Gondor Captain!

Hey^^
Here you are some pics of the minas thirit warrior from LOTR range of Games Workshop.
Sincerely, the quality of the miniature isn't really good. It's badly done... full of holes, fusion lines and missin parts (?????????????).
Buuuut luckily it's in metal... not in failcast :D










It's really difficult for me to paint lotr miniatures! And for you?

I like the way you're painted metallics and the eye's glaze. :D

The overall look is great. For my personal taste the whole thing looks to dirty - I dunno why...I would have painted it cleaner and just add here and there some dirt.

I like the metal and the face, especially the eyes look really life-like, but i do absolutely not like the cloak. Not the execution, it's just the look that does not fit to a Gondor Captain.

PS: I kinda do like painting lotr minis. It' the range that brought me to the hobby. Very little, mostly close to real-life looking figures which take not too long to finish.

He looks more undead than an gondor Captain in my opinion. But what you´ve done with his eyes is awesome.

Here you are some pics of my final work!
These aren't final pics (I'll make them after GD Italy) and please note that there's a shadow on the skirt in one of the pics. It seems a spot, but it's a problem from the light :D You can see in another picture that I'm right ^^


I decide to make him after a long battle! I painted him in a clean version... but I saw that the stamp quality wasn't really good (it was in metal...but it seemed stamp in failcast resin T_T) and it seems "ugly" also after the paintjob. So I decide to make him AFTER the battle!
Hope you like him!
The eyes are bigger than the previous wip pictures. The miniature is really really small, 25 mm, and the eyes I made were smaller than 1 mm... and seems more a spot in the white. So I decide to paint some bigger eyes... and you can see them better, also in real life ( it wasn't possible with the previous eyes, only with magnifying glass)
