Riders of Rohan

  These Riders were also enjoyable to paint though I was not very confident painting the horses.

These were all from Ebay and there is one more due to join the troop but the horse is lame.

I'll need to support the weak ankle with some wire.

It would be a shame to put it out to graze as it has a fine shiny black coat.

I tried for the look of the wide river bed near Edoras and for the grasses there but it's not quite worked.

The colour here and in the Ent pictures are, unfortunately, not true.

However, focus has improved and we've a bit more depth of field.

The rider far left in the first pics is missing his spear.

I'm on the lookout for some wire of the right type for a penant for him.

You might also notice that one of the archers has a bow borrowed from his good friend, Legolas. Actually he's borrowed the whole arm!
