Statue Legolas Maquette

[Valarauko]

#300/350 arrived yesterday in perfect condition. He's sitting next to Strider and I have the United Cutlery 'Strider Ranger Sword' and 'Fighting Knives Of Legolas' mounted on the wall behind them. If my camera behaves, I'll post a pic.

Note: This is the highest # I've ever gotten.

Thanks Mamba for the pics.

Post some pics Valarauko.

I did a quick paint job on the peacock. The only brush I had in the house that is small enough is a liquid eyeliner brush. Old chunky gold paint. I need to buy some new paint.

 

[The Josh]

That looks great.

 

[Fremen]

Thanks Josh. It looks okay. I went out of the lines in some places. Was bound to happen but from the view point of seeing it with your eyes, it's good enough.

I just have to add a couple of blue splotches or something for the peacock feathers and I'm done.

 

[The Josh]

Thats better than I could ever do so it looks great to me.

 

[Fremen]

Ugh, not so sure about that. From the evil cameras point of view.

 

[The Josh]

Nah thats fantastic.

 

[Custo]

Great paint job! I love the new look.

here's some pics. i also painted the back of the quiver but it doesn't show up too well in my pic. don't know why they didn't paint the quiver pattern but they painted the silver lines in the boots which must have been 10 times harder to do. oh well.

 

[Fremen]

Fantastic pics and great job on the peacock.

Thanks Northern.

I had to work with mine but they did go in. Good luck with it!

 

[Valarauko]

Fremen, was it a particular gold paint you used or just generic gold?

Hopefully, a lot of people getting this will chime in on whether or not theirs is painted. If they're all unpainted, that's one thing but if it's sporadic, we have a problem that SS needs to address.

 

[Fremen]

I used Gold Leaf by Tamiya. It did require a couple of coats. I can't find my Gold made by Golden so I ended up using this.

 

[The Josh]

Nice shots and job Craw.

Still haven't heard back about my request for a replacement. Hope there won't be a problem!

 

[The Josh]

I doubt there will be but I'd go ahead and call on Monday Tom.

 

[tomandshell]

Yeah, I hate to bug them, but it doesn't usually take more than two days or so to hear back.
