Just a few more models to paint and then all the numbers 41-50 will be done and ready to ship.Numbers 51-60 can expect an email confirming their orders in a week or so.
On a different note I just bought a copy of "The Tolkien Years - the brothers Hildebrandt". These guys did all the Tolkien calendars in the mid seventies and were my first window into what Middle Earth might look like. (They also painted the original cover for The Sword of Shannara if anyone has an old copy lying around).This book collects all their sketches and paintings together for the first time. It's just lovely and is really a world away from the look of the movies. Apart from the text itself, these calendars and the Ralph Backshi animated movie have probably provided most of the inspiration for this project. These guys loved LOTR and it just shines through in all their work. My heroes!
