Great work, I like the scenery very much (and the real sky).

Excellent all round Milo and I especially like the way Goldberry is paddling in the water – a very good use of the design of this figure.

If I could make one small suggestion (a tip I picked up long ago) and that is to try and clump things like flowers, small rocks etc. in groups of 3, 5, 7 …… an odd number seems to work better than an even number as it takes away the symetry.

Thanks once again for sharing this.

these are GREAT pics and deserve sections in the gallery but please if you want to have them put in the gallery send them to my email … it is far easier for me with the small amount of time I have

I am more than very busy, I will check what I can provide next week Master Gildor.

David, I might add some flowers to change sprays to odd ones. Thanks for the advice.

I started the eagle diorama this week-end with my kids (4 & 8 years old)!

We built a huge Carrock (35cm high) using plaster, and Pyrénées rocks on saturday.
As it was too difficult to sculpt for them, stairs were changed to a way up path.
We started the painting yesterday. Kids just loved being part of this project. :lol::lol::lol:

Tonight, we’ll add a final paint brush touch, Then some soil, grass, plants, and a little Beorn’s cave.

Then eagles, dwarves, hobbit, Gandalf choice, assembling and painting.
Then Anduin River and several trees.
Then pictures ! :cool::cool:
Hopefully done by upcoming month. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Of course, no eagle carying on its back being available (except [mith]M140[/mith]…), I will use them while landing.
I like Ted Nasmith’s illustration:

Seeing that picture of the eagles and the way the passengers are laying on their backs, brought to mind the pose of Bilbo barrelrider. That Bilbo might fit ton the back of an eagle.

That is true. I thought of it also.
But the thing is there is [mith]M140[/mith] with an eagle and Bilbo in funny position. I managed to find one so M140 will carry the hobbit.

Just a brief status of eagles diorama:
Title: “Carrock” Any other suggestion is welcomed.
Diorama:
Carrock is done. Beorn’s cave will be added soon.
Several Trees need a bigger trunk.
The Anduin River base is drying in my garage. Then, natural material will bring it to life.

Miniatures:
Landing zone on Carrock is too small for 14 eagles, 13 dwarves, a hobbit and Gandalf.
I decided to use only 10 eagles including the ones with gandalf and Bilbo.

Here is my painting list:
1 [mith]M140[/mith]: painting started.
2 [mith]M301[/mith]: order is sent to Macroom, waiting for the postman
2 [mith]M302[/mith]: 2 painting almost finished.
2 [mith]M303[/mith]: I will replace orcs by 2 dwarves. 1 eagle painting is started.
2 [mith]M304[/mith]: 2 painting almost finished.
1 [mith]MS553[/mith]: order is sent to Macroom, waiting for the postman

I am trying to select 8 travelling dwarves which would be nearby landed eagles or in eagles claws.
[mith]M111[/mith], [mith]M127[/mith], [mith]M155[/mith], [mith]M160[/mith], [mith]M163[/mith], [mith]M229[/mith], [mith]M306[/mith]
No dwarf is painted yet.

If any off you know a better dwarf candidate, let me know.

Beorn’s cave is drying. 2 small stairs were added
I like it very much now.

The Anduin River :
Still drying…😡 Don’t know what do do…

Trees are waiting for a ground base.

Miniatures:

1 [mith]M140[/mith]: eagle is painted, Dwarf & hobbit will be done tonight.
1 [mith]M111[/mith]: not started
1 [mith]M127[/mith]: not started
1 [mith]M160[/mith]: not started

2 [mith]M302[/mith]: both painted, assembled on Carrock
2 [mith]M303[/mith]: both painted, assembled on Carrock
2 [mith]M304[/mith]: both painted, assembled on Carrock

1 [mith]MS538[/mith]: waiting for the postman but no postman during french strikes…In case, I keep a spare [mith]M155[/mith].

I wish to try the use of transparent flying bases (from GWP… ) for [mith]M140[/mith], [mith]M302[/mith] & [mith]M303[/mith].
As soon as I am happy with these 5 flying eagles, I will start to take some picture individually.
More news and maybe 1 or 2 pictures tomorrow.

Master Milo, I can support you very much with this very ambitious project!
I am curious about the way you will realize this scene . . .

There is also the possibility to show some pics from your workbench . . .

Well, as far as I am concerned: I do!
And I am curious about further steps . . .

PS: I think it is a bit difficult to make the base transparent . . . I will think about possibilities . . .

I received G…SW……P transparent bases which are just what I needed (4 different lenghts available).
I will never make any advert for them so no link (even if it is the first time I found a diorama solution with this company…)
No pictures yet as eagles are still missing their dwarves.

Well,
As several requested to see my workbench, I have to say there is none. I paint in the kitchen, in my living room, in the garage or on the terrasse table.

I took several pictures on what is going on near Toulouse.
