Aragorn 54mm Andrea

[tonydawe]

Hi Planeteers

From Middle Earth comes Aragorn son of Arathorn, Chief of the Dunedian of the North.

This is my first attempt at a 54mm Andrea metal figure in Vallejo acrylics.

Read the book over 70 times , seen the extended movires hundreds of times , made the model once . Legolas is next!!

Thanks mate. After 30 years of figure modelling, and having a digital camera for only two days I'm just getting started. I should set up a blog page. Do you how I do it?

Tony,

Looks great! I love everything about it... looks just like him to me, and I know it isn't just the sculpting! Great finish bro!

Thanks James

As you can probably tell I'm a massive fan of the Lord of the Rings (the books and the movies). In fact I started figure modelling and first read LOTR in 1977, which is 30 years ago.
It makes sense to me that my first 54mm metal figure should be of my hero Aragorn. Thanks for your kind words about my painting, but honestly with a figure this well scuplted and so life-like to the character of Aragorn, it's hard to go wrong.
I've started work on the Legolas (Elf Archer) figure by Andrea, which also looks very realistic and hope to start painting him soon. I wish Andrea would complete the series by doing 54mm versions of the other members of the Fellowship.

My Leonides bust arrived in the post today, so I'm torn between getting stuck into him or contining with Legolas. Decisions, decisions....

Thanks to all Planeteers for their support and encouragement.

Hi Tony,

Having the priveldge of seen this figure in the 'flesh' at our club - your photos although good still do not do the figure justice.

As I said to you at the meeting you have achieved the darker and more realsitic colours on this figure really well. You have also managed to chose the colours correctly for the figure and it does not look toy like but like he stepped out of the LOTR movie. Well done on this one mate

Ciao for now
Franco
