Beast of Gorgoroth completed
So here he is complete with crew and a dab of rust here and there.
The superglue has a tendency to take the paint off if the crew get dislodged, as they did occasionally when trying to persuade them into their allotted space.
I certainly could not have painted them once they were aboard.
Fearsome bunch.
The driver and his kinky prod.
View from a low flying Nazgul.
This shot is just to prove that there was some rust about and to have a close up of the pinned heads.

Some excellent pictures; the gnome in your in your box brownie - filling in for the brownie who was off visiting his mum - must have been flinging paint about like Jackson Pollock with St. Vitus' Dance. I misread that as 'fearsome brunch' for a second............had visions of kamikaze vol-au-vents exploding with wild cries of 'Bunzai'. Wasn't there a 70's Prog Rock band called 'The Kinky Prods' ? Also I seem to recall a Nazgul lord called 'Khamul', I think he moonlighted, advertising fags for some Shire pipeweed brand for a time. I can see why the cousins dropped in on the Great Beast in such numbers. Wanted to see how it was done. John
Oops. We've both made errors here. I meant to thyp 'Fearsome brunch'but misspelled it.
Yours was to imagine a Nazgul named Khamul when everyone knows that a khamul is the preferred mount of T.E. Larence and of Omar Sharif when seen through the wrong end of a telescope.
If there wasn't a group called The Kinky Prods, there should have been.
Yes, I remember now...........'The Kinky Prods' I think they came from Nor'n Aarlun'..............Khamul was a Ringwraith, second-in-command to the Witchking. After the Witchking was slain - ordinary creatures get killed - he became Lord of the Nazgul for a short time. He retired to Mordor to breed Oliphaunts. His stud oliphaunt was called 'Amnesia'...................John
You can buy a specific Khamul model. Nice red inner robes. Seems always to wear a helm unless you are wearing the one ring. Then he's downright ugly and doesn't look at all well. Hi excuse is that he's been dead for a while or as Miracle Max puts it, 'only mostly dead'.
