Here's Eol - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

sallkid · 06-28-2007, 03:11 PM

I've finished the first build (plastic) version of my Eol the dark elf for the games workshop lotr miniatures range. It's the first time i've really worked with a model of the 20mm scale (i usually build conversions for the sci-fi, or games workshops own fantasy range, both of which are 32mm)

Unfortunately i don't have complete acces to my camera at present, but as soon as i do i'll be uploading photo's here. The model represents Eol girded, wearing his black armour and sword (i took the liberty of adding a crested helm and shield)

The ability to make the model stooped, unfortunately defeated me, although i plan on making an "eol at rest" model where i will attempt to make him stooped once again.

Admittedly this is just a test model, I hope to return to this project at a later date and make it better.

please tell me what you think and feel free to give criticism. This picture is from my deviantart page, unfortunately there's not a lot of LOTR work on there.

sallkid, I'm combining this thread with your previous one, announcing the model you've made, so that it's all together for easier finding. Eol looks good!

He looks cool, sallkid! My Eol would be more handsome as that's the idea that I have of him, but maybe that's just a girl thing?

He's made from one of the GW Elf models isn't he? I think davem did a set of Elrohir and Elladan that had similar looking robes?

yeah, i like the armour on the models though, even if it is lifted direct out of the film.

The new pukel-men models have me feeling a little distraught, the photographs i've seen of them are appalling, and i've already whined in another thread about the vampire

Alright I give up! I went looking for the Pukel men figures but I cannot find them

Any chance of a piccie?
