Next up on the classic re-paints are the weathertop ringwraiths. Don't have a 'before' picture, but they were just drybrushed with some sort of grey. Bought these after work one Saturday in 2001. Trying for a hint of moonlight here. Finally got myself a designated dayglow lamp*. It's helping a lot with pushing the light and shadows in the right direction. These will be toned down a lot. May enter them into february competition unless I get something else done. C&C welcome, especially on a contrast to the blue for the deep shades.

Nice Gene, i haven't seen a blue cloth before, it works well. I guess you are going to muddy them up a bit?

It's just an undercoat really. I use quite transparent layers, going light to dark with shades - so they should end up dark with just a suggestion of moonlight coming from above.

Thanks, but it's too late. I will have a proper twilight wraith coming up soon though. Just a quick snap here to show where I'm at. Not a great pic but you get the idea.

Skipped all the way to the end for today's repaint - just a sneak peek for now. First done in 2004 - never liked them. Finally went all out with proper OSL. Hoping this counts as 'mordor' for the competition. C&C welcome

Cheers. Might have to take Sam's hair down a notch. Frodo face isn't great but it's a fugly model anyhow.

Those look great. I really can tell they are close to Mt. Doom. The OSL and definitely the tone is working very well.

What an awesome effect you've managed to create with these. You can almost feel the heat of Mount Doom reflecting off them! Very cool idea, pulled off perfectly.

I love seeing unique ideas in this hobby more than I do good paint jobs......but you've mastered both. Awesome stuff.
