About the Project
Digging out my old Lord of the Rings miniatures I cumulated over the last 20 odd years. First I want to make an inventory of what I own and what I'm 'missing'. Then I want to freshen the already painted minis up and get some paint on the rest.

Starting point - making up an inventory
Last weekend I watched the complete trilogy with my wife for the I don’t know how much time, probably about the 40th to 50th time. The story is such a classic and I think Peter Jackson and his team did a realy good job translating it to the silver screen. I think they are some of the best movies ever made.
Every time I watch the movies I get inspired to do some LotR hobbying. Since the Spring Clean Challenge is still on and I finished my other project I thought it was a good idea to get out all my minis and make an inventory. I put them all in an spreadsheet with the different statuses. This took me about 5 to 6 hours because I also fixed all the bent and broken weapons. Turns out I have 558 minis of which 38 are double charactermodels. I probably going to try and sell these somewhere online. Of the 520 models 255 are painted, but most of them haven’t seen washes or glazes. So the next step will be fixing the old models to my new standards.
Here is an overview of my total collection:
I sorted the minis by faction and will keep a score of how many I have finished.
Gondor & Arnor 55 / 89
Rohan 15 / 77
Elven Kingdoms 30 / 41
Dwarf Holds 11 / 12
Forgotten Kingdoms 34 / 47
Mordor 31 / 73
Isengard 44 / 95
Misty Mountains 14 / 29
Fallen Realms 20 / 52
