I am very proud right now. This project has been sitting in my backlog for 20 years and now the whole Fellowship is together, painted up on this beautiful base, and it's something I will display forever on my shelves. It was a real joy to finally place each member in their correct place, and I'm so happy to see you guys getting your old Lord of the Rings models painted as well. What's been your proudest moment hobby wise this year?

Brings back memories of staring at that through the window of a GW store.
Like so many of us did! Love how many people remember that!
One word: Glorious !
Two words-thank you!
Looks amazing! Please keep the Middle Earth Monday content coming!
It’s here to stay! Battle of Pelennor Fields series starts July 3rd!
I love it when a plan comes together.
haha me too, so happy with the result
That's a thing of beauty. Yep, excited to see the rest of the series!!!
Thanks so much! Stay tuned for a lot more!
Fantastic, great job! I have my set in storage waiting for that glorious day when I can try get them painted.
Oh awesome, you’ll have a great time with it!
A treasure from ages past to be sure, Middle Earth Monday is possibly my favourite thing on the channel. Looking forward to seeing Pelanor Fields
I'm very excited to get it started too, lots of different models in the one set!
Spot on, as always!
Thanks pal, appreciate that!
You look really happy about it buddy. Well done you
I’m super pleased haha, it was about time it was finished!
Turned out great! Excited to see what you do with Pelennor Fields box.
Thanks man, glad you’re looking forward to it!
Incredible job! Looks so good all done.
Thanks so much, I’m so happy it’s finished finally!
Really enjoyed Middle Earth Monday! Congrats on completing the project must feel great
I'm so happy, I didn't realise how proud i would be until i slotted all the models in at the end.
@@MediocreHobbies I can only imagine the satisfaction that came with that!
Absolutely awesome, well done
Thanks so much, feels really good to have it done!
WOW! Looks amazing!
Thanks so much, very happy with it!
You did it! You should be proud, these look awesome and its a great feeling to get another project in your backlog done. Excited for the Pelennor Fields!
I am too, such a different range of models in the one set, will be a lot of fun to do!
Beautiful!
Thanks so much!
Nice! Congratulations!
Cheers man, really happy it’s done!
So awesome!
Thanks so much!
Good. Moria is one of my favourite bits in the book a it comes through very well in the film as well.
It's such a good bit in the movie!
Great work Andy! Never heard of this set before seeing this video, was very envious watching you paint it.
About 2 hours after watching video a full set (unpainted) went up on a Buy/Sell group that I was able to snatch up, think it was fate. Can’t wait to get started on it!
Oh wow that was definitely fate! Incredible timing there, you need to get it all painted up and on display now!
Love the base. Well done on getting this finished. It would bother me personally too much not to touch up the Games Workshop on the back, but I agree its not a huge deal since its in the back.
I might go back to it some day, right now I’m thinking black is safer than messing up anything and regretting it 😄
Came out great, gratz on finishing it all :)
cheers mr tight lips, really happy with it!
It looks fantastic! That dio is one of those things you have in your stash waiting for the inspiration to complete.
For the base, I would have gone with gold instead of black as a reference to the One Ring, with the script highlighted in silver. It would be overly ambitious for me to try to NMM the base as gold, so I would try for TMM instead.
That’s a great idea, didn’t even think of that, I think the black looks nice and clean though! Would love to see one done like that though some time’
Would be great to have the chance to get one of those bases again
Definitely agree!!
OMG that is awesome. i have 2 unfinished of them, got one with some magazines and one from a yard sale (20+) years ago... they must be somewhere in my mothers basement. time to look for them^^
Yes you really do need to root them out and get them painted up! Glad you liked the video!
I had this, but sad to say I never painted it up and sold it. Wish I still had it!
Aw man, maybe you’ll come across another one in future, would love if they brought them back out for a bit again!
This was great! Just so much fun seeing you paint something that’s old and special. For me it has been the minis for Advanced Heroquest, they’re super nostalgic to me and I’ve had them for over 30 years before I painted them. I recently finished Journeys in Middle-earth and I’m now back to painting the rerelease of Heroquest and all the expansions.
Glad you liked them and that is an awesome
Project.
Amazing work!!!!
Thanks so much!
Absolutely beautiful work Andy. Bravo sir. Bravo!!
Cheers, really appreciate that from you!
One thing I'd like for my collection is that scenic base. I have the plastic tomb from the old Mines of Moria starter set, so I could try making my own, but I'd rather have a big battle scene with some Goblins and the Troll.
Depending on how I get on with Leviathan, I may join you and try to get my Pelennor set done. It's been in a cupboard for nearly 2 years.
But the one big LotR project I want to do is to have a complete collection of models to play through the old Fall of the Necromancer campaign book, the first book I ever brought from GW. I went through my box of project models and made a list of what's there and in what condition. Just need to get Imperium finished before I can do anything else.
Keep up the amazing work. I may even get some Middle-Earth videos done myself in the future.
I love that project. Please do it. And you can get this scenic base on eBay. A good price is about €50
@MediocreHobbies I'm currently working on the project. Got the trees I needed yesterday. I just need to drip collect the models needed for each scenario.
Congratulations!
Thanks so much!
super fun ....maybe add paper and books to bases of the hero's...just a thought
Hmm that’s a good idea..
You videos are amazing, so happy to see that you paint the LOTR sets. Can please, please do the Hobbit? Thorin’s Company. Keep up the amazing work! Cheers!
Cheers pal. Very kind. I do have plans for them don’t worry n
Just made my day! Can't wait for that video. @@MediocreHobbies
Should be really proud of that bud. Looks absolutely superb!
Glad to hear you're keeping up the Middle Earth content
I really am happy, so nice to have it on a shelf now! Yes it’s here to stay 🙌
Not sure if I told this story about how I acquired my diorama base before. Basically I couldn't sub to the magazine because my parents didn't have a credit card, life before the internet eh? Anyway a year or so later a kid on my street had it but didn't want it so I ended up trading a YuGiOh starter deck for it, think it cost me about €8...or maybe it was pounds even?!
The whole piece came out really well Andy and Gimili's base looks better than I expected since you went for an almost matching grey on the tomb! I think you should definatly fill in the GW logo at the back though!
ah the good old days before the switch to the Euro.
Definitely better than YuGiOh cards haha That was such a good deal :D I might go back at some stage, right now the back isn't visible on display so I'm not in a rush to paint the logo!
ya there's plenty of different books in Warhammer or just do a blue stuff press mold off of the display
then just cut small pages out of card stock... super easy
Oh ye for sure. I’ve many 3D printers. So little books will be dead handy.
Awesome work, you should paint the games workshop part though
I might go back to it some day! For now, it’s just waiting for me to decide 😄
I got one of these bad boys! Fully painted with the fellowship
Nice!! Love to hear that!
Good job 👍🏻
Thanks 😁
I was a redshirt during this era and that plinth and set bring me back. Love this series. These models were so fun to paint but I always found the game meh. Looking forward to some Rohan action!
Aw I love the game! Good to hear from another GW crew member-those were the days!
Andy, I really appreciate that you give us these wonderful Middle-Earth videos, considering they probably get you less views and whatnot... And for that, thank you! You are one of the few youtubers who put in time and effort to produce videos of this high quality about these minis (Swords & Brushes is another whose videos I enjoy very much)
Thanks so much, that's really kind and encouraging to hear! Determined to bring a bigger audience to Middle Earth, it's such a great game and i love the models. Thanks so much, will check out swords and brushes as well, pretty sure I know that channel but will check again!
20 years is better than never :-)
I had Sauron when I was a kid but I cant find him anywhere :-(
Aw man that sucks, he was a great model
Thanks so much for this, going to be painting my own once I get the fellowship back together!
Any tips on how you got the miniature bases to match the stand so well?
Like I did in the video. Do the scenic base and miniature base at the same time.
You should paint the games workshop part yellow and red like the old sign
I might, if I ever get time!
I wonder how balins tomb from the mines of moria kit sizes up with the one here, whether you could cut out a circle from the plastic lid for Gimli?
Well that's a good idea...hmm
I don't feel too bad now, I have some of those magaines still unopened... 😀🤪
Hahaha they’ll be worth money soon 😂
Never did receive that base.Had the whole series of magazines on subscription. Even after ringing and shouting 'Oi' it just never turned up.
Aw man I’m sorry to hear that, that’s so frustrating!!
you should paint the GW logo, dont get the hate the company who accually made this hobby is recieving.
I don’t hate them one bit. I worked for them for 15 years and loved every day.
@@MediocreHobbies the way you said you werent sure you wanted to touch that ever again when speaking about the logo seemed like it.
everything looks fantastic! Well, except Aragorn. He’s supposed to be black.
Other depictions sure, but this is based on Viggo! Of course it’s up to you to paint it anyway you like.
@@MediocreHobbies I’m just teasing you my friend, lol. With the drama over the MTG cards, I couldn’t resist :)
Hahahaha I seen the drama and I was ready :D
I wonder if you are the first person to complete this . . . .
Hahaha it was very hard to find reference photos on the internet actually...
