I painted all the gemstones and then put a layer of gloss varnish over the gems, the green sword and the green armour plates to give more of a marbled look #hobbystreak day 331

"Now Sauron's lust and pride increased, and he determined to make himself master of all things in Middle Earth, and to destroy the Elves, and compass if he might, the downfall of Númenor. He brooked no freedom nor any rivalry, and named himself the Lord of the Earth"

A view of Sauron from the front, he has burnished dark silver armour with a black cloak.

His armour is covered with evil designs and points, and is topped with a crown with three tall pointed arms.

He bears a terrible mace in his hand, and is raising it to strike.

He stands tall, twice the height of a man.

My dad put my mum's glasses on the dog

Poor Bramble the Welsh and Norfolk terrier cross - looking very fluffy atm - in my mum's round-rimmed tortoiseshell glasses in a look my dad described as "professorial"

I finished the metallics on the wings (mostly the backpack). Very fatigued of this project but I can see the finish line #hobbystreak day 329

So happy today for a true real one @zroche.bsky.social who's hard work continues to pay off in his career and still has an honestly baffling hobby streak going while he's at it.

Not feeling the best today but we have to get on with it. Relayered all the metallics and I think the difference is pretty dramatic, you can see the comparison in the nested post #hobbystreak day 327

Took the terrifying step of attaching the upper and lower body and worked a lot on the tabard. Pink is a bloody hard colour #hobbystreak day 325

Great work, but funny you should say that I actually quite like painting LOTR models because the scale is a little smaller and the sculpts are similar so I find myself getting into a nice flow

48 Soldiers of Gondor done. Haven’t enjoyed doing this batch very much. Plastics aren’t my first choice, and these are quite elderly. The relief on the shields badly exposes my lack of talent. But! They are done and it breaks the back of my LotR Midgard project. 363 figures painted for the year.
