Premium Format Sauron Premium Format

Having both, I prefer the rider. Don't like the paint on sauron at all.

What about the paint? The glow or the quality?

I received my Sauron Premium Format Figure today, i'm pretty happy! He looks awesome, it's a perfect conclusion of my quest of the Premium Format in the middle earth.

Here my pictures :


























































Thank you!

Properly displayed with that low level lighting like the JV painting. That is the way it was meant to be. That is how to correctly display this piece with the SS paint job. Good job in showing us Masterside what this piece could really look like if displayed properly. That light set up is perfect. Grats

Great pictures! As I've said before the factory paint on Sauron works just fine in a naturally lit display.

*When I say naturally lit display I mean how the room shows off how the armor color works just fine. Obviously the lights on the display add to the lava effect but overall it shows that the paint job in a naturally lit room works just fine. You don't need a super dark room to make the factory paint work. I hope this clears up what I meant since it seems to not have been clear to some people.

Fantastic pics. Really captured how awesome this looks right out of the box. I agree with adolfo, this isn't meant to have a big light source blasting it, and that seems to be when people knock the paint job.

In your dreams if you think that is a natural display with yellow lights showing from the base front. Don't pretend

100% agree. Been saying that from day one. Masterside has shown the absolute best and correct way to display this piece with the out of the box paint job

I didn't say it was. I said the room was naturally lit. Obviously it's got lights coming up from the bottom to aide the orange glow.

Sheesh I remember back in my day mods were respected a bit more!

Well that settles it. I'm getting some lighting for my own Sauron!

 

[NAZGUL-KING]

Great pics Masterside!

I've still got two more months until my Sauron gets here. Azog's arrival in the next couple weeks will definitely help pass the time.

The pictures looked fantastic Masterside! You have captured just the right lighting for this piece. This will give me ideas on how I will setup mine. Thanks for sharing.

 

[masterside]

Thank you all for your comments! Especially for travis

I love this piece, and don't hesitate to buy this PF it's a nice representation of the Dark Lord Sauron and with the good leds (ikea dioder hot brightness) you'll enjoy more the paint job no doubt!

Gotmy replacement scepter and since it came through the lcs I bought from, I don't think I have to dispose of the broken one. Just one of the tips to the mace had broken off. I'm think of doing something to it to make it a battle damaged scepter, but I'm not much of a modder. I would love to have some elf brains on it and just jack it up a bit. Could be cool, take some chips out of it. Would be cool to wedge something that looked like shards of elf helm into it.

I'm happy to pay someone a reasonable price to give it a go if anyone wants to.

 

[Deedzy]

great pics masterside, are those the ikea lack side tables you're using to display them?

 

[Python]

That is quite a display Masterside, congratulations. Sauron looks great!

Sauron wields a mace.

Sauron wields a mace.

Mace/scepter. It's a thing you can hit people with.

Mace/scepter. It's a thing you can hit people with.

True you can hit with either, but a scepter is not made to be a weapon, more of a show piece.
