I've painted a few of the nicer figures over the years but haven't got the urge to collect the lot a some are a bit ordinary. And as you note it they missed certain figures (Galadriel being the most obvious)that one would have expected citadel to have done - odd when they did multiple versions of the hobbits, Gandalf and Aragorn.Firthy 74https://www.blogger.com/profile/17104155948966037030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874877056919928739.post-85227834380253568582016-02-13T10:50:48.497-08:002016-02-13T10:50:48.497-08:00I'm glad you liked the Gothmog bit.

They seem like detailed and compact miniatures which find the right balance between realism and that illustration-like quality that I really prize.<br />If anyone else was similarly ignorant about these minis, they can be found here:<br />http://sgmm.3dcartstores.com/SO1-Fantasy-Heroes_p_362.html<br />matthewjksullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08126108200355039621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2874877056919928739.post-16124553379722829282016-02-13T00:29:43.847-08:002016-02-13T00:29:43.847-08:00Thank you for sharing these lovely figures with us...Thank you for sharing these lovely figures with us.

You've got some great figs there with matching paint jobs. The mouth of sauron is amazing, and gothmog is really well done, bot as a concept, as well as brush work. <br /><br />I'm quite impressed with your use of yellows and whites with Saruman. The Elrond sculpt is ummmmm, not my cup of tea. I have to agree with you on the drag queen designation for your Galadriel as well. Looks somewhat like she has some whiskers on her face as well. davebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531919635590898334noreply@blogger.com
