Oh….here comes another one — especially for Holger.
I am sure, he is able to put this undercover-message in the right context . . .
Maybe it gives him a litte, well, let me say: motivation . . . .
This Isengart- scene is my current work in progress. I hope you like it too.[imgz url=http://mmp.faerylands.eu/uploads/32_half_orc.jpg]http://mmp.faerylands.eu/uploads/thumbs/32_half_orc.jpg[/imgz]
December 13, 2008 at 11:49 pm #3859motivation . . . .??? Time!!!! Maybee both together and it works.
Very nice painted indeed!
December 14, 2008 at 10:34 am #3861Ho, I am coming a bit late to this exhibition, so I start with praising your Gandalf and the Elves – marvellous! The watercolour background really adds some magic to the scenery.
December 15, 2008 at 6:47 pm #3884Very nice! It’s nice to have company in slowness…and the results are lovely. I like the shield especially.

February 23, 2009 at 8:47 pm #4478Ahh, the second slowest painter ever ( the first one is Wendy ! ) has finished a miniature. This time it tooks two month. This Rohan Archer is a gift to me from Master Erchamion. I am very thankful of that . I hope, Erchamion you like the result. This archer is being meant to find his place in a Rohan-Diorama which I currently work on.

March 22, 2009 at 11:46 am #4638puuhh- a very long journey indeed, this diorama. The first one with conversions, a little bit
I hope you like it and I hope it can show the high quality of miniature sculpting which makes mithril so wonderful . . .[imgz url=http://mmp.faerylands.eu/uploads/32_rohan002.jpg]http://mmp.faerylands.eu/uploads/thumbs/32_rohan002.jpg[/imgz]

March 22, 2009 at 1:17 pm #4642Pure Elven craftsmanship! Fantastic, well executed piece – this is what I meant on my comment re the youtube thread in the Pony (which I answered before seeing this )
I’m getting quite frustrated about not getting any painting done at the moment myself, but that’s life.
Don’t forget to send them into Michael for the Fans Gallery.
March 22, 2009 at 3:57 pm #4643I simply will give up painting any metal pieces … or rather will try to hide mine elsewhere …
respect, rita.deMarch 28, 2009 at 11:33 am #4687I’m really impressed!
This is just a awesome diorama.
I’ll take a bow!March 28, 2009 at 1:02 pm #4689My word, that is amazing!
I love it!
March 28, 2009 at 11:40 pm #4697That is really great talent there! Especially with those fine Rohan miniatures!
Great job! I wish that I could do that.
Are those supposed to be Rohan men or some other group? I ask because of the shield design.
March 28, 2009 at 11:53 pm #4698Hi Jason, no, there are not only Rohan men. There is the watcher on Sarn Ford also. I think he better watches out for orcs in the fields of Rohan.
To explain the shield design is a bit difficult: the two horses are based on a scetch by myself couple of years ago.
To each diorama there belongs a pack of scetches, art-design-drawings, small and large background-covers and compositions plans.
In the early times I found something similar on those “cards” from those card-playing-stuff by chance in a shop around.
A bit disappointing- everything seems to exist already . . .
The ” SUN ” is obviously a design belongs to the film-trilogie. The king´s men of Edoras use it and Theodred belongs to them.
Thank you that you like it, and thanks to all the other fellows.March 29, 2009 at 12:05 am #4699It is like that:

March 29, 2009 at 3:58 am #4700I think this is called German accuracy!
Everything has to be documented perfectly!March 29, 2009 at 10:31 am #4701Oh, ok. I see the shields more clearly and your research makes sense. I should have figured that out on my own. I am a little slow these days with Lord of the Rings history and movies.
May 18, 2009 at 8:45 pm #5254Christoph – your work is truly stunning! 😮 I’m starting to go through the old forums and then I came across this gem!
It’s really clear to me that you’re a true artist, with a grasp of many types of mediums (painting the miniatures (with oil), watercolor, and design). My two favorites were the Rohirrim in the forest and the elves in the forest. I felt like I was truly immersed in the scene.
Your foliage is fantastic! Please tell me what you use for your grass, your trees, and your plants.
Your bases are great! I love how you use the natural wood and have parts of the scene spilling over onto the bases. Very creative visual affect.
Finally, I LOVE your book with the notes and layouts of your dioramas. I would love to read that book.
I feel like my dioramas are SO boring in comparison (like my Gollum/Bilbo diorama)! They just don’t have the character. But I’ll get some good inspiration from your work.
Thanks for sharing.
George
