HA !!!!!!

Exactly yesterday I HAVE TO recognize, that my re-build Rohan diorama shows AGAIN ( 😡 😡 :mad:) the same problematic concerning legs!
Though I left the sprues on the legs it do happen AGAIN !!!!! M30 and M4.
I try to bend it back- VERY VERY carefully indeed- of course and it broke.

Maybe I should throw it out of the window . . . 😡 😡 😡

huoommm … the stability of the horses of the old M-Rohan series always has been a problem to me … rhûom … just some weeks ago the horse of the M30 (standard bearer) started to bend though all sprews are still at it and it was never used, except for display in one of my glass cabinets ….. gggrrrrûoooommm … in the last years I have become used to re-stabilize those horses’ feet from time to time … huom … such matters sometimes keep you busy, right?

Sorry, Master Thingol, I wish I could help, but I can’t … huoommm …

Your Breeish is excellent as ever, Master Tree, but the word is spelt “sprues”, not “sprews” – er, though that is indeed how it’s pronounced. So why “screws” isn’t spelt “scrues” I have no idea… (Ah, the joyful idionsyncrasies of Westron, which were invented to confuse us.)

Or Tough – Tuff, or Bough – Bow (even Bo) it goes on…. 😆

Wonderful language, isn’t it? So straightforward.

huoomm … language is limited and besides that mind please that I am not a native speaker of the Breeish tongue as I’m a tree, Master Barliman … huommm … I wonder how you would cope with our Treeish tongue … huomrhûomm-toppelidom-gru0Omm . hom … harom, klappediklopp … arrhûmtidoom … hom?
nevertheless, what does it mean when there are sprews between small-miniature-horses’legs … ? … and what exactly are they? … do they harm or just are meant to be unnoticed and then better not touched? …. huoommm … I think sprews are as strange as scrues, as far as I know … rhuôm … all I know of is that both are plural … huom …

alas, Master Barliman, would you mind me offering you a drink while you fill my bowl with that liquid I really do prefer? …huom … yes, of course, some coiny-things I still do have …. rhuomm ….. er … ? may I ask you a question, please?
…. ah, yes, looks good, just top it up, please …. rhuom …
I always wanted to ask you why on this Prancing-Pony-Board it reads “have a seat” instead of “take a seat” … rhuoomm …

That’s because Nob wrote it, and saw it as an opportunity to rid himself of some seats that he would otherwise have had to polish.

And for the record, Master Tree, it’s because your Breeish/Westron is so good that I can’t help but try to improve it further. (There will be examinations at the end of the year, so pay attention.)

huoommm …. good explanation for the missing seats in the Pony … humo … I do understand that well … hU°ommm … examinations … the Ent of the year? … huommm … very promising that is … hooommm … though I’m afraid it all will just turn down to me carrying all them tinsel-stuff again and be silent for about a week … alas … poor me tree … huomm … such is life

You’re getting too wise to my duplicitous ways, Master Tree.

just a suggestion — slightly heat up the parts you want to bend with a hair dryer, before you bend them, that way they are less likely to break.

a round for all benders on me!

A strong hot coffee Master Barliman (and you may add some Whisk(e)y)
Winter is early this year, only 6 C this morning…

Certainly is chilly this morning – I’ve had my winter jerkin on since I got out of bed, and I don’t feel warm yet. I’ll join you in a whiskey (whisky? we don’t sell that feeble stuff here) – but purely for medicinal reasons, you understand.

I see the Master Caster lounging about–join me for an ale and a pipe! Master Barli, here are a few “coiny things” to fill our mugs!

Rather than filling your mug with coiny things, I’ll pour you some scrumpy. I haven’t got a mug big enough for the troll so he’ll either have to go without or must go down to the cellar and bring up a barrel for himself.
