Many Mithril Pages @ Faerylands

Huoommm .... I just witnessed that our dear Master Milo was successful in sharing another batch of figures he bought ... huoomm ... respect ... huom ... a gallon, you mean, Master Milo? ... Galion, as far as I know, was the Elven King's butler (M66)
.... a single gallon of liquid  doesn't last long in the Pony, does it? ... rhuuoommm .... er, doesn't want  to confuse ... gruoooomm ...hom? .... anyway, cheers .... hoooom ... cheers ...huomm ... I would rather stick to them clear-clean-watery-liquids ... huoommm ....

OK, a gallon will do the job.

Hello everybody
Master Barliman, please, I offer a  drink to everyones who will come and see you to celebrate my return after a difficult time. I lost my husband's mother, who was only 60 years old, after only 3 months of disease.
I didn't really have time to read your last messages and I apologize for it. But, I'm happy to be back among you.
By searching my papers, I found an old Prine august catalog of 1990 in very good state, with beautiful photos on CH figurines (I suppose that you know it all, but I put you some photos)
   

Master Caster ? did I hear you ?

I'm sorry for this sad act of life Sevlag.... My condolences to your husband... but road goes ever on... and on.. and on...

Cheers Milo

Condolences to your husband Mistress Sevlag, I hope that the pain of his loss will diminish with time, but not the memories.

David

Late I am as always
I send you all my condolences too mistress Sevlag I would say the same thing that David said before me , I hope time will diminish pain to leave only good memories to be remembered ... And I am also indeed glad to see you among us again!

Thank you very much for your kind words gentlemen, it warms the heart.
Don't worry, Master "BarmanTree" , I left you some coins to offer some drinks to our friends who would pass here. Please, You can offer a double portion to Milo for his incredible auction and for his 3rd winning suggestion in GF votes.
Cheers everyone
And now, I'm going to return to my dioramas (I change the plan of my tavern : now Master Twrich have a dark corner - I'm going to put photos of the new plan soon - and the second project is the death of Boromir - some photos soon too )

Huooôm-tidu-ti-dumm-ah-humpti-dumpty-toy-yeah ... laaaazy Sundi-afternooon .... er .... sorry ... what I want to say is that again I'm some troubely-things ... so maybe some humans around here can help to improve my so-called wisdom, which in fact is none ... groooum ... I received that standard-whirling-Halbarad-figure .... huom ... there's my problem with words of your languages ... hom ... so standard that is? ... but doesn't Lady Arwen hold a banner in the pose of the LR40-figure ? ... as for the size of the embroidered cloth it rather seems to be more a banner than a standard ... huomm ... then a standard usually is of a different shape than a pennant, right? ... huoomm ... more rectangular, I think ... gruûom ... and as for a pennant that standard is too large, isn't it .... hoommm ... so there's the word "standard-bearer" as we all know ... though with this Halbarad-figure it should be a "banner-bearer" ( I still like them  alliterations by the way) ...  huoommmmm ... see ... er ... read the description of the banner ... symbols, signs ... that should be depicted on that piece of cloth ... how to cope with that? ... huom ... a white tree (sic), some seven stars and a kingly crown, you know ... but how to paint that accordingly on an XL-pennant ? ... then there's our dear mounted Halbarad holding the unfurled banner, which seems to have more volume than an oversized pennant ... gruom ... no, definitely NO, there is no other Arwen-figure working on that banner ... but in case there was, that banner also would seem to be larger, right? ... hooooooommm ... please, don't get me wrong, as I think that the new Halbarad-figure is very nice, dynamic and excellent concerning the details ... hoomm ... just the standard causes me troubles .... huommm .... now you're about to be in need of a drink, after you've read all these weird thoughts ... right? ... today it's for free and I'll scratch some marks on my bartab which Master Barliman still secretly keeps hidden over there ... cheers .... rhuoûoomm-ti-dommm

I think your observation is 'bang on the money' Master Tree. I think it should come down the shaft to just above his hand and proportionatly further out to be classed as a banner and to match that which Arwen is holding.

An odd oversight to make methinks

huoommm ... it's not me (that tree) wanting to citicize anything .... huomm ... I just was keen on some answers ... hom ...
er ... Master Ddaines, why not lengthen the staff to the ground until it meets Halbard's right boot on the inside ... huom ... which means he could hold and sway a banner of an appropriate size (in terms of physics) ... Huûooommm ... I just was bored this afternoon, then it's when I take some figures from my cabinets and try to think ... hoommm ... er ... by the by ... does anyone around here know why Caliban is collecting firewood ... huomm ... alas, thank you for reading anyway ... houommm ...

I totally agree it is no banner, only a flag.
As I even do not like the helmet, I feel this one is not Halbarad but more a Captain showing his company's colors.
Then your suggestion of having staff to the ground and real banner makes sense. This could be the new Halbarad.
