Re: Old and New Mithril converted

Absolutely! Absolutely!
Especially the sword! Great!
Be careful, Master Tolwen could explain, that such a sword wasn´t mentioned by Master Tolkien . . .  wink

Re: Old and New Mithril converted

...I see that figure is finished.... magnificent... After all those conversions of all those mounted Haradim it seems to me is no other choice but to buy those few spare figures and convert them.... I'm curious what can I do smile

Great! What are you planning to do with them? A diorama of the Pelennor would be great.

Re: Old and New Mithril converted

smile Only because it was not mentioned by T, doesn't mean it does not exist. It is a imaginary world. That's why I love the books, I can use my own imagination in how to see things and what is there or not.
I'm sure T didn't mention toilets either, but I'm also sure the people living in the large cities where not sitting in the streets to do their "thing". lol

What am I going to do with them? Don't know! They might have to take a long journey to reinforce some friends in attacking a caravan..... big_smile

Well, yes and and no as the Elves would say wink

Personally I prefer a systematic approach in developing or interpreting the "white spaces" in Middle-earth. First look at what information we have available from Tolkien on the matter in question (e.g. positive evidence), compare these to fitting real-world models (if possible) and from there working to get a most probable extrapolation/interpretation. Therefore I am always sounding like the "Tolkien police", but try to base it on positive evidence as sketched above. It's certainly less "artistic" as when I let my imagination run free first, but IMO it's the best way to get an approximation of the style Tolkien developed as well (and thus produce results that fit).

Whenever possible, I always try to avoid to argue with *missing* evidence as the rationale for my solutions, as it is always in danger of getting too close to the argumentum ad ignorantiam, which is of course no base for serious discussion (at least I hope so that this is a consensus here as well wink )

As for everyday tasks like people doing their "thing" it's of course not really a challenge, but for things going beyond mundane tasks (e.g. peculiarities in Middle-earth), the first look to what we have is IMO a prerequisite for sound extrapolations.

Best
Tolwen

A S T R E I N !
And I know the background of this figure! cool big_smile cool
I think this is exactly what this "original-figure" is meant of. Want to say, this is exactly that what to do.
Ahem-want to say, this is the perfect conversion for that figure . . .
My friend: chapeau!
