From TeemuL: Amroth of Lorien [Fantasy] (25 points)

For the Fantasy section at the library I chose the old and faithful J.R.R. Tolkien (you might be familiar with recent film flop "Wild Wandering Adventures of Murin and Drar during the time of Lord of the Rings" from the last Challenge). This is again an old metal Mithril Miniature, M208 to be precise from the year 1991. He is called Amroth of Lorien, a former king of Lothlorien and a victim of tragic love story with elf maiden Nimrodel.


I tried to choose simple but elegant colours, fit for a king and chose dark blue and green. The blue cloak was inspired by the high elf cloaks of the Fellowship of the Ring movie.


I am quite happy with the blue cloak, but there are some fine details on the model, that I just couldn't catch before taking photos, so some of the details are "faint"...


Three different shades of blue on the cloak, looks quite good. :)


I had a plan before the Library theme was released and I was certain, that my plan would not survive. So far I have finished 0 models from the plan and 6 outside the plan...


One 28mm model with 20 points from the Fantasy location should give me 25 points. I'm now ready to move on in the Library and guess what - the next minis aren't part of the plan... :D

I always enjoy seeing your work with these old school LotR minis from Mithril (and they seem to have a figure for every character that Tolkien put pen to paper). I agree, the blue cloak is terrific. Well done! More please. :)

I like that I've messed with your Plan, Teemu. My work here is doing its task. *wipes hands together*

  5. Lovely model! I had several models form theta brand acquired in the 80s that had been painted in several Challenges over the past years. I love their old-school design
