Experimental Troll 4

It's that troll again (as the Tommy Handley Show was originally to be called)

Now he's equipped with the shield that went missing.

I have a little more work to do on him as I've found some spare enemy heads to add to those on his belt.

Meanwhile, the Hobbit Trolls are in the pink or in the 'Cadian Fleshtone' to give it its proper name.

Three thin layers as suggested in a tutorial that I'm using.

I was very tempted to use only two thin coats as I liked the resulting blotchy skin look with some of the muted red showing through.

However, all or nothing.

Delays are still caused by the work on the allotment taking precedence.

Gaffer Gamgee would be proud of me.

Well, got there, at last.

Delays caused by various bits going missing (even now he's hoping for a shield for that upraised arm.



Continually putting stuff away and fetching it out again doesn't help.

I'm not happy with him, especially the base.

However, he started out as experimental and I'm satisfied that he's unlike any of my other trolls.

Experimental Troll 3 (armourless)

Would you believe it! Once the house was cleared of surplus teens and squabblers, I get out ole troll, only to find that the helm, shield and breastplate have evaporated! He really is proving difficult.
