Re: THE TAPROOM 2
As Master Dave says, it would seem to make more sense to sell produtcs at a more reasonable price than have them just sit on the shelf for years on end.
Dave adds that he bought some MS figures that he hadn't intended to buy, and so did I - I bought two that I'd probably never have bought at their usual prices. Indeed, they were released several years ago, and I never felt that I could justify the cost - until now.
Sadly, there are some expensive figures that I still find too expensive even at half-price!

Had I had the money I would also have grabbed the Helm's Deep 2 set, but that's for another special offer

Re: THE TAPROOM 2
I bought 2 MS + a douzen regulars I do not have in MINT condition.
For sure, withhout selling price like this, I would have kept my collection as is.
Now, some primed minis will improve my glass cabinet shelves

Re: THE TAPROOM 2
I just discovered a painter called Robin Eley whose artwork consists in paiting reality, as if paints were pictures taken by a camera. Have a look, this is incredible:

Re: THE TAPROOM 2
Proud painter, master Milo! His mastery of the "reflections" is very good and his work is very realistic. If you would like to paint realistic-military, I can advise you another wonderful Spanish painter. His Napoleonic serie has me excited ....

Re: THE TAPROOM 2
I like the technique Master Ent, and the fact that I can learn from him how to have transparent effects with paintings 
I don't care about nude ladies in plastic.

Re: THE TAPROOM 2
Your links are fantastic, Master erchamion!
Very much pleased to watch at these archtectural paintings.
Remind me on "matte-paintings" which I do like very much.

Re: THE TAPROOM 2
I think I long for a very strong coffee. Is it possible to have one, Master Barliman?
My headache returns and become stronger and stronger . . .

Re: THE TAPROOM 2
I didn't know elves could suffer from headache. Maybe due to dwarves singing around his house ?

Re: THE TAPROOM 2
More likely to be due to drinking too much scrumpy.

You are more closer than you can imagine, Master Forest Warden.

Three thick thrushes thruggle through a thick thicket.
May I have another pint of scrumpy please, Master Barliman?

It sounds to me more like you need a strong coffee.

Re: THE TAPROOM 2
Today I received my figurines ordered with 50%, I find even more beautiful at that price 
. I have had some MS, marked for a long time but too expensive for my small purse, like MS571, MS572 and MS573. I love the ent with more détails
To celebrate this and finish emptying my purse, I offer a drink to all our friends who will come in our tavern today. Don't worry, Master Barliman, I put my last coiny things on your counter.

Re: THE TAPROOM 2
Always nice when a customer buys the landlord a drink! Thanks for that - though I wish my Mithrils had turned up too! I seem to have several things lost in the post at the moment - I hope my Mithril package isn't going to be another one....

Perhaps I should have said 'mail'. I forgot you're a bit sensitive about posts.
