bricklearth Posted April 18, 2015 I've been working on building up an army of elves, using Elrond from the Witch-King Battle set, and some slightly customized helmets from the Atlantis theme. I think they look pretty solid form-wise, but haven't painted them yet, so they're clearly in-progress. Even in their not-done state, I think the effect of a dozen of them together is pretty cool, so I wanted to share/get feedback. It might be a better question for the Minifig customization forum, but does anyone know a good paint to get close to pearl gold? Need to track that down to finish these :) Untitled by bricklearth, on Flickr by bricklearth, on Flickr by bricklearth, on Flickr Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The helmet hack is not an original idea, although I cannot for the life of me remember where I first saw it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LegoFanfromPR Posted April 20, 2015 I built an Elven army, which resembled the LOTR High Elves, but yours are dead on. How many you intend to have? I know they can be quite expensive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Balbo Posted April 20, 2015 Brilliant One of the best elven armies I've ever seen. Especially the helmet looks awesome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Braunsfeld Posted April 22, 2015 Very good Elven army - are they really not finished? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bricklearth Posted April 23, 2015 How many you intend to have? I know they can be quite expensive. 2-3 dozen. A fair few, but not a really giant number the way some folks do :) Very good Elven army - are they really not finished? The helmets are a kind of gold-black speckle right now, plus the underlying black is exposed from where I trimmed the parts. I want to paint them to match pearl gold, but haven't been able to figure out a good color match yet. But shape-wise they're done :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
