Many Mithril Pages @ Faerylands

If Master Estel isn't back, who did I just serve a drink to?

And all of the new Helm's Deep release are going to be good, I'm sure, Master Archer. And I'm also very much looking forward to the White Council release, about which I confess I know absolutely nothing. But I wonder what the prices of these new releases will be. Are we in for another shock? I'm not sure I could stand it at the moment. I only hope the prices don't sour our joy at the appearance (at last!) of some new M figures!

Master Barliman: You are c o m p l e t e l y  right !
I for myself do look forward to the white Council also, and this news makes me shiver . . .

Time for a strong drink!

At this point of time we are able to pay for it . . .
There could be only one thing which sours: the lime juice inside my italian Bitter . . .

Concerning that by Master Gavin mentioned "pain-in-the-bum saga of the undercoat doom: I have ordered some of the Rohan warriors from the HD 1 serie last week!
All covered with that sticky stuff . . . Did I forget something? Did "they" forget something?
The reason to visit this pharmacist woman for a bottle of aceton . . .

... I hope HD 2 will come without bad or any undercoat.... I was last time also spend a week to move as you write above "sticky staff - called crap ".... those figures on newsletter pictures are remarkable...

What are you worried about, just dump the minis in scrumpy it'll take all the goop of..... and it you lucky it only desolves parts of the figures:lol:

Well, Acetone is not the best thing anyhow!
If you get a thinner for nitro laquer and bath the little fellows in it for a day, then scrubb them with a hard toothbrush I'm sure you get the undercoat of. If not the first time, repeat the procedure. With that method I got all of mine cleaned up... so far.

Any excuse will do.

I use Nitro Mors to strip the paint. Follow the same procedure as with the Master Caster's concoction. It works excellently - probably even better than my scrumpy.

Huuooommmmmrhuommm ... hom ... Master Barliman, would you please serve liquids for all regulars around here, please? ... huoomm? ... yes, of course, mark it on my tab ... grrrruhuom ... and, alas, I nearly forgot to tell you to give the Man in the Dark another fill of that smokey-thing he uses to burn in his pipe ... huuoommmm .... not forgetting Nob to take part in this, please ... huom ... the cat, of course ... gruoomm ... you might even ask Mrs B to join our pleasant company then ... homm ...
........ why? .... ahem, well, celebration that is ... 2400th entry ... rhuoomm ... hasty I was with all that ... sorry ... houuuOooOMmmmmmmrhuom ... kloppediklopp ... <-- first smily I used as an Ent in all those years .... hooooommmmm ... cheers, mefriends .... hom!
and keep on, please ...

Huoouummm  ... the Man in the Dark reveiled some presence lately, which he usually does not ... huommm ... in here, you can neither see or hear him, though he's always present ... gruuoouuhuommm ... I only witnessed that there was no more smoke coming out of that woodely-thing he uses to burn some plants .... rhuoooommm .... some plants from the shire, I guess ... huoommm ... but I still wonder why that Man in the Dark thought that I did forget him ? ...

Wow, the White Council is gorgeous:



I had sort of conflated the idea in my head with the Council of Elrond, so I was expecting Erestor, Galdor and so on.

But this is beautiful. I love how Galadriel looks like she has a migraine coming on and would like Saruman to quieten down.

Also, I am going to be getting these new Dunlendings as Beorning warriors (throw in a couple of the "official" Beornings to give them a thematic continuity and give them all red or blonde hair). Later I'll collect them as actual Dunlending. Be surprising

The Man at his unquestionable best. Superb!

this diorama is simply  AMAZING!!!

The Man at his unquestionable best . . . as to quote Master Barli.

This vignette is surpasing all expectations . . .

W H A T   A    B R I L L I A N T    M A S T E R P I E C E  !

And I agree to David, the poses are sooo amazingly dynamic, wonderful. I can just hear the discussion.

What more can be said . . . amazing.
