More Mithrils for the chess set...

[Wendy]

Here a couple more pics of the chess set I've been working on. Sorry, the pics are pretty bad, but I took them on the fly so to speak. With the Nazgul (who is supposed to be Sauron), I was experimenting with reflected light of lava from below on the right side. It's more obvious in real life than in the pic. The troll is, well, a troll. Too bad the shadows and highlights are a bit washed out. Next time I'll try a black background for them.

Cool stuff Wendy! This should be ine great chess set when it's done. I asume the good guys are on the opposite side? Gandalf, hobbits everywhere? Would love to see some shots of the over all set when you're done!

Looking good, Wendy!

Thanks guys.

Yup, it's the good guys of Middle Earth verses the baddies. The sizes of the pieces vary a lot - from mounted soldiers to little tiny hobbits. I'm also working on a conversion that will be Shelob (the spider) who is the Queen of the baddies.

I hope to finish in the next couple weeks and then I'll post some more pics.
