    That's awesome to hear! When I think of gold armor for middle earth I think of Rivendell elves!

    Yeah that's prob the best bet. If he picks it himself he'll probably enjoy it more and have a higher chance of sticking with it. The more the merrier in our hobby!

    Had some time last couple of days to work on two more Citadel Guards:

    By now they are fully painted. They just need basing.

    Lately I tend to diviate more and more in the MESBG side of the hobby. As I was going through the armybook, specifically the Minas Tirith sectio my eye fell on the Guards of the Fountain Court.

    The rulebook states as follows:

    20210716_211519.jpg
    The Wargear a Guard comes with is Heavy armour, dagger and a spear.

    Optional it can be given a shield or a banner.

    I like the models quite a bit and don't mind that they are resin cast, but the optional shield is not supplied with the models, neither does the banner.
    There are alternative sculpts for purchase.

    Luckely I had some Numenorians lying around to borrow a shield from. With a magnet and a piece of metal I made it really optional.

    20210717_090632.jpg 20210717_090528.jpg 20210716_201810.jpg 20210716_201901.jpg 20210716_201924.jpg 20210716_201959.jpg 20210716_202004.jpg

    I painted up the shield in a different way then the Warriors of Minas Tirith currently have their shields. This was a nice tester to see if I could do better. It was supposed to look like the shieldbis made up out of multiple planks of wood:

    20210720_211348.jpg 20210720_211403.jpg

    I like the result, but it could be sharper. I will try this on the warriors as well, when I'll get to repainting them.

    And here is the end result of a Guard of the Fountain Court with shield:

    20210720_211414.jpg
    20210720_211427.jpg
    20210720_211440.jpg
    20210720_211452.jpg

    I still need to think of a way to get a removable banner on the spear:pompus:

    Well, for me you achieved your target with the shield. I can see that it is supposed to be multiple pieces of wood.

    Hey man, great idea with those shields. I remember having the same issue back when I did my own guards of the fountain court… that magnet thing is mint. Keep going!

    Nice work on that shield! Colors look great and nice that it is magnetized! I do love magnets :D

    In the last couple of days I had to remind my son almosy every day that, although he has summer vacation, I still have to work.

    Him painting his first model is planned for upcoming saterday :) :)

    I lined up the following models, for him to choose from:

    And he picked:

    This is a man of Numenor with shield, just to clear that up (I thought it wasn't that good to see from the picture)
