Merry and Pippin

Merry and Pippin pretty much as per the painting guide in number 73 of the DeAgostini series.

The tunic that Merry (or is it Pippin?) is wearing came out more brown than green but I was happy with it.

As I was still having that trouble keeping the paint on metal, I varnished it before the problem could arise.

I can always paint it again, later.

The base that Pippin (or is it Merry?) stands on is supposed to be a wrecked area of Minas Tirith with a few bits of masonry and roofing wood laying about.

(I do actually know that Pippin served as a page to the Steward of Gondor - I chickened out on painting the tree and stars on his tunic -.and that Merry hitched a ride with Eowyn so wears Rohan gear)

Thinks - or was it the other way round?
