Re: THE TAPROOM 4
And what good is all of this doing? Either you have something to say or you don't!
Well, I'm not the talkative one looking at count of my post it seems...

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 ?

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.
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!

I've done the same thing in the past! Ah, the joys of getting older.

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 
).
