Re: THE TAPROOM 4

Best is to remain talkative, when once has something to be said here.
So Barliman, you talk in short memos but forgot drinks didn't you ?roll

Re: THE TAPROOM 4

Very nice again, Master Gerold. I assume you already have a "Gollum-on-log" to go with these?

Re: THE TAPROOM 4

No, not yet. I think I didn't like the figure. But now you mention it, it's a figure that fits with the boats... in a very large diorama as Gollum may not come too close.

Re: THE TAPROOM 4

Yes, there are issues with the "Gollum-on-log" figure insofar as he doesn't tally with JRRT's description of how he laid on the log in such a way that he was only discernabe by his "paddle-feet" dipping in and out of the water. But we have to acknowledge that he isn't likely to be redesigned any time soon, and must work with what we've got!

Re: THE TAPROOM 4

I discovered Gollum in my collection, so I did buy him. Always nice to be surprised by your own collection.roll
So he's next on my painting list.

Re: THE TAPROOM 4

You'll be surprised more often as you get older and your memory becomes less reliable!

Re: THE TAPROOM 4

Now here is my painted Gollum, the Log with Eyes.
I was happy with the paintjob, but the picture reveals a spot on his face (under his eye) I didn't see on the real figure. After all it is a small miniature.

Re: THE TAPROOM 4

Master Gerold well painted! As you said its a small figure and the picture is huge in comparison to the figure.

Re: THE TAPROOM 4

Very nice Gerold.

I must admit I have long wondered why Gollum is (nearly ?) always portrayed as only wearing a loincloth when you would think that it was bloody cold down under the mountains and the goblins he occasionally snacked on would have worn clothes.

I suppose we have just come to accept it (not that I am complaining wink ).
