How to Paint Gimli

In this short video I'll be painting up the plastic Gimli from the Fellowship of the Ring kit. It's quite an odd miniature, not one of my favourites from the kit for sure, as he looks a little slimmer than he seems in the films, but it's a worthy addition to the Fellowship.

Great job Rob, I expect nothing else of course!

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers Jamie, very much appreciated! How's tricks, man? We should be able to hang out again soon now that there's no lockdowns to get in the way! :)

Awesome looking model Rob. Looking forward to seeing you do the rest if the fellowship

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers Wrath, very much appreciated! :) He still only counts as one though, and I have another five to go I think... two weeks until Chrimbo, not sure I can do it! hahaha :)

[@WrathRuin]

@@BrushandBoltgun push dude. I reckon you can do the rest of the fellowship by Xmas. I believe

[@BrushandBoltgun]

As time passes this looks less and less likely! haha

Awesome paintjob Rob! I think the model could have used a bit more variety in colors, that would make it pop out more. Most of the colors now blend together. Keep up the amazing work!

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers htpkey, very much appreciated! :) Aye, he's wearing a whole heap of browns. Was using images from the movie (and a model, as his boots are rarely seen! haha) and he was very samey... A shame, as you say, more variety of colour would have worked well. At least the three hunters has an elf cloak! haha :-)

[@htpkey]

@@BrushandBoltgun It is still an amazing paintjob that is very true to the movies! Cheers!

[@BrushandBoltgun]

Cheers htpkey, I feel exactly the same with the colours blending together. Happy with how it turned out, but yeah, a little samey! :-)
