Many Mithril Pages @ Faerylands

I hope Master Archer doesn't spend too much time looking skywards as he is very near to a place where an English king (supposedly) looked up at the wrong time!

Apparently the Master Archer and I share a birthday. :p

huoommm ... so I wish a (late) Happy Birthday to you , too, Master Gavin ....

Bon anniversaire Gavin, Have a drink on my account please. Cheers !

Why thank you!

Happy belated birthday Gavin.

I can also report that Master Archer and his good lady are enjoying their time in 1066 Country - had a pleasant day with them yesterday and discovered that Master Chris is also a talent behind the stove .

I would loved to have helped them polish off more Pimms and Gin & tonic, but had to get back to London.

The cucumber was ALMOST forgotten, but made it into the glasses in time .

Very good news that MMP fellows had a nice meeting.
May I ask if you have any pictures to show us in Real Life section?

Hi Masters, I will join for a bowl of water, without breakfast.

About new release, I posted on GF forum my thoughts to Michael. He seems to say CT is not active enough...It worries me. Any news on this side ?

About MMP, Master orc & Maenas have initiated a mithril painting league (Read the art gallery). I suggest you join us, for fun & friendship of course:D.

Fine by me. The league is a nice idea, though I doubt I shall participate. I'm not a diorama or single-figure painter, and I never (or at least, have never yet) put my painted figures up for general perusal. For one thing I'm not especially good! For another, I paint figures purely for my own enjoyment.

Don't get me wrong - I do a lot of painting, but I'm happy with my figures as being perfectly acceptable for my own purposes. Doubtless I could improve, if I had the time. I'm sure we all could, if real life didn't constantly interfere! But the other issue is that actually I don't paint many Mithrils - of the 5,000 or so LOTR figures I've painted, only about 300 are Mithrils (mostly Isengard half-orcs, orcs, and sundry officers and "characters").

My (incomplete) Mithril collection remains largely unpainted. The majority of my painted figures come from about two dozen assorted companies. Right now, in fact, I'm not painting any Mithrils at all, but mostly old Mark Coplestone half-orcs, Harlequin Easterlings, Foundry Vikings (used as Woodmen) and unarmoured Late Romans by various manufactures that I'm using as Gondorian provincial troops.
