Funnily enough, Master OA, your thoughts regarding that there Ranger echo my own entirely – I always pictured him looking somewhat like Viggo in the movies, long, long ago, before Peter Jackson was even a twinkle in his father’s eye. I once even scratch-built a 54mm figure of him (Strider, that is!) that bears an astonishingly close resemblance to his movie likeness. The Man’s renditions are far too ‘civilised’, neat, and tidy – I especially dislike his regulation military haircut!

Now, I must get on – the Tree is getting thirsty!

Oh, now that warrants a pic! Non Mithrils are allowed in the gallery, you know.

Perhaps someone will now suggest Strider “in the rough” for the fellowship?

The only problem will be finding him – this was many moons and umpteen collections of all sorts of bric-a-brac ago, before I became a dedicated anorak and filled the Pony to overflowing with all kinds of LOTR, SW, ST, Doctor Who and wargame ephemera (not to mention 7,000 books…). I’ll get the ladder out and see if I can persuade Mrs B or that scalliwag Nob to have a dig around in the attic (the rafters wouldn’t take my weight, I fear).

Hmmm, I can’t decide on my next Mithril purchase! I’m thinking about either the Lossarnach figures, the Dol Amroth range, or the Corsairs. They’re all nice figures.

I actually think the Corsairs look splendid! Dol Amroth is very cool too. But the Lossarnach province is very affordable. Hmm..

Tough decision..

Yeah, I guess. It will just take a long time to do this.

HUoommrhuoommm … as for what you said about time, well … you might be wrong, Master Barliman … it all depends on the way you accept it … hom … you always haste, then it’s short … rhuoommmm … try to enjoy time, then it might be longer … because then you’re not aware how time flies … rhuoommmhom

Alas, I’m all to aware of how time flies! Every day that passes leaves the pile of unpainted figures just as tall…

Same problem here Master Barliman, but not with unpainted, more like unfinished minis….

I’ve painted 3 minis in the last two days, so hopefully I can keep it going to stay on top of them.

Huoommmm … having painted three figures within two days … gruomm … hasty that is … huommm … I started painting the M10 two years ago and it’s not finished yet … hoommm … it’s because of other matters that might also seem to be important … rhuoommm … such as a blank base for 15 fellows … alas … why haste? … by now it has become rather more annoying to get rid of all them leaves … huooommm … outside the Pony premises, of course …. hommm

I think I’ll saving my money for the much-anticipated, Unexpected Party. It looks, well, words don’t do it justice. I think it is hands down the most visionary and ambitious Mithril creation ever. I love the spirit behind it and the execution looks to be peerless.
