A mess? Mrs B would think that your corner is the tidiest area in the house compared to the mess I’ve accumulated in my painting den!

Because you do not see on this picture the whole room with my stock of figurines collected during 30 years …

You should put pictures of your whole collection into your gallery…

Actually, the word “after” isn’t commonly associated with Bree Scrumpy. There usually isn’t an “after” – at least, not immediately. The next “after” is on average about two days later. Re-learning to focus your eyes can take considerably longer.

I will try Master Gardener if enough time. During holidays without evening cursus, I plan to paint an hour by day.
Even if my paint corner is a mess

This must be really great feeling to have dedicated workbench surrounded by mithrils and CT’s other treasures (like Grenadier which I see boxes on the top).

My mithrils are in the garage…Not the kind of place you would paint for sure in winter
This is why I paint in the living room, when kids & light allow me to have time and good conditions

True my dear barli, I read everything about melting t° and other stuff. I wonder if your scrumpy could help to solve definitly this issue.

Thanks for the well organised mention even if it’s not my girl-friend opinion 😆

Time, Matser tree, time and desire sometime :rolleyes:.

Beside Mithril is not my only figurine collection and I paint other sculptors as Tom Meier or patrick masson

Mithril online survey:

An interesting question asked (I assume you have all receieved the survey) about re-releasing the early ranges – re-tooling M16?

Owners of this who have paid a lot of money to acquire one might be getting a little nervous if this were to happen

The only reason for anyone to be concerned by it is if they consider their Mithrils to be a financial asset. I always have, and always will, look upon Mithril “collecting” as a hobby. I’ve never bought Mithrils with a view to making a profit by selling them on at a later date. Consequently seeing the earlier ones available again doesn’t worry me at all – indeed, I’d be delighted to see so many fine figures become available again. Not wanting them to be re-realeased, and thereby depriving people of the chance to own them, seems a tad selfish!

I agree there Barli, I buy (with the (forlorn) intention) to paint and create scenes, not as an investment opportunity, even those figures gifted to me are for the brush one day . I ticked the ‘Yes’ button by the way .

I don’t have M16 to sell or paint, nor would I pay the collectors prices they go for, the reason for the post comment is that there is a similar develpoment regarding a Japanese resin ‘Garage kit’ producer whose OOP figures on the secondary market go for silly money, and they are apparently reissuing some of their work much to the horror of those who have A. stashed them away as investments, and B. those who may have paid in excess of $1-2,0000 for some of the rarer kits.

The expression “more money than sense” springs readily to mind.

If they reproduce those early miniatures, they will probably make a small change to tell them apart from the original. If they do that then the collectors prices should be safe.
There are some that I would like to see back in production, but I might rather see the work going into making new releases.

If they reproduce them with slight changes, such as the copyright and reference below the base that would do no harm for collectors. but reproducing them strictly the same is a mistake as it breaks completly the “collector” purpose of mithril.
that’s why I answered “yes to some of them”…. the exemple of the M16 comes to mind… Beside it’s collector value… this figurine in itself is “common” and has no special thing about herself it could easily be replaced by another “common” figurines IF you are not a collector. But when it comes to Radagast on foot, to some of Tharbad, or Angmar or Mirkwood figurines, these are unique and are not reproduced anywhere else and should benefit a remake.

Huoommm … I cannot understand what all this is about … huom … and to be honest, I’m more and more less interested in such matters … rhuoommm … as long as that small company is not able to pack and deliver ordered goods within appropriate time (I ordered the new vignette immediately after it was announced to be released – but still have not received it yet) I think they won’t be able to cope with more than one release per month … grûoomm … that simply is annoying … rhuoooommmm …
as for a possible re-release of the below 100 M-series I have to say that it really doesn’t matter to me …. rhuom … I still regard collecting Mithril-miniatures as my hobby and never had any financial interest about that back in my mind … huomrhuom … as some of you might guess … huom ….
er, sorry … rhuom … I just witnessed that Master Shadyt is right from my point of view …. huoommm … why not better make new releases (even series) instead of re-producing those old ones? …. huomm … what about the 3rd “Helm’s Deep” series? … what about the “Easterling” series? … alas, there’s quite a lot one could do to improve the M-series instead of dusting old moulds …. rhuommm … so that’s it …
Master Barliman, may I now have a bowl of that delicious-watery-honey-coloured-non-sparkeling liquid, please?
