Ahem . . . gentlemen, I am a little bit confused. On the other hand it shows exactly the point of "desaster" . . .

The second figure is of course NOT the prototype, it is simply M526 .

And I am certainly NOT happy with the result, because it is simply another repeat.
And exactly that was to be meant for hinder, wasn´t it?!

So I had missed this post and it explains a lot.... Sorry to have missed that. Still so I took you original post not a hinder but as A FACT,  you provided the pic yourself and I thought it was a TRUE one, now if you say it is a hoax, I have no idea what the original looked like oO ... From Milo, Ddaines and myself though, it seems the new version looked better than the fake original you provided which was after all M526... in what way would this Forlong not be unique but a repeat then, to what figurine could you link it ?

So you blame the messenger while everybody here was in agreement to post and synthetize those feedbacks... feedbacks that were made mostly from MMP members I did not say anything myself. I am completly at a loss here I'd like to understand...

Re: THE TAPROOM 3

What?
You feel that I critizised you, Gildor? Why? Why should I? What did I say? Where is something written like this????
If I read my latest post I come to the conclusion, that there is only ONE person that was critizised: the "sculptur". Nobody else!

Concerning the "information-point". That is generally a "problem" in my eyes. It is NO information when you say: I know something but I can not tell it.
So to say A Zero-Information. That is not that essential to be angry with me, Master Elf.

We- especially YOU- have/has create that poll in the past concerning NT-Range. To give ABSOLUTELY NO information at all concerning that really makes me angry.
And that shows the missing interest of "the sculptor". That´s all. And that is really a pity.

I still do not know why nobody did recognize this M526 figure.

Anyway- I suggest you also to come down and we should ask Master Barli for serving us one of his famous drinks . . .

Re: THE TAPROOM 3

well then there was clearly a misunderstanding and quiproquo...  as you see I am not the only one here not to have recognized the M526 and the tone in your post seemed genuine so I did not check further I really thought you were happy and were showing the difference... well nevermind.

As for NT range, I understand your frustation but alas , I have gone above the status of being infuriated or upset, I am "accepting" as there is nothing that can be done... Trust me I ask, several times I asked and said we were waiting for its release but without success... the poll did nothing, even with its result, what should I do...

Now it comes to a point there is nothing more that can be said here,  and I deeply agree with you, we should get one of those Barli's famous drinks and have a good evening smile

Re: THE TAPROOM 3

Changing the topic if I may,I've begun a serie of articles about Middle-earth miniatures suitable for role-playing as true to the books as possible.

First one is out in Other Minds magazine. Here you are in case you are interested:

Re: THE TAPROOM 3

. . .change topic reverse . . .
Well- Master Gildor, everything is clear now. Speaking with the "other" language could lead to misunderstanding often . . .
I would like to add- again- my not-undertanding of absolutely NO information concerning NT by "the sculptor"..
There was none before AND after the poll. I can remember that 100% members long for more pictures. Posting pictures included making them take seven minutes.
( I stopped the time posting the Ent-Picture above . . . ) What position shoud be transported with that behaviour?

But it seems, that I am the only one realising this . . .

Re: THE TAPROOM 3

Well Gentlemen, Master Elf and Master Archer--I am glad that I did not read these exchanges until after you had a drink together at the Pony. I was confused reading each one (here in my corner with an ale and a pipe), and I didn't follow the prior conversation well either. Then when you shared that drink, showing good sense, I think I overheard a respect for each position. Let me buy you both another.

Barli, is Southfarthing legal tender in Bree?

Arthadan, that is great!

You should post this link to the "Playgrounds of Erebor" section.

Re: THE TAPROOM 3

Hi Master Barliman,
Do not worry, it's the usual loudness while 2 elves are having arguments & keep sharing drinks.
I'm glad these are not dwarves though.lol
By the way, they must be hungry. Please bring them some of Mrs Barliman delicious scones on my account.
Hem... don't forget to tell me how much Ie owe you this month while you bring me a good breakfast.

What? That many? I trust you and I need to find more coins in my attics!

Re: THE TAPROOM 3

Sometimes it must be remembered that we all have our own language and uses. And while "Oestron-English" seems to be the general medium for our communications we all have our own mother-tongue languages, and some shifts or phrases of our own languages translated into another ones may sound rude, impolite or harsh to others.

I could had been worse. If those implied were trolls! Prancing pony would had became a ruined place. rollroll

I am bringing some ounces of St. Geroge's bread* to the Poney to celebrate its coming and will share it with you all.

A large glass of anything strong please.
Just to forget the preview picture of Steward Thorondir – Exactly the opposite of what I expected and sent to Chris, young proud, tall and sitting up straight on his throne.

Re: THE TAPROOM 3

Nicely sculpted as one would expect, but he makes me think more of an ageing Denethor than a young and vital Thorondir.

Re: THE TAPROOM 3

Mine host, would you be kind enough to put on a couple of belated barrels whenever you are next in the bar as I would like all patrons have a drink on me to celebrate my eldest daughter giving birth to a daughter yesterday, 28th April.

It does make you feel a bit older with the official title of being a grandparent!!! big_smile.

I'll settle up with you later Barli (honest) wink
