The Gondor soldier figure is an odd chracter in the line. He is constructed very bulky. Since my random troopers are from the Faramir armor figure, I turned this figure into a special one. He is the...[See More]

To build up an Gondorian army, I have been harvesting and customizing the Faramir Armor figure by toybiz. I'll have over twenty figures when ready: swordsmen, spearmen and archers. Here is my first...[See More]

The Captain Faramir is the best figure for making Gondorian soldiers. Of course one needs to keep one figure as Faramir himself! I repainted him and gave him a custom made shield. I really like the...[See More]

And here is nr 03 of the pack of three. Total repaint, added cloth on the hips. The sword of from an 8 inch version of Lurtz....[See More]

I have three berserkers and wanted one to be the leader. In a sketch by Alan Lee I saw an Uruk on the ladder with this spiked club. That seemed like a nice alternative weapon to make. It is made of...[See More]

And here is an upgrade of the original figure. It is one of the best Toybiz made, very expressive! I have a small band of three of them. These Uruks are a tad smaller than the troopers. That makes...[See More]

For my Uruk-Hai army, I needed a commander. He is inspired by the brute that stands hooting on the rock, in The Two Towers, attack on Helm's Deep. The Uruks have a discpline and uniformity that...[See More]

Next in line is a custom of the McFarlane medieval Spawn figure, the berserker troll. He is an orcish trooper now. He came with a wolfskin. I didn't like how this took away the sight on the many...[See More]

In Lord of the Rings, Tolkien mentions "all kinds of evil creatures" that are drawn to Sauron. When I encountered this monster from the Spawn series, I wanted to use him as a creature from a remote...[See More]

My very first toybiz figure was this one: Treebeard. I got my hands on him for low price on ebay. A must-have at first sight. BUT he was way to small in comparison with the 6 inch figures... Here...[See More]

I made a repaint and custom of the already fantastic figure of Gothmog. He has no less than 20 points of articulation! Since I had a big whopper of a sword lying around, and I disliked the oversized...[See More]

One of the first orc figures Toybiz brought out was this meager fellow. He had a bow, quiver and axe on a polestick. The face is that of the orc that is strangled by Lurtz when he is born in The...[See More]

The base figure was not so good, so I gave him a new face (nose) and beard. The hood is made of alufoil with greenstuff over it. The staff is a real stick with greenstuff and a white stone. The...[See More]

This is a repaint and slight modulation of the basic Mordor trooper. Sadley enough it has a leather armor, instaed of the iron one. I gave him the Frodo helmet and a green fleshtone, and a new...[See More]

This is a repaint mostly of the orc overseer, say: midwife of Saruman. I nailed his flappy coat to his body to make it stand less out. He got a playmobil helmet (an oldie from the 80s :-)) with...[See More]

This is a custom of the dungeon master figure. He got a new face and some hair, he lost his armor, got two drums and drumsticks. The drums are the packing of the chocolat eggs children get. The...[See More]

A gentle custom. I gave him some repaint, hair, an axe and a big shield. Oh yes, and he carries a chopped of hobbit head. It was the first Orc I bought and was so impressed by the quality of detail...[See More]

This a second version of the kit-bash figure, head of the overseer and body of Gorbag. I made a spear, shield, kneecaps, added some fur, the Uruk whip, a base and did a repaint....[See More]

Here is one of the first Orc customs I did. In the group of orcs that encounters the Uruks carrying Merry and Pippin, one has red hair. That seemed funny to do on this one. The helmet of this one...[See More]

Ogre scavenger , custom of the Harry Potter troll. In The Lord of the Rings appendices, Tolkien speaks of more evil creatures that gather around Sauron. Wherewolves, vampires and ''all kinds of evil...[See More]

Here is a customizing of Sharku, the warg rider. He has rubber legs, so a stand was a necessity. He turned out quite disgusting... The shield is made of ice-popsticks. I gave him hair, some fur and a...[See More]

This is the stunning version of the dungeon captain. I added cloth, made the sword anew (all these weapons tend to bend) and gave him more armour. And a cup. And a dirty repaint...[See More]

Here is another custom of the dungeon master. I turned him into a banner carrier. Made him bold, added a spiked club and constructed the banner. The skull logo is from a metal band, I forgot which...[See More]

I took away the plastic fur-skirt and replaced it with a real one. That needed repainting, for the skirt was the colour of the skin. There is a silly thing with the knee with this figure - it sticks...[See More]

The new McFarlane figures of GOT are fantastic. Nevertheless, I am building LOTR armies, so want figures to match up with that. Stick to the plan! Therefor I turned the Night King into an orc...[See More]
