I agree to Holger, completely. The expactions have been fulfilled, Mr. David Daines. Congratulations ! Especially the Ent is absolutely great. I really like this part. There are also lots of things to be recocnized: bottles, plates, little barrels of…cidre?
Fantastic stuff.
Also the candle ( … seems to me, like a candle in the . . . ). That´s the point why I give up to build the prancing pony: the little goodies.
Where is the source to get them . . . ?
BUT: to be critical, because this forum should not be use as a pool of pink approvals
: as mentioned above. I agree to Holger, completely. The pony should make a more darker effect 
Thank you for the kind comments, and in answer to a couple of them the Pony is darker when the ceiling is on, but unfortunatly I can’t take any photos of it ‘cos I can’t get the camera in close enough
hence the lighter atmosphere where the ceiling has had to be removed.In hindsight I would have made it a bit more cluttered and given Aragorn a more snug corner (I may still do this as what you see is the second Pony (a bit like the old MMP
)The fire, Aragorn’s candle and the ceiling do/did light up to add some atmosphere, but I need to rebuild the outer case for it and check the connections.
Most of the little details like the candle, plates etc. are old Mithril bits with the furnishings by Grendle.
I understand about the painting part and I try to do batches of them because like you I get bored or my neck starts hurting after a few hours of painting!
I have always liked dioramas, but have never had the patience to do them. I have always wanted to make a Chamber of Mazarabel scene and I think that Gavin has done one or is it you that did it. So, maybe someday I will make it!
Shelob’s Lair[imgz url=http://mmp.faerylands.eu/uploads/11_shelob.jpg]http://mmp.faerylands.eu/uploads/thumbs/11_shelob.jpg[/imgz]
This is a small diorama where the grain of wheat bulb can be shown to full effect as the ‘Light of Galadriel’ as Samwise stands against Shelob.
Unfortunately from this angle you can’t see Frodo who is laying down in front of Shelob (how I wish Peter Jackson had used this Shelob design for the film instead of the speedy ‘little’ spider that he did – I wonder what size the Mirkwood spiders will be considering they are much smaller in comparison
), but Gollum can be seen legging it away from the scene.Like Moria real spider web was used and this diffuses the light quite nicely as well as hiding the bulb stuck to Sam’s hand.
Hope you enjoy
