The Realm of Middle Earth - Pt.2: Mordor Troll


Wait what is this? 2! yes 2! new posts in a single weekend?

Well honestly this wasn't what I had planned to post next but while up late last night due to bloody toothache I cracked out this fine fellow out in around 2h's (Including drying times for washes).





Melkor created trolls before the First Age. They were very strong, but turned into stone in sunlight. Many trolls died in the War of Wrath, but some survived and joined the forces of Sauron, the greatest surviving servant of Morgoth. In the Second and Third Age, trolls were among Sauron's most dangerous warriors. He created the Olog-hai, which were smarter than earlier breeds of trolls. While most trolls cannot bear exposure to sunlight without turning to stone, the Olog-hai apparently could (to the same extent as orcs); this attribute was mentioned in The Return of the King as making them particularly dangerous.



Great fun figure to finish and get off my pile of shame, while not that old it still have alot of the old charm of the figures made decades ago.

Anyway just a quick extra post today which I hope you enjoyed, be sure to follow the Blog and give a comment if you wish.
