Another sculpt bought from a fellow collector, a 1991Mannish Captain of Orthanc. The figure was a bit worn out - the tips of the helm are flattened - but I didn't mind too much. Overall the quality of sculpting is very high - there's only a minor glitch, namely an empty scabbard and no sword in it or anywhere else. If I were to do a diorama, it would be great to have a sword stuck in the ground, like he is negotiating a truce or about to start a duel.
I am not a great fan of Isengard, it never really appealed me, so I painted this guy with the colours of Angmar - grey-black like the northern Misty Mountains, and red like the colour of iron-rich stone, associated with Carn-dûm.
Not my best paintjob, but still ok I believe.
