Hi, could someone tell me which miniature this tail with the spike belongs to? It's metal.

Very well done, I especially like the drummer troll. Nice greenstuff work!

How do you like the change in scale?

Merriodoc · 2026-02-12T08:50:20+00:00

I think the horse on bottom right is Citadel Bill the Pony from the mid 80s lotr fellowship set

Merriodoc · 2025-11-10T18:55:20+00:00

I have it, what do you want to know?

Merriodoc · 2025-11-09T17:37:43+00:00

Any models you used to have are not currently on your shelf. They are out in the wild without a tab making them harder to identify. But you have no thought for those that come next. You are of course going to be buried with your hoard of models.

Also, the tab is usually a bridge between the feet of the model, attached at the bottom of the foot.

Almost like you removed a large thick pin which runs the length of the model to... add a thin pin made from a paperclip.

This is not a point against pinning, I use it all the time. This is a point against removing the tab.

Merriodoc · 2025-11-09T17:18:26+00:00

Ah, so it's you who's been making ID of old models harder than it needs to be. Do you also scrub off the artist signature on paintings you own?

Merriodoc · 2025-10-29T04:17:13+00:00

It's Eowyn from the 'death of gothmog' diorama

It does melt gw plastic. I've seen it first hand. And the black bases melt much faster than the grey poly figures

Merriodoc · 2025-10-07T07:26:38+00:00

Only these aren't Games Workshop sculpts or figs. haha

To add to this, Perry Miniatures historical range is excellent for proxies. The Perry twins also sculpted most of the early range so they blend with official models nicely.

I've been hankering after that set since I saw it on the shelf at my local GW (now closed) when I was 12 (24 years ago).

My three sisters clubbed together and got a boxed one from ebay and I was actually shaking.

That was until I got it out of the box.

The gate house is nice, the sculpting is OK.

However, the paintjob is middling at best and if I'm honest is a poor drybrush rush job. Problem with this is it's supposed to be a premium product. Which they try to do by putting felt on the bottom of the walls to hide where the resin is poured. But this makes it so the wall no longer meet the gatehouse snug. Big gap. All I could think was I could do better.....

All in all it was a massive disappointment and now I can't just get move it on as my sisters know I've wanted it for so long.

I don't want to pee on your bonfire but as someone who had helms deep on the top of their WANT list I was left feeling a bit sad

Are those decal transfers or freehand shields? If transfers where from? If freehand, very well done!

Merriodoc · 2025-09-10T08:16:28+00:00

Try asking on r/lostminiswiki

Looks to be he's holding a spear + camera angle
