huooommm ... Master Barliman, until two or three weeks ago I was completeley unaware of that longship ... rhuoommm ... it's a rarity by a company that once was called "Elastolin Hausser" ... huom ... I grew up with all those knights, Normans, etc. .... huoommhoom ... as far as I know that ship was never put into mass production .... huoomm ... maybe I can find a pic of that piece ... rhuoomm ...

Huoomm ... found them pics ... no, Master Thingol, it's not an Andrea-product ... let's see ...![]()

huoomm ... see some of the details have to be repainted, not to mention the proper arrangement of the whipping ... rhuoomm ... then maybe I need 32 oarsmen of the 'Laketown' release ... hooommm ... then see if the corsairs fit to the 40mm-size ... rhuoommm ... hard work indeed .... huom ... anyway I hope with this you understand what I was talking about ... homtidommm

Ah, the joys of being a parent, Master Thingol - all Mrs B and I have to worry about is the cat and Nob, which means (theoretically) that we get to spend all our money on ourselves. Which would be terrific if we ever had any. Ah, the joys of being a tax-payer.

I too grew up with Elastolin, Master Tree, but in my case Romans and Gauls (at least, I think they were Gauls, but Elastolin being a German company, I suspect now that they were supposed to be German tribesmen). Could never buy many, though, because of the serious money they cost.
But that's one very nice longship! I wonder how much it would have been if they'd sold it?
Offline
Huoommm ... who knows? ... they never did, as far as I know .... rhuoomm ... yes, quite costly they were in the days when they were available in shops ... alas, even a single figure was too much expensive for me .... huoommm ...
yes, those Romans and Gauls I have, too ... at least most of them ... huoomm ... and the siege-equipment ... huomm ... not to forget Frundsberg's Landsknechte and the artillery .... huoomm..
sorry now this is completely out of a Mithril-topic .... rhuoommm ....

Ho ho- what a amazing piece that is. Reminds me on the "Oseberg-ship" which I assembled when I was a teen.
Really beautiful, Master Tree.
Should it be better post at the art gallery-section . . . ? 
Thingol, this Roman ship from Andrea is really marvellous!

All you need to do to compensate is to buy everyone a drink - Nob, three dozen jugs of scrumpy!

Before we go back to the Tolkien one comment on this magnificent amazing viking longship.... Ouuuuhhh I like it... I like it so much... dear Master Ent is it possible to send me some pictures in high resolution on my e-mail... so I could enjoy in this beautiful model. Where is possible to find or buy this.... thanks for this pictures dear friend... after seeing this I will change my plans about painting figures. After "The white council" on workbench would be 3 viking warriors
I like this master Caster but others who did not facbook members cannot see this...

Master Ent, I don't know if you can buy only the crew, but they look like what you need (however Old Glory miniatures are far from Mithil's regarding quality).

Very far indeed...

Are there any other Facebook members who have not checked out our Fans of Mithril Miniatures page yet?

Huoommm ... I'm not very much used to that facebooky-thing ... huom ... though I've heard of it ... rhuoomm ... is it a book with a face, or rather a face in a book ? ... huoommm ... ?
Offline
Master Barliman, I need a break. After all that painting-accross-Christmas.
Still no idea what to do with that round base of that Council. Maybe one of your special very strong drink can give my imagination a strong shove forward . . .
(PS: "shove it" is the title of the first solo album of that Queen-drummer, err- what was his name . . . ? )

I agree, Master Tree . . . about facebook. I know that they provide some of your personal information to the companies that pay them for advertising and other services. I deleted my account (they tried to get me to just deactivate it, but that still allows facebook to monitor your account activity, even if you don't . . . such as friends who comment on your account, or leave pictures of you drinking scrumpy).
We need to keep as much of our privacy as possible . . . choosing what we share with others, not being spied on by corporations.

Huoommm ... that's what I always suspected, Master Twrich ... rhuoommm ... and maybe that's why it takes a long time for trees to trust in some newborne-things as those "facy-bookies" you mentioned ... huoommm ... might also mean "face-my-bookies-via-cookies" .... rhuomm ... but I'm not sure ... rhuoommm ... anyway, it won't hurt me nor my bark ... rhuoommmm ... and being spied on without letting me know - but that is what spies do, isn't it? - is something I really dislike very much .... huoomm ... just remember that M118 ... huoomm ... no, I wasn't referring to Bill Ferny .... huomm ...

I don't use Twaddle, Witter or any of these other intrusive computer sites either. I have too much to do every day without that sort of thing. I know some of my regulars have accounts, and seemingly enjoy being involved, but it's not for me. I don't even have ome of those mobile phone thingies (I'm probably the last person on the planet without one).
Offline
Huoommm ... so you have other things to do than care about those twaddle-witter-things ? ...
right, you are ... huoommm ... though ... err ... I'm not talking about your skills and profession, so to say ... huommmm ... but ... could you please find the time to fill my empty bowl with that ...you know what ... huoommm .... (I just cut it short)(sic.!)
yes, I can pay for that, of course ... ahem, what about a word to swap ... hmmm ... let's say "one" insted of "ome" ... rhuoommm ... and then ... err ... yes ... what? ... ahhh, a good roumour you have been waiting for, right? .... huoommm ...
fill bowl, please, busy Barliman Butterbur, then there's rumour .... huoommm
Offline
huoommm ... forgot to mention that today I received those two Lords of Khand ... huoommm ... absolutely ... err ... as they are ... wonderful ... Overlords of the Variags ... brilliant scupting and a Christmas figure in perfection with all those details ... excellent ... huom ... as for Master Gildor I would like to add that that piece consists of two pieces .... rhuoommm ... in case he does want to add this in his famous 'database' ... huooommm ... the "antique finish" is darker, and that's why I think it's better ... huooommm .....hooommm?
Offline
mhh so you mean the xmas 2010 is not a single piece... but is it the case for BOTH version? (the antique finished is assembled but still two pieces or casted as one piece) I have never seen a "multi-part" xmas figurine before
Besides I still havent received my package
but well I ordered many old PA figurines at the same time...
Offline
I can tell you, Master Gildor, about the "bare" figure.
I am a painter and not a collector so I have ordered the bare figure- for painting.
(I have learned, that mentioning different things more than often is very important . . .)
The sword is the second part. The figure and the base is a single piece.
PS: thank you Mister barkeep for offering me that drink . . . better to leave the Pony . . .

You're always welcome, Master Archer. You can have a free one next time you're in (I'm feeling generous because New Year is approcahing and I need to write off a few tax losses).
Offline
Huooommm ... so you feel generous, Master Barliman ... well why not let me have another bowl-of that honey-coloured-clear-clean-non-sparkeling-devine-liquid-you-sometimes-use-to-serve-for-poor-trees --- ? rhuoomm ... taxes, that was I wanted to pay last year .... huom, alas ... my memory is like your lumber-room, meseems ... huom
