Here those candles are, Master barkeep, up on this high shelf here. Of course, as you are shorty and, err . . . rotund, you could not see them, nor reach them even if you knew where they were. They will brighten up the place a little, but none for my corner please . . .

Now, I see my friend erchamion in the tap room; two drinks for us please!

Oh, Thanks! Master twrich.
If you want a truly dark place I recommend that one night you walk a little south of here. You’ll see some barrows where you will be treated kindly………………………….. ´forever`……………………..

Well, that would be a bad idea for me, unless of course Master Tom was with me.

Huoommm … Master Barliman, as for that Rohirrim about blowing that “Alphorn” I think there’s no need to use even a sliver of milliput … huom … just let him stand a few inches behind the spots on the base … huoommm … err, as for the base … what is it? … huom … I always thought that that horn was placed at one of the tower’s of Helm’s Deep, just to produce the effect it was meant for … rhuoomm … here’s the typical Mithril base to which some scattered stones and rubble are added, which rather more gives the imression that our hornblower is standing outside rather than inside a building … rhuoommm … but all in all no problem assembling that tiny figure … huom
Err, have you ever tried to assemble that entombed-balroggy-thing? … huomm … alas, that’s when you need some milliputty-or-green-stuffy-thing … huoomm … and a hell-of-a-lot-of-patience thing also … rhuuooommm … though I managed a second time today to assemble that lad … huomm … know, I lost them antlers of my first one …. huoommm … so, try it again, tree, I told myself (if you know what I mean) I was in need of another (complete) one for my collection … rhuoomm … all in all I have to state that those Mithril-miniature-things are better to assemble than those of some other companies … rhuoommmtidommm … huom

True, Master Tree. And I agree entirely regarding the texture of the Alpine fellow’s base…. It rather surprised me too. But I suppose we ciould conjecture that it’s sometimes taken out of the tower and used outside. Still, a paved-effect base would have been better.

Huoomm … Master Barliman, thank you for sharing my thoughts and supporting my criticism …
rhuuoommh°uom .. though I think that the word “ciould” in your last entry was meant to be read as “could” … huoommm … “heath” and “hearth”, you know … rhuoommm …

, Now taht you too have pointed out each uvvers tie-pin errors, The Entombed Balrog is now primed and ready to paint (and I have officially become a member of the B.H.W.C.) and what fun I had with those fiddly little horny things!!!

Managed to drop ’em at leat twice with (not so Super ) superglue applied, so strange how it sticks everything but what it is supposed to stick!!! Anyway, finally got them stuck to his head.

Re the Horn of Helm, I have simply discarded the base, made a small cast of the support thing although it would have been just as easy to have scratch built a replacement part, and with some luck may get some paint on him tonight.

Same with Guthlaf, hopefully a bit of paint will do him the world of good

Well blow me down, I’d clean forgotten about poor old Guthlaf! I can’t even remember what I’ve done with the blister at the moment (my workroom is currently a minor, no, a major disaster area). I shall have to track him down. He’s probably out looking for his horse.

Huoommm … I do understand the problem you had with those horns well, Master Ddaines … huom … but why I’m writing simply is beacause it’s my 3300th … rhuoommm

A voice from a dark corner says: “and I am at 330, one-tenth of you , Master Tree!’

By the by Barli, the candles look nice, and are a good distance away. Thank you.

And hello again, erchamion. I will offer you another drink . . . but please, no more talk of visiting a barrow . . . . “forever!”

The Balrogs Have Wings [Camp/Club] – I have never been 100% convinced/sure of which train of thought to support*, but to not attach the wings to this mini master would be the wrong choice, so I now support the idea of wings :rolleyes:.

*(to this seemingly unsolveable question – unless of course somewhere, buried deep amongst Professor T’s notes and writings the definative answer lays as yet undiscovered)

I’d be in the ICMUMMOWOTOBTPDHW…OMTD club. (‘I can’t make up my mind one way or the other, but they probably didn’t have wings…or maybe they did’.)
