Time to paint Thorin Oakenshield. It was quite nice to start painting someone whose main colour wasn't grey! As ever it was just a case of building him up, colour by colour, layer by later...
The boots were quite fiddly, but other than that his clothing was fairly straight forward to paint.
His hair though, was much trickier than Gandalf's, I think it looks OK, though I feel perhaps I could have done better here. His oaken branch shield was also quite tricky to paint, but this was my fault - there were 2 options for his arms when assembling him - and it was the other option (with no shield) that was in the instructions for how to paint, so I had to improvise a bit here!
So with the exception of the base, here he is all done!
