….. OPEN UP AGAIN HERE …

In fact, I shall broach a new barrel scrumpy just to celebrate before the rugs arrive. I may even get to sink a pint myself for a change!

Something not-scrumpy please

Oh and I have some new Mithrils to show off in the gallery later, soon as I clean everything else up

Oh yes, I’m no unhasty Ent. Do you like the new chontz curtains, by the way? I’m hoping that Master Tree will get here soon with the wargskin rugs. I can hear them scrabbling round the building somewhere, so he must be on his way.

Do you want to move old or buy new furniture 😆

Most of the stuff in the Pony is only nailed together using bits of broken swords (courtesy of the Battle of Bywater Archaeology Association), but it serves its purpose. So we’ll make do with what we have. If you’re offering to bring some stools from the old Taproom you’re free to do so – otherwise you’ll be sitting on the floor….

Finished painting my Gandalf and Gwaihir last night, by the way (I left Nob to start the move). Very nice little vignette that – it may be my favourite MS figure thus far.

I’m sooo tired…. I need more holidays for rest of these holidays: 2 weedings (with its 2 bachelor’s party), 1 week in a house in the forest with my best friends, and still waiting to go with my girlfriend a week on route for the north of Spain. I’m becoming too old for this

Please, Maese Barliman – One big pitch of ale for me, I’m thirsty!

Ahhh Master Barkeep, very nice indeed; the old tap-room was getting so crowded, I could hardly find a dark corner. Don’t mind me, I’ll just take a mug of ale and settle in over there, where it is dark.

The corners will all be dark until I can find wherever Nob’s put the candles. In the meantime try not to stand on the cat.

I can give you an ale, but not a picture – I don’t have a working picture-taking thingamajig at the moment.

Painting the eagle itself was easy – the feather texture is so well executed in the modelling and casting that dry-brushing does most of the work for you, once you’ve decided what colours you want to use. I based my eagle loosely on JRRT’s picture in ‘The Hobbit’ – presumably based in turn on a Golden Eagle (brown body, reddish brown head, yellowish legs and whitish beak). The main problem I had was deciding how to depict Gandalf – do you make him Gandalf the Grey or Gandalf the White? Anyway, I opted for Gandalf the White in the end, as at the Black Gates, but with a grubby grey cloak.

Ah, you have your twiggy fingers caught in the keyboard again I see – at least, I hope you meant to type hearth, otherwise the Bree fire brigade will be round to have a word with you.

Still haven’t got the candles – Nob says it’s too dark to find them. He has a point. Can’t the Ranger rub some sticks together or something equally outdoor-ish?

Huoommmm … of course “hearth” that should have been, Master Barliman, sorry … huoommrhuomm … but once again this is a proof what haste can do … huom …

It’s proof of what twiggy fingers can do!

Glad to say my latest Mithril order has turned up today. The Horn of Helm is a nice figure, though it doesn’t fit together with quite the precision I’ve come to expect from Mithril – if you place the Rohirrim guy on the spot where he’s supposed to stand the curve of the horn doesn’t sit accurately in its trough once the arm-pegs are inserted into their holes in his shoulders. Happily a sliver of milliput should solve the problem.
