Truly fascinating David !!!!!
Thus when I see pictures of all of these dioramas, I think it would be good to make a great Mithril exhibition show. Too bad we are too distant to each other.....
Alas, I think you are too right there Nino, the Web must be our exhibition for now 
.
I seem to remember Lars saying something along those lines in one of the emails he posted, but more chance of Sauron keeping his word than that happening I think, although in all fairness it is the distance issue given our spread around the globe

Re: The Swan Ship of Dol Amroth
This news pictures just confirm the excellent and huge work you have done... Love every single little detail on the ship.
May I suggest to add some sailors (just 2-3, not much)? Somebody has to take the sail tasks, even when they´re in battle
Maybe someday will see it in person

There is one sailor Master Elroi, and he is virtually unseen at the tiller of the ship - I think I used the Dunland tracker as this character. But you are quite right about a crew - I am probably going to see if a couple of the Corsairs can be utilised and some other figures may also be useable.
I still have to add some shields around the woodwork (you may have noticed some small holes in some panels), I found a really nice swan design, but messed up the application so it is back to the drawing board .
Anyhow, I hope the scene has inspired others to have a go at something similar - I now have the bottom half of the model which I am going to make into the Elven-ship carrying the Ring-bearers to the Undying Lands; that is going to involve some scratch-building

The Bree rendition is "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" (as rendered by Master Van Dyke in his infamously awful pseudo-Cockney accent).

What do you think Master Van Dyke drank before they filmed that scene? No one could murder an accent like that if they were stone-cold sober.
