Waiting on BBTS. Love to see more pictures. Someone here has the ACI version coming as well so it will be really interesting to see the two side by side.
If you're going to make ths look like a true Nazgul, you don't see much armor other than feet and hands, and most of the fabric is just wet and hanging looking, so really either can look correct -- just depends on how much you want to spend.
I need to save money for the Mouth of Sauron who will also likely be on his steed.
Exactly, the only pose for showing his armor should be riding the steed, otherwise, the robes should cover everything. And thats what I tried to do. Theres no need to "spend". Its definetely an easy fix. I get it that the company has to show the armor, but on a shelf, I don't see why it should be showing that much...
By the way, I recommend removing the elbow guards. I removed mine. Its the same arm protection as the Witch King, but this time, inside the robes, the elbow guard makes him look awkward.
(and yes, most days my hands are stained with ink or paint)
