[Gern]

Balin's coffin.

I copied the text from a picture I found and reduced it to suit.

 

[monica]

do real like Balin's,tome, :D


and the other idea for the breading on the columns,will add some shadow as well,


I must say I do think that you should real get 1 or 2 cave trolls,will just make it look whole,:rolleyes:

 

[Gern]

I've done a little more to the skeletons.

Just a heavy black wash to highlight features.


I also thought I'd add a little more murder and mayhem to my original lot.

I've also made some progress with the frieze

Still a way to go but I'm getting there. Now if only the rest of the family can stop asking me for little favours - like installing a whole new set of patio doors and assembling four lots of flat pack furniture .......

 

[monica]

real liking this one Gern,the boney men look great,


like the 2 who died in combat,


the edging looks good as well,brakes up the wall,and can get some more tone of darker,under it,


real liking this ,keep up the good work, :D

 

[Gern]

I'm calling this one done. Lots of pictures - some a little blurry I'm afraid.

[steve scan]

Dave this is great, hope you have now got it under control now.

 

[Gern]

Steve; It nearly got the better of me but I finally tamed it! It's always a temptation to add just a little bit more to any dio!
