More Beorn and Bear diorama.
I followed the "official" colour scheme for Beorn, from what I found on Mithril Miniatures.
The bear, I painted up with reference to black bears. Black to grey with a hint of brown.
More angles of the Gandalf diorama.
Front and back views of Gandalf himself.
In the dim light almost all colour is gone.
Lit from only the tip of his staff, anything not in line-of-sight of it is in deep shadow.
More angles of the Beorn/Bear diorama.
When looking from Beorn's side, the bear form is visible behind him; it's always present and available to him.
When looking from the Bear side, Beorn's form disappears behind the sheer bulk; He looses himself in bear form.
More views of Bilbo from this diorama.
The scenery is mainly layers of cardboard, cut in harsh shapes, covered with tissue paper/PVA and then textured with plaster.

Goblin Vs Dwarf.
Thorin Oakenshield meets the Goblin King.
Not quite how it plays out in the book, but call it artistic licence.
I painted this diorama as if lit only from the 2 torches at either end of the bridge.
One of those occasions when I do OSL.
Again, using 2 figures from #MithrilMiniatures

Gandalf in Moria.
I built this diorama to display the Mithril Miniatures Gandalf miniature.
I also took this as an opportunity for some extreme "Object Source Lighting". Painted as if only lit from the tip of Gandalf's staff.
Built as a Chrismas present a few years ago, the Dwarven on the column says "Merry Christmas".
Beorn, the skin-changer. As seen in The Hobbit.
Diorama created with the #MithrilMiniatures Beorn figure, and the @FenrisGames Bjornhilda Bearacus figure.
To show both forms of Beorn I positioned the figures back to back, so Beorn transforms if you rotate the diorama.
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.
Goblin Vs. Dwarf.
Diorama build from scratch and using 2 figures from #mithrilminiatures
Thorin Oakenshield faces the Goblin king across a small bridge, lit only by a pair of torches.
An exercise in OSL, not something I do often, but this one turned out quite fun.
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.
