Many Mithril Pages @ Faerylands

A very warm welcome to our lates member number 57  Gavin Doran!
Welcome Master Gavin D. I'll have a scrumpy please!

The drinks are on Master Doran (because I know none of the rest of you are ever likely to pay for a round).

Your faithful Ranger has just joined the elite Gold Fellowship!  (I couldn't resist since I will be getting my "Aragorn with Palantir" figure!).

Is there a secret handshake or password? 

Congrats to Master Estel for his winning Haldir. At last a great elven charecter has won. That pleases me!
Can´t wait to see the result. I hope it won´t be Lars who will realize the exchangable parts . . .

Nice to hear that we would have one more elf on our collections.... Haldir is right choice for any elvish diorama
If I could imagine his character in my mind it would be like glorious warrior with a long bow and shining armor... anyway

One beer for all for choosing the Haldir !!!!!

Huuoommmrhuomm ... it seems to be that I'm back here right in time to enjoy some free drinks .... rhuoommm ... ah, well, I did vote for Haldir ... hom
Welcome Master OriginalAragorn among us GFM ... rhuommm ... Master Barliman was right ... there's no secret password except the one he referred to .... rhuoomm ... that round, I mean ...
huoommm ... and I think he was right with his assumption about the 'extra parts' of Haldir concerning mould-making and metal costs ... rhuoommmhom ... he knows a lot about metal and coiny things, our barkeep, you know .... huom

Hicks,

thanks for the drinks!! Master Barlimaaaan, your stuff ...eeehrm.... ale is fine!

To be fair: Haldir was once and first suggested by Wendy [It is like I have thrown in the idea of Hirgon, errand rider of Gondor bearing the red arrow]. I just took the chance as I miss deeply the characters Haldir, rumil and Orophin to get one of the great Elven characters. I hope, that Chris will get the spirit of the old Mirkwood and Lorien M-series. Mithril was the one and only company, that managed to match my imagination of the Elves in the way like Tolkien described them in LotR. The last Cirdan figure was not that great, like Elves should be- Chris is much better in sculpting as you can see having a look at Celebrian or the new MX-figures.
So I am looking forward, what Chris will do!

Yes, one beer! And another one for Master Estel!
Maybe a strong drink could help you . . . you will know what I mean after having a look here:

It was interesting to see this diorama - it was originally to have been released as part of the Sideshow range (maybe a slightly different version) but this was shelved as the Argonath figures were used as the gift in the special boxed set of the film.

It was made for Sideshow as I remember seeing it in a Forbidden Planet store in London. I wonder who 'kept' the samples?

I suspect that the black firewood may have been a teensy-weensy bit more expensive too!

Well, who cares who suggested Haldir first....

Thats the reason why I include both the successfull and the original suggestor in my list of fellowship minis - both should get some recommendation.

BTW: I will include the last month soon. With two weeks of free time ahead of me I can reduce my backlog of projects a bit.

MMhh on a very other matter... sorry to intervene... but , about the MW346 dwarves, for those who bought them.. were they primed or unprimed?  Thanks for your answers..

Huuoooommmm ... all unprimed ... huom ... I think The Man announced that before ...

Unprimed....
Did not you say that your set came later? So Chris had to send another who was primed .....   
I believe that all were sold on eBay are unprimed...
