Christoph – brilliant as always! I always look at your dioramas to try to get inspiration. The muted color scheme – great! The watercolour background – great! The banners – great!

I wish I could spend a couple hours watching some of these great painters do their magic – that way I could pick up some helpful hints!

Three cheers!

Thank you very much. This is the last pic of those halforks. A combination of the original Isengart-range and the Lost warband range.
I don´t want to bother you, just to show you the whole idea.

Hmm.. 2 years… not bad at all. I would need at least 20 and that would spoil the whole thing.
The thing I’m thinking of, needs a minimum of 400 minis and I think it would be a nice advertisement for Mithril in a shopfront.
OK, let me think about this matter. I need a bit more time to make a plan, so I know how many I really need/would like.

Master Estel, you idea is not bad at all. I guess we got a lot of good painters here on MMP to support something like this.

mmmmmhhhh, open for everything, Master Caster. In important cases and with an other bottle of that spanish red wine it could run faster, possible . . .

I don´t know what you like best, spanish red wine or the corks of bottles …..:lol:

Ideally, you drink wine (spanish, of course ) and then show us what you paint on their corks ..

As ever I look at your paint ups with admiration Christoph, the subtleness of the painting enhanced with the now expected back-drop just bring these figures to life.

Anyhow, I can have a rest from the big guys that have been taking up too much of my time of late and can get on with some Mithrils at long last.

Thanks once again for sharing.

Puuh, New Year has started already . . .
I took the quiet days between Christmas and New Year´s day for finishing the Stonetrolls. It took further days for photographing.
A hard job in these days . . . the Tree will know . . .
So I hope you will like the “sorrounding” for that famous Dunedain . . .

Wonderful works of art! Mind to explain how you make those awesome trees?

wonderful, simply wonderful … keeps me breathless … thank you, rita.de, for providing the pictures …
once again your way of assembling figures together with natural material and having a fascinating water-colour background … well, from now on I will regard you as a three (not: tree) – dimensionable painter … that’s perfect, Master Rita.de. … so you spent your time well in those quiet days between Christmas and New Year’s Day … thank you again.
As for hard jobs you mentioned … indeed there are some … “The Tree will know” you said, and he knows about that.

Huoommm … Arthadan, as for them trees Master Rita.de is perfect with his arts in water-colour.
Those trees added to the diorama you can find everywhere in your garden (the ones with the lichen you mean?) … I prefer those ‘hibiscus’ to provide me with such pieces … though it takes some time until lichen and spore decide to produce … rhuoommm … not less than about 5 years … anyway … it’s worth it (by now I have a nice collection of lichen and moss)
The easiest way is to take a walk in a forest and find things … that’s all there is about … huoom

Fantastic job as ever and yet again the subtle background painting pulls it all together. Thanks for sharing.

have you thought about sending all these painted images to Michael at the Mithril web site for inclusion in the Fans gallery section (Thingol and others as well) as I’m sure that visitors looking will be amazed at what can be done with MM’s.

Yes, Master Arthadan, Master Theobald is completely right in what he mentioned. The source for those trees is: REAL NATURE.
There is nothing better as real natural material!
I prefer taking a turn in the woods with my wife on sunday afternoons- usually during the cold-times, as today. Puuh, it was cold outside! Time for a hot chocolate . . .
These lichens you will find near creeks and ponds. You don´t have to wait 5 years, they already exist . . . 😆
But believe me, also in this case the Tree is right!
Well, as far as Mr. Daines concernes: I am already there, in the fan painting-section of the homepage of the company we trust in-since 8 years-!
But not under this curious name- unfortunately.
You have to know my real name . . .It´s not that difficult!
Thank you very much, gentlemen, as mentioned: time for the hot chocolate . . .
