A two tone troll.
The areas not sprayed are to make sure of good adhesion when his armour goes on.
There are areas underneath arms and chin where spray has missed but I'll simply paint on some darker blue for an undercoat here.
I plan to do some experimental dry-brushing over this undercoat but we'll see what comes of that.
The helm he's wearing will be added to using the helm from another troll over the top of his which has been given a jagged top.
It's at his feet on the left.
Another change is to make him a little more upright by standing on a slope and this also increases his height.
We'll just have to see what drybrushing can do with that.
On the box they seem to have almost European coloured skin.
Yes, both arm and leg turned up.

Turned-up legs are no longer fashionable. Turned-up arms never have been. Your main troll is coming along famously. The feeling of bulk and power is nicely conveyed. The mentally challenged 'Hobbit' trolls have the air of cockney dustbin men on a camping holiday. Which is EXACTLY how I remember them from the book. They appear to have caught the sun, in which case they should already have turned to stone. Perhaps a slightly sandier colour would be better ? Like an old Cotswold stone wall ?
Remember, trolls aren't sentimental by nature, more sedimental. JC
