The paint work is truly superb. What are your techniques?

Fantastic work !!! So realistic !!!

Hear, hear. Eerily so. Dangerously so! Can you imagine opening up a drawer in your kitchen and having that stare up at you? Potentially lethal, that!

Thank all of you guys for all your kind words! I really appreciate it more than you know!

I've got all sorts of hair samples laying around, so that is the next step for me. I don't want to settle on lack-luster hair after all this time in old Gandalf! I think I've decided on some NFT blends, but I still have a couple of more tests to do. I'll definitely keep you all posted! Thanks again!!!

Thanks again guys! I have a brand new hackle coming Fed Ex 2nd day, so that means as soon as monday I could begin blending hair. I also have a couple more samples coming, so I might change plans once I see those. I'll keep you all posted!

Well friends, I have put the final touches on old Ian McKellen this weekend and had it photographed last night. The base itself lights up with glowing Tengwar script stating, "One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them."

It is my intention to convert this one to a full-standing version once the robes come in from a friend of mine.

I hope you enjoy! If you have any questions or are interested in a particular commission, please don't hesitate to PM me!
