Good man Master Barkeep. Let's end this and wait for the next open month to vote.
Free scrumpy for all! He shout's searching in his bag..(Hmm where is the rest of the dwarfen gold)

Ahemm, found the right size eagle and the fitting M to convert....
But now we really have to end this and wait until the oarsmen are ready:rolleyes:

Huoooommmm .... so do I ... hom. This had to be said, Master Barliman ... huommm .... and thanks for that drink ... hom I really appreciated that as it doesn't seem to be one of your habits to give a drink for free .... rhuoommmm .... so I'll be back later as I first have to look at that side room .... hom

Huoommmm ... alas ... Master Ddaines ... I nearly forgot. Because of that Imrahil. No, there'll be no risk being away the next two weeks ... huommm ... the master figure arrived at the factory yesterday ... hom .. that means the mould-maker can start his work by now ... rhuoomm.
I also read in that newsletter that the MX is thought of to be released in March ... huoommm ... I think not until the end of March, or even April .... huommmm ... as we all know that sometimes there are certain delays in the Mithril production ...hom

Huuoommmm .... what is this ... ?
a tabroom .... alas ... rhuoommm ... nobody cares any more .... rhuoomm ... all being absent in those many side rooms and it's just me ... rhuoommm .. being here awaiting that bowl of water the barkeep promised me for free ... sic!
so meanwhile I'm considering if those half-rotten and worn warg-skin doormats should be placed elsewhere ... rhuoommm ... nope ... leave it to the room and the barkeep ... huoommm ... I did care much about those filthy ...

There's nowt wrong with the rugs, so you let them be. And of course you're not here alone. The Ranger is still lurking in one of the corners somewhere. But if you need me just holler - I'm in and out these days, but I'm always in one room or another. It takes a lot of dashing about with trays, but I'm not getting any thinner. I think I must have put your bowl down in one of the parlours - I'll go and look for it.

Huuoommmm .... stop, Master Barliman ... don't haste, please ... rhuomm ... of course I'm aware of the ranger ... hom ... but, well, to be honest, methinks that the matter of not becoming thinner might be caused by the fact that the ways you have to take cross the kitchen ... huooom.
rhuooommm ... in case you find that bowl somewhere, would you top it up, please? ..... huom.
But don't haste ... I'm patient and enjoying the silence in this taproom ..... rhuoommmmm.

Well I am off now for a couple of weeks, basking in the Sun (hopefully). Keep the home fires burning Barli, and a stool at the bar.
The Corsairs are painted and pictures sent, will they win? Who knows, but it's been a damn fine incentive to paint them - the fastest I have ever painted a series; that normally takes about 10 - 15 years to do
See y'all in a couple of weeks.
Dave.
p.s. Thanks for the info regarding Imrahil Master Ent it comforts me to know, unless Mithril do the unexpected and release on schedule.

Hello Masterr Tree, yes I am here often. But lately my wanderings have taken me away from the Pony for days at a time. Still, I should be around more often in the next few days, as I have promised Master Gildor that I would do some research for him, and that has been quite awhile ago, so i am feeling the need to keep my word.
Nob? Oh, there you are. Be a good fellow and bring me another pint of ale while I smoke and look over these old books. My Tab? Yes, Nob, just add it to my tab--I'm sure Barli won't mind.

Huooooommmm good to have you back here again, Master Twrich. ... huoomm ... just try to keep your promise as Master Gildor desperately is in need of help .... rhuooommm. thank you.
Offline
Very quiet again. Not even Master Ent is in for a bowl of water. Oh well, at least Nob is here to serve the guest. Thank you very much for the scumpy Nob, very dry again after all that rain. Its just nice to sit here accompanied by a scrumpy and staring in the fire. Thanks Nob I'm all right, just a little tired after hanging up all those pictures in the other rooms.

if you are in need of anything master caster , just ring the little bell, I won't be far..
Oh and by the way, master Gildor sends his thanks for your pictures. He seemed most pleased last I saw him
Offline
Huooommmmm ... wonderful conversions, Master Caster .... huom ... so far I didn't see any of those warg-riders ... great figures indeed .... huommm .... you deserve that name ..... hom.
But you're right, is has become very quiet in here .... rhuooommm .... I don't know why .....

The problem is there's nothing new to report at the moment, and when there is it often gets voiced in one of the other parlours rather than here in the taproom.
One thing I can report is that I finally got my Corsairs yesterday after a considerable delay (thereby hangs a tale), and aren't they good? Definitely some of The Man's very best work. Mind you, I hadn't realised until now that some of them are veritable multi-part kits! I could do without that - the more bits there are to stick on, the more bits there are to break off, and the figures become inordinately fragile to handle, especially on a wargame table. But that's a small criticism compared to the very real pleasure of having some new Mithril 'M's to enjoy.
So, Dol Amroth next, I guess?

Five minute Epoxy, Barliman, five minute epoxy.
You get the thingie on with that stuff, and it stays on unless you go to some trouble to pull it off. Add in a bit of super glue into the mix and it sticks faster, so it works much the same as super glue on its own.
If the figures are multi-part, then it stands to reason that there's lots of room for conversion, which is good.

Did someone say there's lots of room for conversion???? I must have a closer look!
Offline
Holger I thought about something? would you mind making a little illustrated article about the art of mould making, and of reverse mould making with some pics? I'm sure that could be an interesting article
Offline
What do you mean with "reverse" mould making ?
Offline
well, making a mould using a master which is already a casting... well I suppose?
Offline
I suppose I can put something together regarding the process of producing a mould from a master (green) and a production mould for spinncasting
Offline
well it depends if people are interested in that or not indeed. That was just a suggestion
Offline
Are there any other would-be casters out there, or is Holger the only one?
Offline
I am interested.
I do have access to a spin machine, but I'd probably need a lot more stuff to get that far.

well I bought all the warforge elf series and I had quite some fun casting figurines, but I lack knowledge besides that... I know how to cast, that's all...
Actually this warforge was cool but they did not made more references with them so if I could make my own that would be great... most of all to make conversions myself, not to deteriorate or spoil my rare originals which both deserve painting but also deserve remaining untouched... if you see what I mean
