Mithril Miniatures Frodo, Sam, and Gollum

[Lord of the Dish Pit 23428]

These are some minis I picked up in the discount bin of Leisure Hours Hobbies in the mid 90s. The sculpts I think are from 93. They've been hanging around on my paint stand for awhile, so I figured it time to finish them. These are also possibly the smallest minis I've painted yet.

Discussing the proper way of preparing fish...

I tried to give Sting on the left, a slight glowing effect.

I see Gollum's base could use a bit of touching up...arg.

And a guest appearance from the gnome from a Reaper Learn to Paint Kit, to demonstrate scale. (Sir Forescale seems to have wandered off on some manner of adventure...)

Very nice group!

 I’ve always really like Mithril Miniatures (even though I only own one) and I like how yours came out, very nicely painted.  My only question for these are how come they always have such high foreheads (which has nothing to do with your painting)?

Sweet trio! I learned to paint on Mithril minis. It's so nice to see some posted here! *squee* 

 

The first mini I ever painted was the Mithril Arwen figure on the right (in spoiler) back around 1993. My friend, who was teaching me how to paint, fussed at me for giving her black hair. He said elves were supposed to be blond.  I also wanted to paint her in a white dress, but he said it would be to hard and not contrast enough (he was right), so only the top part of her dress is white. I painted the other ones a few weeks later. All from Mithril Miniatures. Aaah, memories.

Thanks for the nostalgic flashback! I actually had these models back in the day but I only have the Gollum now....maybe he ate the other Hobbitses?
