Well I must say I am quite upset about this eldacar / Castamir… I saw the pics almost one year ago and it was still in creation. I told him it would definitly gain emphasis with a “common” base instead of having them separate on “basic” base…. indeed there are those who make dioramas who will adapt, but Mithril has made such great vignettes in the past, it is a pity this one is not a vignette too

well, I think it’s time for some refreshment here, it’s too hot in my head at the moment…. not only outside but with all the current events.

I don’t know what people think about it around here at the Pony, but seeing this “Arwen Hunting” suggestion being in a good position to win makes me shiver and clearly disapoint me… I am more tolerant than many when it comes to Mihtril freedom with sculpting style) but I am not totally out of my mind when it comes to changing clear facts from the Books. It is simply impossible to even imagine Arwen doing anything martial….. PJ did a lot of evil with his Arwen character taking the place and role of Glorfindel… It would pain me a lot to see such “evilness” transpire into Mithril releases…

You know what my view of this travesty is, without me needing to state it again; but for the record, I agree with all that you say.

well I definitly need some fresh drink again… I’m going crazy with all those accusations from Luthien4tinuvielle and quendil on official board, I must say that someone grieves me…. not upset, not disapoint, not anger…. but grieves…

Maybe I am no more in phase with mithril “active” GF members, maybe it’s me who got it all wrong. I know Thingol, Barliman, you agree with me, but months after months, years after years, we have seen a lot of new faces joining the Gold Fellowship. Most of those people are not MMP related in any way, and are not what I’d call a community, they are, well, they are the “new generation”, and this generation may want something else , something new, something different out of mithril, which is not what we, from “the old school”, want

i’m too old fashioned I suppose, time to give up…..

even MMP seems to die , stats are not good, and maybe it’s also my fault here, lack of presence, or my behavior when I am present, make it so that people don’t want to come back… I suppose I can understand them…. my bad mood can make me quite “pissy” at times…

I think I’ll take a real break for some time… don’t worry, the website won’t come down well not until december renewal at least and certainly even after

It would be a huge shame if it did.

The lack of activity on both sites has more to do with Mithril’s failure to generate new models and, therefore, enthusiasm. Things would probably pick up if there was real determination on Mithril’s part to get some marketplace recognition. But how they can be motivated to do that is a mystery – we’ve all made suggestions, especially over the past few years, but none of them are ever taken up or acted upon.

It’s not a “real break” you need, Master Elf – it’s a real drink!

thanks for your word (and drink ) master innkeeper,

well nevertheless… I’ll take a real break . I’ll be away from home next week, which means away from computer and internet… and I hope… I’ll try to paint a bit (first time in a year I’ll use a brush…) but with my twins now totally on their legs running everywhere in the countryside, I fear I’ll be too busy being after them to paint …

I told that you need a real break, Master Gildor?
Well, I thought you already had . . .

well I was not yet on “holiday” master Archer, thus it was hard to make a real break, wasn’t it…. now it’s sure, I’ll be away for some time I hope it will be for the best

A break is as good as a rest so they say . Recharge the batteries, forget about MM for a while and get painting (while they sleep if necessary) .

In the meantime I can now turn my attention to creating the accompanying scenes to Farewell to Bree.

I took some quiet time this morning to read both MMP & GF discussions.
Master Gildor, about MMP, you know I come here as often I could, being also very busy: No brush handling for 18 monthes now..

You also maybe right about old school fans & new fans, you may be not. In the end, it’s life, and as several here wrote, sharing a drink & having good time is the good way it should cary on.

Master Thingol, thanks for the drink.

Cheers !

Haven’t stepped in the GF forum since long, whatever happened take that necessarily rest Gildor.
It would really be a pity that this site would close after all these long lasting years. May the resting and some of the best pony drinks dilute those dark thinkings.
Cheers to all!

Huoommm … so by now it seems everybody here is taking a rest or some holiday at will … rhuoom … or is this silence just been caused by the lack and backlog of that tiny-metal-miniature-things we once used to discuss about here … grûomm … alright, that is to me … huoomm … I still need some time here to clean the rest of those old bar-tabs from their shards and scribbles on them, so they can be used again for new … huomm … cleaning the teeth and paws of the doormats, you know … huom … there still seems to be a lot to be done by that Company that might “keep its customers satisfied” meseems … huom

There is indeed. And there’s no point you looking for the bar tabs – they’re hidden somewhere safely out of the way.
