Rangers of Middle Earth

The following are pictures of my newly acquired (since may) rangers of middle earth and other assorted terrain and models...

Above is a picture of a winter ranger that did not turn out so well, but, with the power of Picasa, it turned into something pretty cool!  Below is the same ranger, also a blurry shot, also edited in Picasa.

Spikes which could actually prove dangerous.  They are made out of a block of foam stuck through with real nails.  I don't think I've played a game with this, mostly out of fear someone would put a hand down on it.

Another shot of the same thing

A much, much better shot of a winter ranger.

The ranger on the left here is the color scheme I painted 16 of the rangers like, 4 were painted like the winter ranger on the left.  The remaining four got a black color scheme.

Ranger with bow...

Again...

One of the black schemed Rangers.  I think this was my favorite pose from all the rangers.

Same guy...

An ENT!  I made this guy without a kit or anything!  I took wire and made a structure for him...

...and coated it with epoxy, bondo, and glue...

...then, I made a head out of foam, and a rock in his hand out of foam...

...and he was complete!  Below are a few pics of dice, my sister thought they looked cool.

A winter ranger facing the ent alone!  Or is he alone?

Looks like he has some friends to help him out!

Except for that one...

The Keep

Here are some photos (taken, of course, by my little sister) of the keep.  Below is a little hideout with an arrow slit.

 This is the column that supports the tower.

 A wall...

 The entire Keep.

 Another shot of the supporting column.

 A wall that leads to the door...

Well, that's the keep.  Kudos and thanks to my sister who took all the pics. 

Update

Sorry, haven't been here lately.  This is just an update.... I am going to upload more pics soon, and I hope to make some cool new terrain today! I'll do that soon.

LOTR Shire Hut

Here are some better shots of JUST the Shire Hut (when gaming with an objective of "capture frodo to win" he hides in here pretty much the whole time.

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...

A close up of the ruins

 

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.

Exterior shot of the keep

This is my mini canyon.

The roof of the keep

a dwarf.

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.
