Beorn the "skin-changer".

The last of the Hobbit mini's I had, now complete in a display piece.

Representing his ability to change into a great black bear, I have placed him back to back with a black bear.

Beorn mini' is from #MithrilMiniatures, and the bear is Bjornhilda from @FenrisGames

The rest is scratchbuilt.

Mirkwood Book Nook.

Scratch-built diorama to display 2 #MithrilMiniatures.

Built in a wooden box to be displayed within a bookshelf.
Includes LEDs to show light at the end of the path.

This depicts Elrond and Thranduil meeting in the depths of Mirkwood at an entrance to the Elvenking's Halls.

Bard the bowman stands atop a burning tower, readies an arrow to shoot down the dragon.

Another #MithrilMiniatures mini' on a scratchbuilt display.
I used a wire to add a string to the bow.

This also includes an LED candle inside the burning tower to give the fire some glow (see the last picture) and flickering.

Gandalf. Y'know who I'm talking about, that "you shall not pass" chap.

This #MithrilMiniatures figure now has a scratch-built display base and I painted this up as if lit from the tip of his staff.

Calling Smaug done, now with his treasure and Bilbo. I may change the base in the future. Also a progress shot of his belly that you can't otherwise see. #mithrilminiatures #Hobbit #Smaug #hobbyTime

Bit more done on Smaug applied a wash to tone down the gold, did his eye as well. Next step the jewels on his belly...that will not be seen. #mithrilminiatures #Hobbit #hobbyTime

Bilbo pretty much done. Bit more work on Smaug as well #mithrilminiatures #hobbyTime

Smaug's treasure is pretty much done, as are the random Pukel men. Started on some base colours for Bilbo as well. Smaug himself has had his spine and legs done as well. #mithrilminiatures #hobbyTime #Hobbit

Re-attached Smaugs wing and painted over the joint, does blend in well enough. Started on his treasure piles as well. #hobbyTime #mithrilminiatures

Happy New Year when you get there. My favourite models I've painted this year. The Fellowship and Hobbit box sets from Mithril Miniatures. #mithrilminiatures

Smaug has his head, tail, wings and legs all glued and cemeted in place. His treasure, Bilbo and some random Pukel men are ready to undercoat as well #Smaug #mithrilminiatures
