MB560 Contest !

… it would not be very difficult to follow these instructions :rolleyes:

You could always add columns or anything else later.

Ok, gonna to try finish in time…if I received it soon enough…

Box ordered today – should’ve spent the money elsewhere, but what the hell!!!

p.s. does it say anywhere where the White Council was held?

Ha, Ha, Master Turambar , I shall search just to see if the answers found can be expanded on.

I will keep my fingers crossed that the flying thingies will be flying to all parts of the globe where the PPC dwell;) There seems some good support for the idea so far.

I ahve to say, that I have received the “Blue Box” !
Because it is my first “Blue Box” ( no, I haven´t ordered the UP . . .) I am full with overflowting positiv expressions.
This box design is absolutely stunning! In marketing ways absolutely perfect. Good choice, mithril !
Concerning what´s inside: …… no words.

I also received the “White Council”-vignette yesterday. The blue box is the same as with the MX-UP. Very nice indeed. As I already mentioned over in the Pony this vignette is a real challenge for painters. Wonderful !
But what do you all think about the material of the floor and the table? I wonder. Obviously the floor has to be a kind of stone-floor, maybe even marble, as someone else suggested. Nice idea. But what about the table? I think it could be made of the same material, but a wooden table could also be possible. But does that match? Though also the chairs are wooden, aren’t they?Unfortunately we don’t know what material(s) The Man was thinking of.
I’m interested in your thoughts about this matter.

I am still waiting for the vignette…. not received yet

as for floor and table I think they should be seen as a whole, as if the table was sculpted as an extension of the floor… I can’t imagine it anything but Marble…

now marble is not necessarily white… it could be black gold striken, white light blue striken, red, white striken… (some porphiric design)

As I often imagined (but that concerns me alone) that the White Council may have taken place in Orthanc… (since it was supposed to be somewhat “ruled” by Saruman when he was still sane… I’d go for Black marble…. but that’s my own idea though I think I will make it black and gold striken (which is quite a challenge!) Beside, as this White Council was about dire news, having it in dark, to reflect the events may be a good way to render the mood of this council… and black marble with gold is very noble and subtile…

(the fact it is black has nothing to do with PJ movie, Orthanc is fully made of Black stone it is a fact)

well that was my two cents about it…
