yes…. some old figures could have beter look with this efect…. If somebody decide to left figures unpainted this is excellent !

Well, how to start?
Ahem, all this took some time – though the word took is not a name in the sentence.
But in the Ent all’s well that ents well, so to say.
Let me try, please.

Bilbo Baggins is a quite normal hobbit – genial, chubby and a bit lazy. He loves good food, wine and his tobacco pipe. One day, however, his quiet life comes to an abrupt end, when Gandalf, the wizard and a group of dwarves ask for his companionship in an adventurous and dangerous undertaking.

Ah, that’s good, isn’t it?

Yes, fellows, it was a long way to go until I have it here as I thought of it. Every single step I had to take was worth it, I think. Not forgetting about the steps others had to do.
I just hope you can enjoy this, too.
Huuoommmrhuoommm … hom !

The scale in that colour shot was interesting.

Took me a while to work out what I was looking at (that’s an awful big Sindarin Mage!).

Lovely, lovely work, though.

Dear Master Theobald,
I am very happy to see, that your edition has reached you.
The pics of the antique-finish show lots of fine details.
A fantastic thing, this UP!

Well, I think a hard job it is to assemble the vignette … a harder job is to paint it … but the hardest job was made by Chris Tubb

Alas … this morning I went down to my cellar … a parcel there was … I nearly forgot about it, as I unfortunately had to be busy with other things. Nevertheless I started unpacking again just trying to keep my promises. So just take these pics as a joke (25kg joke by the way).

See, your Ent is busy … though he cannot haste everything.
I provide the pics, because sometime ago some gents around here did not mind to comment on my workplace. These pics were taken downstairs in the cellar, where I do have two more workbenches which keep me busy …
This is just for fun and also to document the reception of some vignettes.

Are these packaging empty or full ? Very impressive

Well, Milo, all those boxes still are filled with the UP.
Some weeks ago it took me a while to carry that parcel down to my cellar. But there it still was today. See, I just wanted to provide pics for those gentlemen who liked to comment on my work-places.
So … to be honest … I got three of them workbenches … oh, I found some 60X60 cm table-tops of ‘Moria’ (including the eastern gate).
That’s where you get to when you try to dig too deep … there might be a Balrog …

Yes, Master Theobald, and I noticed these working places very much! I really like those places . . .
Nice pictures, by the way, nice picturs. Imagine, they were filled up with Christmas-figures 1989 . . .
Receiving the packet must have been an extraordinary experience wich won´t happened again in your lifetime, Master Ent . . .

The Ent! A song performed by The Doors, isn´t it . . .
