The Hobbit Thranduil

Very nice indeed!
The sculting is great, as usual, and the painting is also very, very well done. I love the colour scheme! All in all, he looks really mysterious and murky.

I would personally not put him on a base, but that's because I wouldn't use him like the normal SBG (popping up from the ground), but only in a scenarios where he's in the water.

Hi,

here's my new mini, Thranduil from the brand new Hobbit release!

I really had a lot of fun painting him! Let me know what you think!

Great paint job, and a superb photo! Also really looking forward to your watcher in the water. I really don't care for the official model, and was planning on sculpting an alternative myself.

Wow. This is an amazing paint job, and is much better than the one GW were using.

The scenery too is fantastic.

Great painting and set-up/photography on Thranduil!

That's the sort of image GW should be producing to showcase their miniatures... good thing the One Ring is here to show the world how it's done.

You've made me want to buy that mini.

Looks great, I like how you've composed the photo so you can't see the base. Really makes him stand out!

Fantastic painting as usual Slinger. Look forward to seeing what you can do with the rest of the range.

Great looking job. I love the colour scheme you have used, very realistic.

Splendid job and superbly lit.

Perfect. No other words necessary.

Thranduil is one of the few new releases I like, and you have painted him very well

Nice!

Superb. Makes me all the more mad that mine was slightly defective. Oh well, I'll exchange it tomorrow. Great colour scheme and photograph.

Spot on, wonderful work that actually looks better the the GW paint job (but doesn't he have such a wide sword).

Awesome paint job, hard to believe it's 28mm, and the scenery makes it into a work of art.
What are you using for the bushes and autumn leaves? Any chance you could give us a step by step (with products used) on how you made the scenery?
