Many Mithril Pages @ Faerylands

This is quiet interesting indeed, Mister David Daines!!!!
I see you have had the opportunity to buy those "zvesda" ships . . . ?
That reminds me, that I have the Nina for my never-will-begin-grey-heavens-diorama.

Very nice to see your "working-atmosphere" !

Lot of work to do, Mr. Daines.

I only have 40-50 mithril miniatures still waiting to be painted, and for me is a lot

Step by step, and being constant and patient

The 'Crusader' Cog is almost complete now and I just have to finish off the crew . I originally had the hull as one piece, but have taken off the bottom half to form the basis of 'The Last Elven Ship' for my Grey Havens scene which I will start (and finish one day).

p.s. did you notice the Revell La Reale de France on the top shelf? Originally for the Corsairs, but it seems to grand for them so I will use it for the Tar-Minastir figure and hope I can find a crew to man her

The Cog scale fits Mithril perfectly (if you allow for a tight fit through the hatch leading up to the quarter deck), but I don't know if this company produces every kit that they sell or if they have brought Moulds from other companies and re-release them. The detail of the Cog is very well done.

I was going to hold back from posting images until this project was finished, but what the hell.... , it will give you an idea of scale comparison.

Keep on working on this project, David. It looks terrific !!!
And what a fantastic sail !!!! What the heck . . . always a pleasure to see some pictures of current work in progress !!!!

PS: the scale of my Zvezda "Nina" is 1:100 while the Coq is 1:72 . . .

Thank you kindly sir although I have admit that the design is not my own creation (http://wiki.lindefirion.net/GondorFlags). I am going to adapt it to my own needs however and will also add a black banner with the White Tree to give it a kind of 'post' LotR setting.

Next step is to colour the sea , should get me swearing

You may have not created the design, but you´ve done the artistic work perfectly. I think is not very easy to obtain such realistic sail.

And I agree with master Thingol, a very useful link

The crew are starting to board the ship, hopefully some images soon of the completed project

Soon, Sir, soon,
