Many Mithril Pages @ Faerylands

. . .you all talk about the orclord-site, fellows. You forget to praise the material of Mr. Hammerskiold. Certainly, I will do this ! You have to know that the magnificent Moria diorama is the reason, why I decide to paint and build dioramas, not collecting anymore . . . somwhere- more than a decade ago . . . in the mists of time . . . when I was young . . . and my hair was black  I think, I have to told him this.
But serious speeking: I have been waited for years concerning opening this webside of Peder Hammarskjöld.
Thank you Gavin for this information, and fellows: have a closer look at the Moria scene . . .

Rhuoommm ... good old Hammer-shield has always been someone to produce perfect dioramas ... huooommm ... I especially like the "Raft-elves" and the "Alatar"-diorama. The last one still keeps me breathless, as I've never seen it before .... rhuooommm ... well, about those wolves you might  have a look at Pedder's 'Winter Scenario' .... rhuoommhom there are more wolves .... hom

Both of these sites have been in my bookmarks for some time.  Peder used to live in the US, but is back in Sweden from what I understand.  He used to attend the "Mithril Gatherings" in the Eastern USA.  These happened in the mid to late ninties at the HMGS events.  Does anyone remember ever seeing a diorama by a fellow named Richard Poisson?  This was a fantastic Village of Bree, but it seems to have disappeared.

Huooommm .... very nice indeed in Bree .... huommm ... I still remember another diorama set in Bree (but not that complex, so to say) ... huommm ... anyway ...
By now we have the two winners of the GF-voting ... hom ... well, then ... ok

Oh, concerning GF. I give everybody a drink for free, because there is a new goldfellowship member: it´s me !!!!
Salut !

I don´t know if you said something about it, but we can see GRISHNAKH ....

Indeed, have you come Newsletter of Michael? I have not received anything in relation to the winners of Dec-Jan, but in the forum can see who won ....

. . . good ?! Grishnakh is looking f a n t a s t i c  !
I was a little bit critical about another orc-charakter. I thought the topic "orcs" was checked off. There are enough and the last ones looks similar and , well a little bit harmless (  the LT-orcs for example ) !
BUT: The Man has surpassing himself ! Once again ! This orc looks evil and a kind of shifty . . .
This orc makes me shiver . . . Let´s paint orcs again . . .

Start painting orcs again?

I spend my life painting orcs

Nice figure though. I suspect I'll be getting this one!

Huuoommmm ... when I started to paint some Mithrils in the early 90s, orcs were some of the first figures to be painted ... huom ... right, Master Barliman, then I stuck to that strange idea that their colour of skin should be green .... rhuooommmm ... I chose the dirty, muddy green you find in ponds .... none of these light or even shiny green colours ....huomrhuooommm ... then, later, I decided to distinguish between the Uruk-hai and Mordor orcs (which I painted in a very dark grey with a slight dark-blueish tone) in contrast to the greenish common orcs you find everywhere .... huooommmm .... as for the blood I did not stick to Tolkien's writings ... hom ... the only time a had to paint orc-blood was with the small M326 Schagrat & Gorbag vignette where I used red because to me it produced a better contrast to the rest of the figures ... rhuoom ... had I used black for the blood there, one would not have noticed the wound in the lying figure's back .... rhuooooommmmm

Huuoooomrhuoommm ... I nearly forgot about the newsletter ... I also did not receive one, but you can find it on the Mithril homepage where also pics of King Brand and Ingold can be seen .... hom

Oh, I have to hurry. I would like to say that I agree totally to Theobald concerning the orcish colour of skinn. I also prefer that kind of gray tones, but I mix also a little bit of "Bohemian green earth ". I you like, please have a look at my works in the "gallery of Mayor Samweis".
