The Ruins

Here are some more great shots of the Ruins.  I'll be uploading more little albums like this one soon, hopefully of all my terrain, so that you can see each piece and some details by themselves...

 Above: A ruined column.  this took a little bit to get right!  Below: a great shot of the entire piece.

 The stairs.  I'm still amazed at the detail that spray paint puts for stone.

 A crumbling wall.  Most of this piece was assembled with hot glue, and a little of it with wood glue when I ran out of hot.

 An "inside" wall.

 Some of the outside walls.  I didn't have any flock at that time, so I used saawdust:)

 Another "inside" wall...

 ...and last of all, a fallen brick.

Like I said at the beginning, I hope to upload the rest of my terrain pics and some pics of my army. 

Minis.

My little sister was kind enough to take some photos of my terrain and minis...  

A Dwarf archer.  I find it funny that even though I am not an expert painter by any means and though I didn't paint these Dwarves with much detail, they still came out this good

One of my homemade movement trays...

Another homemade movement tray. 

Yet another homemade movement tray. 

A shielded Dwarf with one handed axe...

Here are some ruins made out of foam...

Frodo in the ruins.  I'm not finished painting him quite yet...

A close up of the stairs.

Gandalf in his wizard tower.  I couldn't get a good shot of the tower in it's entirety because it fell apart.

some trees...

Frodo in his shire hut.

A cool shot of the roof and the hut in the background.

Here is all of my terrain.

Another shot of the shire hut....

Heres a cool pic of the open gate to the shire hut...

...and here it is closed.

A wall of the keep. 

Frodo again in his hut.

Gandalf on the ruins.

This is my mini canyon.

The keep.

Underneath the tower of my keep.

An overhead shot of the canyon with a few dwarves on it.

All of these terrain pieces are made by me out of insulation board (a.k.a. polystyrene or foam).  I spray painted most of them, giving them an awesome stone look.  I'm not a pro, but hopefully they're okay for my age and level.

Stuff...

Well, first of all, I'm a young gamer who has just broken into the world of tabletop gaming, and only now that I've started playing LOTR SBG have I seen how many different wargames there are.  I so far own only two sets of miniatures, GW's Dwarf Warriors and a limited edition "Old Friends Meet Again" pack containing Frodo and Gandalf, but my birthday is very soon... :)  I have no pictures yet but hope to post some soon.

Bart (my uncle) has also just recently discovered the world of miniature wargaming.  He has a great blog and lots of good pics to go along with it.
