Mordor Orcs #2

on


I warmly welcome!

Post from 2021

I go back to gloomy Mordor today with more orc models that are about 20 years old on their necks ..

        Since their release by GW (on the occasion of Peter Jackson's movie trilogy based on J.R.R. Tolkien's masterpiece), there have been numerous voices about the quality of these plastics.

       That it is ugly, that it is flat, that the details are tragic... and there is a lot of truth in it (if not the whole truth!).

       With today's technique of designing the figurines presented here may be considered a weak joke, however, I wanted to show that even from such monsters, with a little desire, you can create something acceptable.

The previously painted three (two GW and one from Oathmark) are joined by another two Sauron's Minions!
I wrote more about the orcs in the world of Middle-earth HERE.












More to re-painting :)

      Dziękuję.
      O nie! Ja chyba tylko z tych gazetek co ok 20 lat temu wychodziły kupiłem Gobliny z Morii ( ale i chyba równie szybko się ich pozbyłem)

    Pięknie pomalowane nowe orki Michał. Podoba mi się te ziemiste, stonowane malowanie skóry.
