Did you see the price for the Beregond/troll vignette? 66.50 (and 56.50 for  duplicates)

I don't know about you but for once I think the price is more than fair for such a big set of pieces!

It is correct price if you count vignette as the original and unique piece of art but not for the 205 grams of metal since the MB560 The white council has 500 grams of metal, also is unique piece of art but the price was 64,95....... !?!?!
..... but anyway love is love....

Thank you for the drink Gildor .

well you can't compare the weight and volume of metal of the table+base of MB560 with the complex base of MS574 can you?

indeed the base of the Council was heavier but the design... simplier too

anyway

Ladies, Gentlemen... I'd like to offer a drink to everybody and share some new work of art with you... but I am but a middleman here... Please Thingol could you make the announcement yourself? I let you provide the address too

A great work is about to be revealed to you all!

After the "vernissage"   I will include it officially on the Main site page but for the time being please, Thingol... You have an announcement to make I think

Ok Master Gildor... !!!!!

This was just one small idea that has long been smoldering in my head. I hope you will like.

This is a "catalog" or booklet with the most beautiful photographs from "grandma's garden"...

With included:

1. Numbering of figures with the name ( Mithril and Phaeton Design )
2. Name of the sculptor
3. Quotations from Tolkien's books and poems
4. Locations in the garden where tha photographs were taken

and I hope you will enjoy in this little trip through the garden in the middle of my earth

Here is the link...

Cheers

WOW, Thingol!!! WOW!!!!!

The cleverest parts are the grouping of figures that look as if they belong with each other, composing them in scenes that match their poses so exactly, concealing their bases, and taking the photographs from a 32mm-height perspective. Collectively that's what makes them look so real. At the moment I simply can't stop looking at them! (Note to self: get on with some work...)

Oh la vache !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nino, this is a total pleasure to have a look at your work that way. Any chance to obtain a PDF file at home ? Bravo et merci

. . .   - I will pay for it if it was a printed version. Nuff' said.

Concerning this matter, we should seriously make our mind up how to make it possible!
As I said: It is worth printing . . .

HUUUUOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM ... rhuomhûmhOOOoommm ... !!! ...
ahh, Master Thingol, you presented a real marvel ... in each and every respect it's absolutely amazing and stunning ... huom ...
so now we have another masterpiece presented ... rhuoomm ... thank you so very much for that ... I just can absolutely share Master Barlimman's comment ... huoommm ... and then, there are trees in the book as well ... simply wonderful, Master Thingol ... hooommtidomdarhôm ... kloppediklopp ...

This is a marvellous work of art Nino, presentation and composition look to be perfect and all the 'elements' seem to tie in just right.

Hi Barliman !

I woke up early this morning and went for a long walk througtout the hill around Bree. That was great pleasure but now I'm hungry and very thirsty.

Please, bring me a very big breakfast and some clear water for my thirst...with 2 pints of good ale of course.

kshink...

Second of all.... in next post...

About PDF I could send it to everyone who wants.... no problem it all. Resolution of those pictures in original are set so they could be printed as A3 format if somebody of you want it.

I could also send to all of you JPEG pictures separately in 3500 x 4500 resolution so you could print every picture in format you choose.... there are no obstacles    .... for me, this is my gift to our collectors love shared through our hobby.

This second solution is ever better.... !

I would not like to be pessmistic or bring bad mood but printing this work represents some risks



Considering that publishing such a work in paper would require ... publishing;    it would involve money indeed, if it is done by professionals they would never do it unless they get the guarantee the Content has no copyright issue... and I see Hundreds of copyright issue in this masterful works

the quotes are from JRRT and are forbidden to be reproduced. I think mithril would not be a problem about releasing pics of their figurines and since it is Thingol work I am certain he would agree too... but the problem is the big quotes of Tolkien texts... both LOTR and Hobbit covered by MEE  but also Silmarillion covered by Tolkien Estate and you are all well aware about how much Tolkien Estate can be  Lethal and fearsome to ANY who try to publish (even for free!!) anything bearing the writings of the author...

well sorry for being that pessmistic but that's the sad truth...
Having it in pdf is a good solution!  printing it on paper should remain the responsability of anyone with his own publication/edition methods... not a centralized creation of real books

I don't know what Thingol thinks about it but that's just my point of view

Actually...I never had any intention to print and distribute to the wide range of people...

My intention was to put it here and to be publicly available only to us, the members of this forum....

And... one printed booklet I will send to Chris Tubb... I think he deserves it but not yet I have plan to extend booklet with new pages till the second part of the year, and booklet on this link will be also updated... this is no final version... and it will not be final....

About copy-rights.... I could translate all quotes on Croatian... I'm not sure that anybody from ME or TE will try to translate on english those words.... and you guys... you could learn few words of croatian language... kidding !!!!

Huuoommm ... always hungry, our dear Master Milo, not only at this time of day, meseems ... huom ... if you don't mind I'd like to share a well-filled bowl of nice-clear-clean-non-sparkeling water ... huom ... ah, yes, I finished assembling that MS573 ... hom.. rhuom ... er, to be honest, my first thought about that figure was ... "alas, another Saruman, good grief" ... but ... well, I changed my mind .... rhuoomm ... that Crebain on his shoulder is absolutely fantastic, the pose, beak next to the ear, whispering, while his Master is listening to the other one on his right hand ... huuooommm ... such a tiny piece on the shoulder ... you have to be very careful, as it's connected twice with the sprew ... the claws are on the cloak ... excellent ... rhuoommm ... must  have been a nightmare for the very much skilled mould-maker ... perfect quality ... huoommrhuomm .... now I have to turn to that Mauhur villain ... hom ...
