Well, you must get a lot of compliments, but this is really, really, special!

It's enough to make me want to try and emulate your style. Black lining, like around the eyes, and all over really, is not something I would think I'd like, or be able to pull off, but it looks fantastic on your minis!

I have decided that this is how I would want my minis to look, if I could pick any style out there. Marvellous stuff, truly!

Thank you people! I like the fixing with the layout the admins did, thanks!

This is a kind of remake of my "Save the fellowship" from TLA, I'm thinking of moving some more of them here, but can't decide which ones! Or, I'll just do new ones (legolas maybe?).

Thanks!

Great article. Do you have step by step pics for the legolas. If you do then please do a guide. That face is fantastic. Keep up the great work and I hope we see many more of your articles here in the future

Great guide with good results.

Hope to see more articles from you in the future Olofer, hopefully with step-by-step pictures as you are actually painting the miniature !

Wow, by the current rating someone just put a 1 on my article (from 9 to 7), it's nice to know that people out there appreciate your work!

I think you did a fantastic job in salvaging that mini from an average paint job. :) Great job on him!!

It is quite possible that someone made a simple mistake and did not understand what they were doing with the 'rating' actions. Unfortunately, we will never know.
It is a nice mini and I am sure other members can appreciate it too, so I wouldn't worry too much about it.

A stunning mini (and article) does deserve better.
I have voted in an attempt to get it back up to what it truely deserves.

That said I have given it a 1.....

1 is the best right :wink:

I somehow managed to miss this article :roll:
So to make up - it's very good, great step-by-step guide and the mini is just wonderful.
If I buy Mines of Moria boxed set I will give it a try while painting the plastic Gimli.
