On my hobby blog on The 9th Age community site I talk about one of my latest projects involving using Citadel Contrasts, in this case it was two different interpretations of Tolkien's Bilbo Baggins. This was another example of the potential of the Contrasts range and how they can be used to excellent effect if you take the time to become familiar with the range and practice with them. Link: link

Very nicely done, but I don't think I'm prepared to take so much time over working out how to use contrast paints – I'll just stick with my usual acrylics. An old dog and all that  |

Really like those. The shorter of the two sires evokes the Rankin & Bass artwork. You did a great job. |

Beautiful brushwork. They look amazing. |

@Huscarle: Nothing to learn. Just use over white primer – they are acrylics and clean up with water. Basically they are thick washes. |

Very nice brush work.  |

That's just what I thought Paul, just like the Rankin & Bass version. |

Great work.
Who makes the figures ?

@chuck05, The taller hobbit is an old, old pewter cast from the 1978 Middle Earth series. I'm not who the original manufacturer is. I do remember that it wasn't a mini. company but one of the pewter producers. In the 70s they also did pewter figure series for Disney, the Smurfs, etc. The shorter Rankin & Bass Bilbo is a 3D print file I had a guy on Etsy print a copy of for me. I bought the STL file and sent it to him. Here's the site I got the STL file from: link |

I love the R&B figure, but $23.40 USD for a single figure is way outside my budget. I don't think I need ten Bilbos to make it pay off. Although a Bilbo army might be interesting. ;-) |
