Gimli on Horseback conversion

The mini looks even better in person! Gimli is already on the priming table and shortly thereafter will be spending some quality time with my at my painting table. I will send you pics when he is complete.

Cool! Yeah, I hate photographing GS... it always looks all weird-- I still need to get better at that.
Definitely looking forward to seeing him painted.

Re: Gimli on Horseback conversion
As promised, the Mounted Gimli is fully painted. I apologize for the quality of my camera pics, the models look much better in person.

Re: Gimli on Horseback conversion
Looking great! The horse is really nicely blended, and I think he fits in with the unit nicely.
Mind if I use your finished images on my blog?

Re: Gimli on Horseback conversion
By all means, feel free. I just wish I had a better camera and photo-taking setup. Careful though, you may become a victim of your own success. You know nobody currently makes a mounted Gimli that I know of, lol!

Re: Gimli on Horseback conversion
Thanks, re: pics!
re: mounted gimli, hehe, pretty sure I couldn't cast those commercially without getting angry glares from multiple laywer teams, what with multiple companies being involved in LotR and wanting their share of fantasy-based profits
