'Character/Scene from' TeemuL: A Time to Relax

I had some bigger plans for this bonus round, but as plans change and time goes by... The Challenge is not over yet, so it is not A Time to Relax for painters yet, but may be a small breath before the final madness?

So why don't you just lay down and relax a bit, just like the good old Frodo here?



Like last Bonus Round, I present another Lord of the Rings miniature, which has very little use on the game table. Like Isildur, Frodo is on the ground as well. I believe this is somewhere when Frodo and Sam were travelling towards Mordor with Gollum, Cooking the rabbit scene, perhaps?


He is holding a book, which I painted red...

The eyes look a bit odd from some direction, but at least they are not plates. It might be my painting, but the face doesn't look like Frodo much...


Looks almost like an alien from this angle...


Much better here!

This is just a comparison to a Frodo I painted for the AHPC V two years ago. I was supposed to take picture of these two next to each other, but of course I forgot... Anyway, I used this model as my color reference.

  1. Wonderful work Teemu! I really like that figure of Frodo leaning back on the stump. I think I'm going to have to hunt that one down for myself.

  4. Great work, Teemu! I think this is how my boss sees me most days. Is Frodo a Mithril figure? I don't recognize him as a GW sculpt.

    1. Thanks Michael!

      He is a GW sculpt, I didn't bought him as a new, but as a second hand, so I don't know if it is a blister or some box. But here's one:
