Many Mithril Pages @ Faerylands

So I can leave them unpainted for now I guess....

I think they have adapted these last three references, that's because they have been renamed back to regular "MS" not MZ" so I think they are somewhat a bridge in between regular MS and the future MZ.
All of these I say without having the refrences in hand, just for what they published on prince august and newsletters....
Which is the reference that came finally inscribed in their bases dear Master ent?

Let's hope it isn't an admission that the old M series is over for ever....

huoomm ... you forgot about LO, MX and LT, Master Thingol, but right you are ... rhuôm ... it's just the number ... though one is double ... huoomm ... anyway ... cheers

Ah, I was wondering where you were, Master Milo. I can certainly get you a diner, but eating a whole one would be very tiring, so I'll get you a dinner instead. Plus a pint of my speial scrumpy, of course (the one without any rat tails in it).

I did not, and I think that's fine ... hm ... so many words of praise have been spilled because of the newly adapted technological improvement of sculpting figures ... rhuoom ... allowing to sculpt more precisely and giving the chance of reveiling even more details, etc. etc. pp. .... huom ....
alas, to be honest, I received three very nice and detailed figures that fit well into the Mithril ranges .... rhûom ... though, of course, there's always some criticism I have, but that is about a different matter ... huoooommmm ...

I received my minis 3 days ago. I agree I do not see many casting difference compared to previous releases
Final result seems to be standard, plus more little details on clothes and faces, still details are not very easy to notice.
Now I wonder also if primer thickness could be responsible for the "low details" aspect.
I know master maenas removes primer for painting.
It may be usefull for these 3 to have a try and provide thinner primer.

I received them and looked closely on the Easterling Champion... the texture of the mail and the belt is definitly more detailed and there is something more "straight" or artificial in it  (the repetition of mail rings or the belt motif) which indicates it is not made by hand

It is very very small detail, and only in texture but the overall aspect remains the same... Which actually is great I was afraid it would LOOSE quality, not gain....  the gain is mainly in the production process and the logistics behind it... No more masters no more need to send packages between Chris (in England) and Mithril (in Ireland)  you can reproduce masters whenever you want...
That's a great behind the scene improvment which drastically reduces the cost in the end, without loosing quality in the final result

it won't at first because they have to make a return on investment and thus they won't reduce the price even if it costs less  to produce... but after some time it could make the figurines less expensive... because it provides control over batches of production and stock management

I guess I could use one too!

It goes on me Master Barliman!

Dessicated, in fact. Since you're paying, I'll have a gallon of scrumpy.

That's my sort of contest.
