      Thank you Master Thingol for sharing with us !

      Mithril Maniac Trophy + Mithril Convention, with the incredible collection of Christophe + Chris Tubb at ODO 2022, wouldn’t that be fabulous ?

        Hello Mithril Nautes!

        Gerold offers us some splendid projects with these warbands. An idea came to me, maybe already mentioned by yourself on MMP ?
        The creation of a chess game with the Mithril range !

        There are so many possible combinations ! I await your proposals, pawns, riders, queens, kings … surprise me, make me dream and I commit to painting a piece of the most astonishing set where, even better, we can all together constitute a virtual set composed of photos of the figurines already painted ?
        What do you think ?

        If you want to join me on Chess.com, ask for Aptek1990. Right now I’m playing and losing.

              46 pieces, for 690€ that makes 15€ each figure considering some are quite rare, well I suppose it is fair… smile

                Here is my first draft, with characters only chosen from the “Lord of the Rings” who will represent the white camps.
                Will come later, that of the blacks, The Mordor…
                M 298 King Elessar and Queen Arwen (of course).
                For the madmen, Gandalf M 52 and Radagast M 84.
                There are several versions of Gandalf but this one remains my favorite. This is the first outing, the one that indelibly permeated my retinas.
                The riders, those of Rohan, M260, King Théoden and M 262 Eomer.
                The towers, an eagle and an ent and not just any ! Meneldor (M 304) and Fangorn (M185).
                For the pawns, I did not wish to expose the Hobbits and the rest of The Company, so I threw my evolutions on soldiers.
                Gondorians, Rohirims, Elves. Lancers, archers, swordsmen.
                Here they are: M7; M 14; M 68; M 197; M 213 ; M 214 ; M 263 and M 386.
                Now that I’m ready, I can hire ! E2-E4!
                It’s up to you, gentlemen ! wink

                  Good choice

                    I feel an elf Lord is missing in the strong ones. Lady Galadriel M1 instead of Radagast who is more the Hobbit related?
                    What about Tom Bombadil?😇

                      Difficult choice for Tom Bombadil, I thought about it of course. For Galadriel M1, I assume. I plan to use it for another chessboard.

                        With DeepL Traduction :
                        Cornelian choice for Tom Bombadil, I thought about it of course. For Galadriel M 1, I assume. I plan to use it for another chessboard.
                        Better traduction.

                          Hello Mithril Nautes,
                          I would like to share my enthusiasm with you here.
                          I discovered on Mithril.ie the work of a painter who calls himself Celebrimbor_forge. A nice slap in the face smile
                          Just like what Elroy has done, we can see some magnificent saynètes and dioramas. It seems to me that the author is French, which gives me hope that I might be able to admire his work at the ODO 2022, at the TMM !
                          I wish you a nice day.

                            I’m following him on Instagram, he is lately doing some great dioramas, I think he is working now on what seems a Fangorn scene… or maybe a black forest one… so good!
                            Seeing his works “on hand” would be great… must say that here we already have some other great painters/diorama makers too, seeing some of their work “on hand” would be awesome too!

                            An idea:
                            Proposing a reference to paint and then each of us could paint it for the ODO. No winnners needed, just having the same reference painted in all our styles and personalities, one alongside the other.

                              An event like the ODO is made for that. Indeed, what a pleasure it would be to be able to admire these dioramas as well as those of Elroy and so many others outside the computer screen! If we add a Mithril convention, maybe we can gather even more Mithril miniature painters.

                              Maneas “An idea:

                              Yes, this is a very good idea. It is practiced in many painting clubs. This way we can really admire the respective painting techniques and without our eyes being deceived by the hypnotic power of a crazy decor.
                              But then, which figurine ? There is no lack of choice…

                                  Quelle coincidence!!! Vous decouvriez mes photos le même jour où, chez ma mère, je retombais sur notre correspondance datant de 1994/1995. Incroyable ! Je parcours ce sujet depuis une vingtaine de minutes et je ressens, à chacune de vos photos, la même joie que lorsque je passais des heures devant la planche couleur de Mithril Maniac. Dans une de vos lettres vous me disiez que nous finirions bien par nous rencontrer un jour, qui aurait pu penser qu’il aura fallu attendre pour cela près de 28 années !
