Re: The Taproom

Re: The Taproom

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.

Re: The Taproom

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?

Re: The Taproom

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 ....

Re: The Taproom

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 . . . ? roll


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!

Re: The Taproom

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).

Re: The Taproom

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 . . . ? )

Re: The Taproom

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.

Re: The Taproom

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 ...

Re: The Taproom

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).

Re: The Taproom

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?

Re: The Taproom

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 sad sad but well I ordered many old PA figurines at the same time...

Re: The Taproom

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).
