A bit of history 

Hello everyone and welcome to the Longsword Inn! I am Dussack, the innkeeper, take a sit, grab a glass and share your story with us.
To introduce me I put here some of my old works, hope you can enjoy them. 

Ye auld "cold" Balrog
About ten years ago, I owned a games and comic books store, during that period I've been contacted by Games Workshop, you know, just to check if I was interested in selling their products. Long story short, I received an amazing offer, to test the quality of the kits (as I had to test... I was collecting Warhammer bits since I was 12 :D ) but the guy over here was a surprise to me, I never panted a LoTR kit since that moment, and I still think that the Balrog is probably one of the best models Games Workshop made for that line of products.

Ye auld detail of thy Balrog
This model came in two versions, this I painted was the second one, a plastic kit designed by Alan Perry, Michael Perry and Steve Saleh, with two weapon options (the flaming sword I choose or a fire whip, that prbably is still wandering in one of my bits boxes) big 60mm base already decorated with stones and some flames that can be sticked in the base that I didn't use.
The idea to use cold colours came to me just randomly, I took the piece and I thought "why not!?" sometimes the sparkle of a moment gives more satisfaction than a programmed scheme!
What do you think?
